10/10 Excellent

"This is seriously the best red roof inn! Been up and down the whole east coast and central USA"

Clarion Pointe Athens I-65

8/10 Good

"The room was really clean and the staff was very friendly. The only minor issue I had was a small part of the sheet had some minor stains in them. The breakfast did not look too appealing so I grabbed a banana and pastry. Overall the stay was nice."

Quality Inn Athens I-65 / Huntsville Area West

8/10 Good

"The rooms were a little out dated but the bed slept well"
