Didnt expect a 5 star experience based on price, but here are my main issues.

There is some sort of metalworking plant is across the street resulting in high-pitched and eerie keening at all hours day and night.

Key card access through front door meant walking around the building to come in the backdoor to bring luggage cart to elevator for early checkout.

Strong smell in the room.

Floor was sticky and the linoleum was bubbling.

Evident water damage in the bathroom.

Weak plumbing, especially the toilet.

Tight parking (and other guests not being careful with car doors).

I would only book this motel if it’s your last resort like it was for us! House keeping done a very half ass job, front desk didn’t want to accommodate us with the proper amount of towels. The front desk staff isn’t very helpful when checking in guests they just doing a rush job. And not to mention the bed bugs and roaches everywhere from inside to the outside.

Well, the room had terrible pillows, cracks in all the walls. The sheets were fairly clean, the shower was ok. The main issue is that my truck along with 14 other vehicles were broken into and robbed. The refrigerator also had a nasty stench and there was a smell of drugs when you exit your room. Would not recommend.

The rooms need to be cleaned a lot better. At first glance they look ok but, my feet where filthy on the bottom so floors need mopping. All furniture including head board night tables front of fridge outside of microwave up overtop where you hang clothes was absolutely filthy. Our bedspread was dirty our blanket was dirty. There's bugs in all the light fixtures. For it to be the best of the king bed rooms it should have been better cleaned. The last one was the same.

There was mold on the bathroom ceiling, and in the refrigerator. The refrigerator had a strong mold smell. Water was leaking down bathroom wall from upstairs bathroom. First room they placed us was so strong of cigarette smoke we asked for another room. They had to replaced the air conditioner twice before they had a working unit. Which barely okay on hot day it struggled to keep room cool. Some of the linen had dark stains or worn out patches. The sink drain was leaking, the corner chair was pealing it surface material. There was NO contental breakfast.
I'm giving the two stars because the staffing was so friendly, the hotel was pet friendly,

We got checked in, we asked if we wanted a ground floor room and accepted, and we’re glad to have it. We got to the room and whoever cleaned it had not swept into the corner, there were lots of bugs on the floor. There was more than just dryer on top of the sheets, there was actual dirt in the bathtub, and peeling paint from the ceiling on the vanity. Maybe more importantly, I had paid for a “plus“ room, and this was not that.
I went back and was pretty much told that was the best they could do and I most certainly had not paid for an updated room. I showed them that I had and politely let them know that I would go elsewhere if I did not get a clean room that was updated. They gave us an updated room on the third floor, and does my wife, and I walked in, we were hit with a waft of smoke, strong enough that we wondered if someone was in there!
Went back and complained again, and were escorted to a room that was almost spotless, but Spartan. this is kind of a rough place..
It was rather unfortunate for the owner. I suppose that I had booked two nights on hotel.com, and reserve the third night over the phone. I guess they forgot, because he woke me up, almost broke the door in, breaking one of the bolts that held the deadbolt in place, before I met him at the partway open door and advised that he goes somewhere else while I get dressed and I would be up to the office to help with things out in a little. He had taken my credit card, but not run it.

Let me start by saying I never write reviews for hotels. With this being a decently rated hotel I just had to get on here and say I do not understand the rating this place has. Check-in was easy and the front desk worker was friendly enough. The room, unfortunately was pretty terrible. The faux leather chair in the corner was peeling massively, and a previous guest had drawn cartoons all over it with an ink pen. There was no soap and the tops of the soap dispenser and any other bathroom amenities were caked with dust and sticky. The remote control was also extremely sticky. The TV didn’t work at first, and I eventually figured out that the satellite was plugged into the wrong HDMI port. The floors were also pretty sticky and we found some hairs in the beds. Honestly, I didn’t even make it to the bathroom because the rest of the room was pretty rough, so I can’t comment on the state of the bathroom. Unfortunately, I booked the nonrefundable rate because we were needing a room in a pinch, but decided to just eat the cost and stay elsewhere because we had children with us and the rooms just did not feel clean enough to have my children sleeping in. We really are not very picky people, and have stayed in some less than perfect hotel rooms in the past, but this one just really was too much for us. Which is unfortunate, because it really is in a great location with close proximity to Franklin and Nashville.

I have never left a hotel as quick as I did this one! I felt so unsafe from the very moment I pulled into the parking lot. There were suspicious people lingering throughout the hotel that were blaring music and had a chained pit bull that was barking and growling the whole time we were there. There were security screens at the front desk with several cameras that were not working. The area was something out of a movie scene (not in a good way). The room looked pretty rough as if the hotel was hanging on by a thread. I stayed for a total of 10 minutes before I checked out and stayed elsewhere. NEVER AGAIN.

Our stay at this Red Roof Inn PLUS+ was a series of frustrating hurdles that made it difficult to truly relax. To start, the cleanliness was genuinely concerning; we encountered visible dirt throughout the room and, most distressingly, stains on both the sheets and the towels. The maintenance issues were so persistent that we had to change rooms three times. Between a refrigerator that wouldn't cool and a blow dryer that simply didn't work, the basic amenities were a gamble.

The electrical situation was equally taxing. Most of the outlets were non-functional, forcing us to prioritize which devices to charge and in what order just to keep our phones alive. When you combine those technical failures with incredibly thin walls and a choice of views between a loud highway or a train track, sleep was hard to come by. Even simple tasks were a chore—the third-floor ice machine was broken, requiring a trek down two flights of stairs. While they did offer complimentary coffee, the quality was definitely a \"you get what you pay for\" situation, though the gesture was appreciated.

However, the saving grace of this entire experience was the service. I want to give a massive shoutout to Zontae at the front desk. I arrived close to midnight, and she was smiling, welcoming, and incredibly friendly. I learned she was already an hour past her scheduled shift because a coworker was late, yet she never let her professional, upbeat attitude slip. She is the only reason this is not 1 star.

The soap dispenser was full but didn’t work. We had to use shower gel from the bathroom to wash our hands.
There was a wire sticking out of the ancient ac unit.
The only decent thing in that room was the sink and countertop.

There were roaches in the first room we were given, so we went to the lobby to inform management and they moved us to another room. The second room was nasty, a pair of dirty underwear in the bathroom, dead bugs under the sink, a terrible room all together.
