What guests think

At Red Roof Inn Paducah, travellers frequently highlight friendly service, budget pricing, and pet-friendly policies, with many finding rooms clean and beds comfortable for a quick overnight stay, though experiences vary across stays and room assignments.

Several reviews report musty or smoke smells, occasional cleanliness lapses including bugs, and maintenance issues like noisy or leaking A/C, malfunctioning fridges, or finicky showers, with bathrooms often described as small. There is no breakfast, and access can be awkward due to potholes or roadwork, but the location is convenient to the interstate and a gas station, and parking is well lit. Expect a basic, no-frills stopover that trades polish for price.

Hard to pick a place to start. From the front desk with its sign be back in 10 min, no breakfast- Shell station next door has biscuits and gravy to the 28 in wide area from tub to wall with the stool in it. While I will never stay there again, it was relatively clean and quiet and pets are free. We were pleasantly surprised car windows were intact next morning,

The place was ok and just that. There was nothing special about it plus no elevator it had stairs and that’s not good when your carrying all of your luggage up the stairs. Plus no continental breakfast only coffee. So I wasn’t happy about all that.

Next to truck park, easy to find and access; no charge for dog, and plenty of room for dog walk. Access cards were iffy, especially from building exterior. Very small bathroom. No breakfast; coffee just from small maker.

The front desk staff were so kind and accommodating, this is definitely where you’re getting what you pay for. The room had an odor and melt a bit mildew like. We did have a couple, im assuming, having an argument in their room and it could be heard from all the way down the hall. If you’re looking for somewhere to get you by for a night, this will do. But sometimes paying a few extra dollars is worth it to be somewhere a little nicer.

Updated ruins. Beds were a bit soft but still comfortable and it was quiet. There is a truck stop being built next door but we couldn’t hear any of it. Unfortunately the humidity in the room was off the charts. A moldy smell was present, the shower was full of hair and something had been spilled on the floor between beds and there were candy wrappers beside nightstand. But it was very affordable and we had already unpacked when we started noticing these things. We were to tired to pack back up so we just made do.

The hotel smelled upon entering. The cleanliness of the establishment was evident with the floor being dirty. In the room, the floor was dirty with small particles in the corners and darker spills evident. The tub bottom was stained with loose dirt laying in the tub. The floor around the toilet was covered in urine. The toilet paper holder was rusted and falling out of the wall. The room itself was large. The cable remote was filthy. We were awoken all night by doors slamming shut. You couldn’t pay me to stay here again.

The customer service was very nice and easy to work with. The beds were grwat and room was clean. The bathroom was kinda small, but no big deal. They had shampoo and body soap dispensers in the shower, nice plus. The fridge in my room (209) was missing the temp adjustment knob so I could not make the fridge colder. The hotel did not smell bad or dingy at all, it smelled like it had just been remodled or cleaned. Parking was a little cramped if you have a bigger vehicle.

The lady, which I've forgot her name now, was extremely nice & took good care of me. I travel with my service dog & on oxygen as well. She gave me a room right next to the door so I didn't have far too go when taking my dog out or unloading my car. My AC was leaking water a bit so it had towels underneath it & were soaked. So I called the desk & in no time she was there removing the old & putting new ones in. And mind you, she was the only one working @ the time & the hotel had sold out for the night. So I want to give her a shout out for handling & doing the great job that she did. I would definitely stay here again. I yet to have a bad stay @ a Red Roof Inn!

Checked in with my husband and our two children. We weren't expecting anything fancy. We just needed an inexpensive place to sleep after a 5 hour road trip. Told the front desk the light would not turn on in the bathroom. Instead of offering assistance, they told us to try the other light switches. My husband had to help the front desk clerk change the light bulb in the bathroom. When we checked the bed before getting in bed for the night we noticed several dead bugs under the bed near the head board. We checked the other bed and noticed the same thing. When we told the front desk clerk they told us there are no other rooms available to offer. They came in and took pictures of the bugs. They told us we could not get a refund because we booked with Hotels.com using a hotels.com gift card. About 15 mins later they called out room asking us to make a quick decision if we would be vacating the room. We told them we need to call hotels.com to determine how to change our reservation since we wouldn't get a refund. The front desk called over and over again demanding to know when and if we would vacate the room. A new front desk clerk claiming to be the night auditor said they issued the refund and hotels.com would need to approve it and apply it to the gift card. Meanwhile my daughter is itching and praying we don't have to stay there because she's afraid of bugs. We finally vacated about 45 minutes later. Refund was issued in the morning.

When I got their the computer system was down, so I had to wait to check-in even through I show my itinerary. Check in and had to pay up front got no receipt. Service to the room was bad. They only time they clean is every other day. When it was time to check out the person looked like he did not work their. He had no form of identity that should have represented The red roof inn. Will not recommend this place. Their is a lot of room to improve that management can do professionally.

Pros: Staff was courteous, room was clean, and I liked the location. Cons: Road construction made it difficult to get into and out of the property, and the road from the property to the street was full of massive potholes -- not their fault, perhaps, but it made for a less pleasant stay. Fan on the A/C was set to Constant On but rarely ran (during a very hot couple of days). The bed was so soft that I woke up with a backache each day. And housekeeping didn't even make the bed. I understand not changing the sheets every day, but I have never stayed anywhere they didn't at least make the bed. Next time I'm in the area I'll be looking for somewhere else to stay.
