The rooms could use a lot of updating. When we first arrived, we were a little early. The front desk staff at the time quickly said you're early. If you want to check in, there's a fee. Once I agreed, she then said there were no rooms available. We left and returned. The room was not in good condition at all. The property manager did accommodate us to another room once I went back to the front office. The 2nd room was a little better. Because we were not staying in the area for a long period, not a full 24hrs. I was just trying to find something inexpensive but nice, for a little rest. Unfortunately, I got the less of a low cost deal. Hopefully, they will get better.

The lady in the lobby was tired from a long day and was not very talkative, was straight to the point of getting us checked in. When you walked into the room it smelled very clean . The bed was horrible, half the bed sunk and you could feel springs. They need new beds.They only provide you with one pillow per person.
Very close to a lot of restaurants and across the street from a grocery store. Uber Eats has a very hard time finding the place even though it’s in a main road. The community is sketchy, we stayed our one night and left early.

I called in the early afternoon of my check in date to advise the property of my late check in. It is all automated interaction. After 3 separate phone calls to reach a live person, I was advised that there would be a number posted on the door to call so someone would be able to check me in. I arrived at the property at 10:30PM. I called the number on the door, the person that I am assuming is the maintenance man came to get me checked in. After checking in, he was adamant about walking me to my room and taking my bags. Even after telling him multiple times, I got it, he was insistent.

Was not what I expected at all. Pretty sure they photographed and advertised the only room that got renovated because mine was not like the pictures at all. Paint chipping, bugs, rust, just outdated. The phone in my room didn’t work. The office isn’t open 24/7 so I had to call an after hours number when my key stopped working. The check in process took forever for no reason. It was just one thing after another. I will never stay here again.

Reserved the room a month in advance, showed up an hour after the earliest check in time and they said I had to wait for a room to be cleaned. I came back in an hour and still no room comparable to the one I reserved. They showed me another room which was tiny and outdated. The area around the property was trashy, numerous units had people sitting in lawn chairs outside doing illicit things, and overall had a trashy feel. I do not recommend this place even though it is cheap.

The office closed at 7pm and they tried to called me shortly after they closed to tell me they didn’t have any rooms available after I made a reservation. They said that because I booked through a third party site they did not guarantee a room. When I asked for a refund they suddenly had a room available.

They had the overnight security check me in when I arrived at 10pm after a wedding. The key card reader to my room did not work so the security guard had to let me in anytime I had to leave the room.

The floors of the room were dirty, there was no toilet paper, and though I requested a nonsmoking room it smelled horrendous.

There were other guests fighting outside of my room until 2am waking up everyone on that side of the facility.

They knew I only booked for one night and didn’t warn me that the office was closed on Sundays. I had to call the security line which referred me to another phone number who then sent me to escalations just to check out.

This stay was horrible and I will not be staying at my Red Roof or their affiliated hotels/motels ever again.

A Wonderful Stay with an Amazing Terrace!

I recently stayed at HomeTowne Studios By Red Roof Gainesville, GA, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The highlight of my stay was the Terrance—it was absolutely awesome! Whether it was enjoying my morning coffee or unwinding in the evening, the terrace provided stunning views and a serene ambiance that truly enhanced my visit.

The staff was friendly and attentive, the room was clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was welcoming. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Got to be ranked right at the lowest in memory.

In route we realized we would be late and tried to call. No answer.When we arrived the office was locked. There was a convenience phone near the door but it didn't work. There was a number to call on the door which I used to get them to admit us after about a 12 minute wait. Once in the room we found NO toilet paper. Not even the spindle. No soap. Only 1 garbage can. The toilet wouldn't flush! Not even just urine! The shower temp could not be adjusted cool enough to use. It was so hot we could barely hold our hand under it. The next day I reported this via the phone again. He said he would have it taken care of and gave me 1 roll of toilet paper that had been started and one that was half used. No new rolls. That night we returned to same thing super hot shower water, non flushing toilet. I was enough of a plumber to get the toilet to flush. I managed the shower by turning it on lowest/coldest setting and get in right away. I washed head and face quickly before it got to hot. We found the rest of the body will stand hotter water than your head. If we stepped in and out of the stream we were able to get showered.
The beds (especially one) had a big dip in them. The one was crazy big. I would call it a hole. Lastly the fridge was having some kind of problem because water was running out from under it.

The ac unit sounds like it is going to explode. I checked in friday, by sunday, i asked for an accessible room due to my leg or if i could get a refund for the remaining time so i could stay somewhere accessible for me, they did not have any, only offered on same floor or 1 lower...still steps, not accessible and never commented on the refund.

Property was as expected. Price was major attraction. I flew in, stayed overnight, and checked out the next morning.
Problem was with reservations by Expedia. After making the reservation I was informed by Expedia that the full itinerary confirmation would be sent to me via email. I never got that itinerary. Went to the hotel and was told at the desk that they had no reservation on record. So I paid for the night directly to the hotel via my credit card. Next day I learned via my credit card that I was being charged twice for that room. Had a hell of a time over two days trying to get a refund from Expedia.
