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!

Came here last 5 plus years and always booked two rooms with elderly mom on the way to Florida. Our tv went out, worker came to the room, offered to move us, we can’t when my mom is in the other room, she was sound asleep at 930. Nope, I already booked at Best western next year cause nobody called me to make this right! I should get a kick back for being great customers!

The property is pet friendly. Breakfast is nothing fancy, but good enough to get you off for a decent start to your day. There was evidence of water damage on the ceiling in our room, but nothing to suggest an ongoing issue. For the most part, the property was comfortable and quiet.

Upon arrival the room was very cold. All surfaces in the room felt damp. Walking in our socks left them wet and very soiled. Very dissatisfied. Won't be staying here again.
