Red Roof Inn

I like it been here maybe once or twice nothing bad to say at all. Great Customer Service Nice clean place of business.

If you’re stuck on a layover in ATL, be warned. This is a seriously SUCKY place to lay your head. Do yourself a favor, cough up a few more dollars and choose ANY of the other options in the immediate area, of which there are many. Red Roof blows.
From the cigarette burns in the blanket on the bed, to the paper thin walls allowing you to practically participate in the conversation happening in the next room, to the shoddy customer service and stink of chemicals used to douse the rank odor of smoke in the room… this place is far worse than a skanky motel, yet it disguises itself as being in the mid-​level range. It isn’t worth any rate.
They only are getting that one star due to their extremely close proximity (across the street) to the awesome and fabulous Spondivits.

I have stayed here several times because it is close to the airport. I have never had issues with the cleanliness of the rooms or bad service. My last stay was about a year and a half ago though.

On our way back from South Carolina, my family got stuck at the Atlanta airport for several hours, only to see our flight back to Orange County, CA, canceled at the last minute. The airline offered us a voucher for local hotels, and we decided just to go with the closest one. So we got off at the Red Roof Inn.
BIG mistake. Not only were there no towels in the room, when my brother and I finally got ours, they had cigarette burns in them and smelled vaguely of piss.
Of course, since our bags were gone, we had no shampoo or soap, and, well, neither did our room. We had to call five times before they brought us two bars of soap. They were out of shampoo.
I also wanted a cup of coffee the next morning, so I bought one from the glamorous vending machine they had in the lobby. The cup flew out, bounced out, and scalding hot coffee flew out over the only clean clothes I had. Luckily, when I went to the airport, I was able to buy an ATL t-​shirt.
Yuck.
