This is definitely a motel level experience. The lobby smelled strongly of natural gas. The rooms had comfortable beds with clean linens, but there were some dead bugs and flies in the room. There was a water leak and peeling paint on the ceiling by the door. The bathroom shower was a bit dirty and the rod was falling apart. The pool area was clean, but feels a bit exposed to the parking lot area. There were a few people hanging around outside of their rooms at night which felt uncomfortable walking past from the pool to the room. The breakfast was OK waffle maker was a plus, biscuits and gravy felt old. Overall an OK stop for the night but a bit expensive for the quality.

We traveled to Hunstville for Space Camp graduation and needed a place to sleep & rest. The Red Roof Inn met those needs. The bed & pillows were soft, shower was clean and hot and the breakfast was delicious. We will return next year!

Dont stay here! You will regret it!! ]

I would never stay here again or would I never recommend anyone to stay here. I was with my b/f and 83 year old father traveling back from Florida. Chips and crumbs from food all over the floor. Inside the hideabed was so disgusting! Hair and chips, food crumbs all inside. Looked like it hadnt been cleaned in a LONG time. No sheets in bed. When I went to use the phone after cleaning the bed for sheets, the phone didnt work! We were all the way in the last room at end of hotel and had to walk to get them at 11pm. After getting back, noticing so many other things. I plugged my phone in and the outlet came out of the wall. The toilet paper dispenser and fan in bathroom had been replaced with undone spackling or drywall around it undone. It was in such poor shape I could go on! Fingerprints all over the microwave which the inside wasnt cleaned either. The bottom of the bathroom door was swollen rot from water like simmering overflowed. I am normally not so picky. I can't believe i stayed or didn't ask for another room. I just wanted to sleep for a couple hours and get back on the road for home. If my dad wasnt diabetic, needed to give him his insulin and put up his legs from being swollen, I know I would have demanded refund and kept driving!!

Assigned room 103. Upon inspection, discovered an unopened condom in the bed along with evidence that the bed linens had not been changed (dirt, hairs). A box of condoms was found in the bedside table drawer. Contacted the front desk. Initially the attendant removed the bedding but, after a 15-minute delay, the attendant offered us a different, equivalent room. The new room (107) was satisfactory.

This was just ok. We stayed as a halfway point to Florida. The bathroom was out of shampoo and body wash. The outlet in the bathroom didn’t work. My husband took a shower and walked around the room and his feet were dirty, so they did not clean the floors beforehand. The pool was dirty a full of so many bugs and there was no net or I would have cleaned some out. The “eggs” at breakfast were not eggs. They looked gritty, looked like they were made from powder and did not taste great. The few positives, the staff was so friendly and nice and it was convenient. Will try somewhere else next year.
