What guests think

At Red Roof Inn Dothan, reviews are mixed: travellers appreciate the convenient location, pet-friendly policy, easy parking, and occasionally friendly staff, but repeated comments cite poor cleanliness, pest sightings, smoke odors, noise, and various maintenance issues.

Several guests note the lack of a proper breakfast, with only a small grab-and-go bag or none available, and the outdoor pool is frequently reported as dirty or closed. Room quality feels dated, with reports of plumbing and electrical problems, odors in non-smoking rooms, and disruptive late-night activity; a few guests found rooms quiet or spacious and beds comfortable. Expect a basic budget stay where location and pet convenience outweigh consistent upkeep.

We had stayed there for 1 night last year we had 2 dogs with us, we wanted to get way from the house so i booked us for 2 nights. we checked in went to our room tried to turn on lights and it was missing a bulb. Front desk told us there are other lights in the room. went to reheat my left overs from dinner and the micro wave was filthy. The pool was filled with green water and all slimy. Pay a few extra dollars and stay somewhere else!!!!

As always, Red Roofs are pet friendly without additional charge. This location is convenient to restaurants, grocery, etc. Pool looked nice but we did not use.

The pool has not been cleaned in a long time, the lobby person said it's green because of the dye, that was a lie. When we went to check out the pool there was a lock on the gate. That was at 2pm. We got them to unlock it and we looked at it and turned around it was so nasty and there was thick layer at the bottom of the pool with green sludge in it. nasty! The rooms were nasty, the floors were not clean, the bathroom was nasty poop on the wall where the toilet paper was. And when we closed the bathroom door a rolled up piece of toilet paper fell from the vent that had blood on it. The wifi did not work. The breakfast was not out when we got up in the morning which is a on the go breakfast which was awful. I would not recommend this hotel at all. Staff not great at all, they lie to your face. And the towels in the bathroom smelled like mold so bad and the smell in the room was putrid it gave me a horrible headache. The motel also has drug deals going on and prostitution. Not safe, not clean. just disgusting

I have a small dog so the first pet stays free was a big plus for me. Rooms definitely could be a lot cleaner and more updated. All in all the am staff was friendly and helpful but the pm was very unknowledgeable and unhelpful. The rooms have a land line phone which is an added+ but whenever I was away from the property they gave me so much grief about connecting to my room.They have a pool which is a 5 ft pool and it would've been a nice ammenity if only it would've been cleaned(or skimmed with net)daily and the pool rules would be more enforced. I've stayed here a couple different stays and the 1st was on a weekend and a bunch of 230 am partiers kept us up all during the early morning. Probably would stay again if necessary. I've seen /heard of WAY more terrible hotels than this one.

Rooms reeked of Marijuana, roaches all over the floor in the corners and under the bed and dresser. Handicapped room did NOT actaully have any handicapped features especially in the bathroom and shower. Floors were disgusting and 1 of the beds looked as if someone had taken a nap on top of the comforter and sheets. The lock on the door was busted and hanging half off the wall while the parking lot had a geavy presence of sketchy people roaming around.

Where do I begin... rude front desk clerk fighting with someone on the phone during our check in, toilet flush was stuck, the toilet itself shook badly, and there was urine stains all over the seat. We always bring cleaning wipes and thank god. The bed was broken and horribly loud, the power and light on the right side flickeres when the bed moves, and the outlets didn’t work. Just an all around horrible experience. :(

The room was very dirty, couldn’t walk on floors with out shoes. The sheets didn’t get cleaned in washer must have had to many in it to get them properly clean. The bathtub wouldn’t drain and the faucet was holding on by a thread! Definitely will never stay here again. Not worth the cheap price, we ended up buying our own cleaning supplies to clean the room since we were there for 4 nights. Had to use our own blankets we brought on our trip! Terrible don’t stay here!!

Pros: The location is fine. Dining and shopping options nearby. The staff that I spoke with was very friendly (Jessica, I think). Mattresses were comfortable. Cons: We were evacuating from Hurricane Helene and needed a room with an accessible bathroom. This was the only option available and was supposed to be non-smoking but it smelled strongly of smoke (especially the bathroom). The comforters were stained and the room wasn't serviced at all while we were there (3 nights). The breakfast room was closed the entire stay as well. I tried looking for other hotels with accessible bathrooms but there were no vacancies so we were stuck. I ended up buying air purifiers and cleaning supplies for the room. If you are sensitive to smoke or have allergies, find another hotel if possible. Also, the beds are very, very tall. I had to get a step stool for my elderly grandmother. The bathtub needs refinishing as it has sharp areas on the bottom. If there had been another hotel option I would have taken it.

The front desk lady was nice. The room was not as clean as it could be- mainly hair and dust. Work had been done on the adjoining door, and the rubbish from this was on the floor. The A/C unit was insanely loud even on low fan. The shower dripped. Overall a bargain hotel price wise, but we got zero sleep.

It was awful. Mainly because I was continually charged for one night. Even after check out my card was tried twice for the same room. And that's not even the first time. My room wasn't very clean . The shower curtains are gross. The shower/ tub was peeling and looked like someone was just standing there with shoes on. My sink wasn't very clean and there was hair everywhere and that creeps me out . The place is becoming run down starting to smell like urine on the property. Most things are out of order. It's full of blue collar labor workers who may not mind but sanitation and cleanliness is key and they are in desperate need of a remodel.

I honestly was concerned for my safety here. I think I was the only woman on the property and the rest were transient workers. Because of the layout, where it's all open, I didn't see video cameras or safety measures. Kinda scary for a single woman. I literally waited for all the transients to leave before I ventured out of my room to pack the car.

We stayed for the weekend with our two dogs which was great! Though, whenever we needed extra pillows or towels/rags, they didn’t have any extra to give you or provide for you which was a bummer. And online, it says they have breakfast to eat but it’s just brown bagged breakfast to go (yogurt, granola bar, water, and a snack cake), which is okay (at least they have something right?) And also the beds were a little on the hard side. Yet, overall the stay was a 3.5/5.
