What guests think

Reviews of Red Roof Inn Columbia, TN describe a budget stay with widely varying experiences, where many guests report serious cleanliness lapses and worn, aging rooms, while others find acceptable basics and pet‑friendly stopover value.

Repeated issues cite stained bedding, dirty bathrooms and floors, roaches and other bugs, odd smells, and overall poor upkeep. Service is inconsistent: some praise friendly, helpful staff, but others report rooms not being serviced, early-morning housekeeping entries, slow check-in, and difficulty obtaining clean linens or changes. Breakfast and in-room coffee are generally not provided, while the location is convenient for travel though a few mention safety or noise concerns; expect a very basic, no-frills stop.

It was well suited for a quick one night stay. Could be updated and serviced with some maintenance needs. Linens were yellowish. I very much appreciate that they allow dogs and would return simply for that reason- for a short stay.

First of all, I paid extra for a third person, but they only gave us two towels in the room so I had to go ask for another one. My bed had a big stain on the bedspread, so I thought I’ll just turn that back, and when I did, the stain had gone all the way down to the sheets, so that makes me wonder if they laundered the bedding? After that, I did not really wanna sleep in that bed but I had no choice. A shower the next morning made me feel better. I took photos of the stain and the bedding, but there is no option to attach to this review. Would never stay here again unless I needed a pet friendly motel.

Booked because it was listed as dog friendly. Room was not very clean (there was a towel on the back of the bathroom door that was used when we checked in). Would have cancelled but had no other options at the time

As soon as I walked into the room it felt like a sauna and I had to immediately turn on the A/C which was shut off for some reason, in the middle of Summer, in Tennessee. Energy Conservation I guess? There were marks on the walls, a rustic odor, and the sheets and towels were dirty. Despite all that, I was able to fall asleep quickly once the room was cool enough, but this property as a whole is really showing its age.

Both rooms were very dirty. Blood stains on the sheets, used soap and towels in the bathroom, floors and nightstands were sticky. Trash under the side of the bed. Hair on towels and bedding. Call front desk to ask for clean towels and bedding and were told they didn't have any. Only stayed one night (due to how late we checked in)of the 2 we booked.

they still had the lobby closed and their reason was covid (whatever). The staff was friendly enough though but it was impersonal speaking to them through a window. The room was OK but it had an odd smell. Mold/mildew in the corners of the bathroom. The shower had a stream of water coming from the pull out valve and it leaked. the bed was very uncomfortable and while the sheets didn]t smell clean, they didn't smell dirty. The comforter did smell dirty so I took it off to sleep. There was also a toilet paper roll on the floor at the foot of the bed. For the quality of the room it was very overpriced.

This is the most disgusting room I have ever stayed in. There is absolutely no chance this room has EVER been cleaned properly. Our shoes stuck to the floor, there were visible stains, dirt, grime, and filth everywhere we looked. I am absolutely blown away and completely disgusted.

The room smelled, the floor was bubbling up, the bathtub was dirty. The toilet didn't flush properly. The water in the shower was difficult to adjust the temperature. The chain lock was missing. On a positive note, the bed was clean and comfortable.

Service

Staff are often described as friendly and helpful, but housekeeping is inconsistent (no service during stays and early door knocks/entries), check-in can be slow, and getting clean towels or changes was sometimes difficult.

My mom and I were in town for a funeral, and needed a place to stay. It was 6 minutes away from the funeral home. It was very convenient. Only issues was that the remote control to the TV didn't work, and a member of the cleaning crew walked into our room Sunday morning. Very weird.

When attempting to check in we were told we had booked a smoking room. If so it was inadvertent as we have allergies. Clerk said there was a non-smoking available so we asked to be changed. Clerk said she couldn’t do that. Hotel was filthy and unsafe. Door to check in was even kept locked. We didn’t stay and may never get a refund but it wasn’t acceptable. We weren’t expecting much but it was too bad to stay n

The receptionist was very kind and helpful, however we were woken up this morning at 8:30 in the morning with a knock on the door and one of the cleaning people entered our room. My boyfriend had gotten off of work at midnight and was excited to be able to sleep in. We did not know who it was that just came in our room unexpectedly but I could have been undressing or anything so it was a very scary moment and we will not be coming back to this hotel.

For the price, this hotel was bare bones minimum, not even a box of tissues in the room. The building needs serious renovation, the towels were very worn and thin, and the lobby stayed locked, indicating safety concerns. We just needed a place to stay overnight, but for the price, a few more extras and some coffee in the morning would have been a whole lot better.

It is my opinion that they followed Covid protocol just so they didn't have to provide breakfast or other amenities. Nor tissues or coffee provided in the room.
