The rooms were really nice. Beautiful with wood floors. The bathtub was kinda gross and in need of update. The entry door had been upgraded to card tap but the actual handles stuck so bad it took a couple trys to get in the door. Breakfast was great with hot foods. Friendly staff.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Broken door.

Handicap accessible room. Floors were sticky. Door was so crooked that the bottom didn’t seal tight. Bed was also the end of its life. The GFCI was shutting off the basement groom lights but we figured out how to fix that. Quiet hotel mostly, except for the poor sealing door. Pets were welcome. We got what we paid for, overall.

Comfy Stop Close to 65

Comfy and convenient to 65. Behind a Cracker Barrel, gas station, and plenty of food options. We were 2 adults and a small dog just looking for somewhere quiet and safe to break up a long road trip. It is a very simple and older room with a big bathroom and a good-sized fridge. Staff was friendly.

We checked in about 2 hours earlier for an extra 20 dollars. The clerk was nice. Restaurants and shopping in walking distance. About 45 mins after checking in we had no water, there was a water leak. Which the water came back on in about 1 hour after checking in. This place has a few cosmetic issues.The comforter had spots on it and the light or lamp did not work in the room with the sofa. This property was okay for our 1 night in Alabama.

Room was dirty. Black hair everywhere, floor was dirty, comforter had dirt spots, towels had stains. We had the suite and TV in couch area didn’t work. No soap in either bath or sink area and no shampoo. We used what we packed. The dead bolt on the door would not close. Breakfast was average. The noise from traffic and workers staying there was LOUD. At checkout we weren’t asked how the stay was and they refused to give us a receipt. Said there system wouldn’t allow it because we booked through Expedia. We will never stay at a Red Roof inn again.
