Amazing breakfast.
I had seen the previous review and was appalled at it. The breakfast host Corrie went out of his way for us. Never mentioned anything bout a tip. He got food for my elderly father and even made sure our coffee was hot. We had a bad time with front who stay on their phone the whole time. So thank you Corrie. You made us a regular there. You do a great job
Old and it shows
Up for the UTK game and the family weekend. Ok, so the staff was friendly, but walking down the hall towards the room was the first clue. Dirty carpets, stained walls and celling tiles, maybe from a roof leak, old paint. Yes the place is very dated. The room appeared to be clean, fresh bedding but the matress was as hard as a rock. They did have a microwave and small fridge in the room and we had a good view of the parking lot lol.
Not great
I did not enjoy staying here... The staff was nice and I loved the girl who worked the night shift... didnt get her name but she was a sweetheart and went out of her way for me... but besides that the rooms were dirty... On the surface they look clean but when you really get to looking there was hair everywhere and dust all over everything, stains on the bed and the showers are dirty and it had a smell of mold or mildew... The hallways were dirty and even the elevators were dirty and weirdly very hot... The breakfast was sub par and the guy who runs it wouldn't leave me alone and then had the audacity to mention that "tips are appreciated"... for what? Talking my head off while I tried to eat?... Yeah right... Dogs barking and drunk people in the rooms next to me who stayed up all night... The lady who checked me out was friendly so I guess the only thing this hotel has going for it is the front desk staff... Fix everything else and maybe people will want to stay here...
Ok but could use improvement
My family and I stayed here on the 16th of September and I did enjoy it for the most part. The hotel staff was very kind and courteous, especially miss Ashley and miss Megan. The breakfast was good (surprised that it even had one because most red roofs don't offer free breakfast) although the breakfast host decided to impose himself on our table and after we left he asked for a tip which I thought was incredibly rude. The rooms were ok, a little dated but it was clean and comfortable. All in all it was a decent hotel stay and I would probably recommend staying here if you are looking for a budget hotel. One of the nicer Red Roofs I have stayed at.
Uncomfortable!
We had to evacuate from our Florida home due to Hurricane Irma, and we were grateful to find a pet-friendly hotel that had vacancies. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the price was reasonable. But overall, the hotel is badly in need of a cash influx for improvements and repairs. The worst part was the bed. It was the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept in. It was as hard as the floor, but even worse - you could feel the individual coils and springs. It was like sleeping on a box springs. I know mattresses are expensive, but listen - there are foam mattress pads you can buy for under $100 over at the Walmart. Maybe even that wouldn't have helped, though. The other serious problem was floors. The rooms have laminate floors, which is a good thing for a pet-friendly motel. However, it was not clean. After just a few minutes of walking barefoot, the bottom of our feet were black. I finally got one of the towels wet, got down on my hands and knees, and scrubbed the floor. Listen, anybody can tell you that vacuuming and sweeping isn't enough for hard floors. They need to be damp mopped. Invest in those mops with removable terry cloth pads. The pads are machine washable and they do a great job. Plusses + Pet friendly, no extra charge + Friendly staff + Located near restaurants, stores, basically anything you need + Rooms are fully equipped with refrigerator, microwave, etc. + Shower has good pressure + Breakfast buffet is typical Minuses - Hard as rock beds - Only one chair per room, so if two people are sharing the room, one person has to sit o on the hard-as-rock bed - Wifi is free but inadequate. Pages load like dial-up speed - Rooms, especially floors, are not well cleaned - Some guests with dogs don't pick up after them. The hotel needs to post signs and make bags available.
