Overall good stay-would stay again
We enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfy, staff was friendly and it was extremely pet friendly. Smoke free but lots of marijuana smoking going on as we constantly smelled it on our floor and seeping into room. Not the hotels fault-just inconsiderate people. Breakfast was really good.

Decent Stay - Over priced.
We had to find a hotel last minute when we got tired driving home from the beach. Staff was very friendly and the breakfast was good. However the pillows were TERRIBLE on the beds, and are flat as a rock. The beds are hard, and we did not sleep well. Someone started smoking in their room somewhere around us the next morning and we hurried out so we didn't smell the smoke.

W had a great stay. We especially liked the fact that they allowed dogs. The staff was fantastic! Only real issue was that the pillows and beds didn't seem fresh.

Unexpected Room #1 Surprise
First room literally had large drops of condensation on the ceiling dropping onto floor, beds, desk, fridge. We quickly changed rooms. 2nd room bathroom fan (room 206) has large tendrils of dust and dirt hanging from it.
It was a busy Univ of Alabama weekend with freshman move-ins. Most other hotels were full and gouging on the price in Tuscaloosa. The rate was reasonable if you're not expecting more than a 2-star experience.

So glad we stayed at Red Roof Inn!
From the moment of our check-in, met at the counter by a real person though it was late in the evening, until we left the hotel, all staff and conditions were impressive.

When we entered the room, the floor was wet. We thought it had just been mopped, but it didn't dry, so we wiped it with towels. Everything continued to sweat, even the bed felt damp. When we woke up everything was wet even the ceiling.We reported it to the front desk and they gave us a refund.

Need a thorough cleaning
Room was subpar, floors were dirty and needed to be swept and mopped. Shower drained very slowly. Linens and towels were stained. We also had gnats or sewer flies flying around in our room trying to get in out food. Bed was ok, quiet for the nost part. Check in staff was very sweet and super helpful. Very nice young lady and ahe definitely deserves a raise! Not many young ppl with her level of professionalism around these days.

Stay away!
First thing we saw walking into the room was roaches crawling on the floor. The room smelled funky and not good. The building is falling apart and patched back together in crappy fashion. The phones dont work, theres no lights in the ceiling. The toiletries provided are awful. I chose this hotel because it had 8.2 stars and I have no idea how because this had to be the worst hotel I've stayed at. I feel like I deserve a refund.
