Red Roof Inn Etowah – Athens, TN

The mattress was horribly hard. Both of them. The heater rattled loudly all night long. The shower curtain was broken on both ends.

The area was quiet and had good dining opportunities. The facility was clean. Only issue was security of the facility. Any non guests have access to enter at anytime. Not all doors are secured with room key entery. One door in tge east stairway didn't even lock nor secured at any time !

For the most part the room was fine, there was hair clumps in the shower, the bed was very uncomfortable and the sheets did not fit the bed, it was like they put Queen sheets on the king bed. For the price and what we needed it for (in at 1130pm out in the morning) was fine.

We decided not to stay. The room didn’t appear to be sanitary and the doorways and hallways were dirty. We left within after actually going into the room,

The room was not clean, the shower had other people's hair in it, and the shower drain was clogged. Gross. We stayed there two nights in two different rooms. One room was better than the other, but both needed very thorough cleanings and maintenance.

We ended up spending 8 nights at this location. For the price it was a nice place and suited our needs just fine.

The heater was not working in the room and it was 44 degrees outside the next morning. The water in the bathtub took a long time to drain, and I mean a long time. When I told this to the person at the check out counter the next morning, his English was very poor, I don't think he understood a word I was saying. We just left.

The towels and rags all had previous stains on them even though they were clean, and some of the rags were worn beyond keeping. The fitted sheet had would looked and felt to be dried paint on them. The water pressure in the shower was superb.

Friendly staff. Nice clean room. Comfortable bed. Walking distance to grocery store, ATM, fast food restaurant, very nice coffee shop.
