Red Roof Inn Etowah – Athens, TN

Sadly, I would’ve given this hotel a one, but since it’s the only hotel in Etowah I’m giving out a two. They put us in a room that had floodlights shining into our space, and even with the blackout curtains, it kept the room somewhere light while trying to sleep. The bed was bad. When I went to take a bath, there was mildew around the edges. And for entertainment, while in the bath, I got to see a cockroach run across the floor. The lampshade had it’s binding falling off.

.

Bed was very very hard. At first checkin he gave us an old dingy smoking room. We had to go back and as for a non smoking room which was very nice but the bed was VERY hard and we both did not sleep well at all on it.

ROACHES!!!! Walked in Room 109 and saw 4 roaches. I was moved to another room. AC vent was very dirty. Always have Zero airflow. Rooms had AC turned OFF. Took very long to cool down.

Property was run down. Paint chipped and peeling. Stains on the bedding.

Eateries within walking distance. Plenty of parking. Room was decent but bathroom needed a little touch up but everything worked well. AC was a bit loud but kept the room cool. I recommend this hotel and would stay again.

I liked the fact that it was close to restaurants and fast food. Kinda sucked that they didn't have a pool though.

The front desk is the reason it was a horrible experience being charged $100 and called after I checked out to be harassed, berated, and banned from the property over a dirty diaper in the trash is crazy. My TV kept turning off and we would have to unplug it to make it work. The ac barely worked. The room was dirty when we got there. If I hadn't been so broke and tired I would have moved around but 10/10 do not recommend stating here.i hope y'all think twice about staying here.. no free breakfast either. Stray cats EVERYWHERE. If you go outside to smoke the owner will constantly circle around and watch you also.
