Red Roof Inn Marietta

I stayed in this hotel for 7+ weeks, finding a mix of good and bad which I'll summarize here. Although my backside room was quiet from traffic, it seemed to be far noisier from the guests which gravitate there. Thus, choosing a best side may not be easy. Pros: This hotel is in a convenient location, being next door to an (outstanding) laundromat, Walmart, and the riverfront bike & walk path, as well as close to the interstate and ＜ 5 minute's drive to any downtown shopping or dining. Booking months out, it offered the best rate in town via a weekly discount. My remodeled double-bed room was reasonably clean, roach free, and comfortable with nice firm beds, good bedding, (mostly) nice towels, a good mid-sized fridge, microwave, work desk, bath vanity, storage space, and more. The AC, TV, and cable worked well. Management and house keeping were pleasant and cooperative in all ways. Cons: On most weekends and some eves, the guest noise was annoying - with loud talking people, running kids, and barking dogs. The budget place also attracted more of a worker or transient type of clientele that entailed people drinking, eating, cooking and socializing outside in the walkways and parking lot - followed by leftover trash and garbage bags that too often weren't picked up for days. I felt safe, but the environment was subpar and nothing like a normal, middle priced hotel. While the remodeled rooms were decent, some of the old furniture remains, the dark painted walls are ugly, the old floors creak, and the outside building condition remains cruddy. Overall, this place could be a suitable choice for those on a tight budget willing to accept marginal conditions. The deal breaker for me though that will prevent my return is the wifi, which was terrible - all day, every day, all the time. It was entirely inadequate for streaming, video chatting, or VOIP calls, and often struggled even with email and web surfing. The problem wasn't room location either, but rather equipment problems management was unable or unwilling to fix. Until or unless this significant problem is fixed, the hotel is a poor, unacceptable choice in my view.

I went to a concert and decided to stay overnight. The Red Roof Inn had just about everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable and the hotel was quiet, so I had a great rest. I didn't need any of the amenities except the coffee machine in the room, but I felt that I got excellent value for the price. It is right by the I-77 exit and about 3 miles or so from downtown Marietta, so very convenient as well.

The room was spotless clean. Bed was comfy. extremely friendly front desk and housekeepers. Bathroom very clean. Close and convenient to down town and the river walk area.I definitely suggest to everyone and I will come again in the future.
