Red Roof Inn Birmingham South

I would like to rate the place higher because the property is pretty nice, but my room absolutely stank of weed. Aside from that... 1) the room is well equipped and modern 2) no breakfast bar or restaurant, and there is not much nearby (the only places you can walk to are on the other side of a four-lane highway) 3) they charge for early check-in, but will let you do the paperwork (including picking your room) at no charge if you arrive early and don't actually move into the room until the specified time 4) front desk staff is polite and helpful 5) there is a pool but it was not open in mid-May Assuming the weed smell was a fluke (since it actually got worse through the night, it might have been people lighting up outside), the property is a good, basic place with a comfortable room at a reasonable price. Just plan to arrive fed and get your breakfast along the road in the morning.

Rooms are very clean and staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

This was a great value for the price. The recently upgraded room was clean and comfortable, although I am not a big fan of heavy air freshener. The shower was hot with good water pressure. I would stay here again

Parking difficult due to construction

I arrived around 3am and staff knew ahead of time. I was exhausted. Get to my room. Crash into the very hard bed, and right when I’m about to fall sleep, I hear beep… beep… beep. The smoke detector was beeping that the battery was low! I just wanted to go to sleep. I will give the front desk credit, she brought me up new keys as I packed up my stuff and brought me to a different room. I just think those things should be changed periodically to prevent this. Never did fall back to sleep. The bed is super firm, but the blankets are comfortable enough. Good deal for the price, if it wasn't for the beeping and having to switch rooms. Parking and checking in was a breeze.
