Im not going to pretend it some fancy hotel but honestly it was great for the price. My room was 76 and it was large! 2 queen beds, and the pool access right outside a sliding door. The tub was stained but clean, no big deal. I will definitely return when I'm in the area. Plus location is awesome too. It's near everything i needed.

Miss Regina & Charlene at the front desk are the absolute sweetest, kindest people I’ve ever met. They radiate positivity & are informative, quick & you can tell they really care about people. The rooms are always clean, fresh & the beds are so comfortable. This is the only hotel I’ll stay at in Knoxville.

Jerry, Shirley, Sherry, Shane, Abby, Gina are all amazing and can’t forget about the house keepers too. No matter what they are there to help. Sorry can’t forget about momma regulator that does the cooking in the morning and Irwin he is just the most coolest laid back dude. Thought I was gonna stay here for a little bit, but I like to call this place home sometimes. It’s super close to everything. Get the right room with a balcony and you will have the best sunrise

The best, cleanest Red Roof I've ever stayed at. The front desk workers are speedy, informative and joyful. The rooms are always clean and the hottub is really nice.

My Goldendoodle and I had a pleasant experience on 12/3/25 at the Red Roof Inn. The check in went smoothly, and the man at the front desk was so welcoming! The room was clean, which was huge! I slept well and my allergies did not bother me at all! This visit was much better than our November visit. When Molly (my Goldendoodle) and I stayed at the Red Roof on 11/16/25, the room was not clean. There was a long black hair in the sink as well as hairs mixed with dust in the bathroom. Also my eyes were itchy and nose plugged up from allergies due to an unclean room. I almost didn’t stay there again, but I thought I would give it another chance.

The room was ok. The hot tub was open this time but was only luke warm, definitely not hot either night we stayed. The hot water in the room shower was great, but the shower head was not so good. It could use a good cleaning The Ladies at the front desk were very polite and helpful. As for the location, be prepared for a horrendous amouts of traffic during the "rush hours" Overall would stay here again. This was our second time staying at this location. There are great options for good food and drinks within walking distance

Friendly staff, overall amazing staying experience. Can't recommend this place enough. They are pet friendly (which I wish I would've known sooner) so if you want to bring your fur babies up to 1 pet for free and the additional are a small cost compared to having to pay to leave your fur baby at a boarding facility. Clean rooms, refrigerators, a/c and heater unit combined as well as hair dryer and iron as well as complementary breakfast before 9:30 a.m. I want to thank all the staff for making this experience enjoyable while staying here at the red roof plus + and suites.
