Murfreesboro's BEST Kept Secret: Red Roof Inn Review (You WON'T Believe This!)
Murfreesboro's BEST Kept Secret: Red Roof Inn Review (You WON'T Believe This!) - Seriously…
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea on Murfreesboro's, (wait for it…) Red Roof Inn. Yes, that Red Roof Inn. You know, the one you think you know? Forget everything. This isn't your grandma's roadside motel. (Unless your grandma’s kinda hip, then maybe.)
Accessibility & Safety (First Impressions & a BIG, Unexpected Win!)
Okay, let's be real. Accessibility is a huge deal, and I was pleasantly surprised. The website mentioned "facilities for disabled guests," but you never really know until you're there, right? Well, I was incredibly impressed with the ramps, the spacious elevators (seriously, room for a small army!), and even the accessible parking. No fumbling, no awkward maneuvers. HUGE win. And speaking of wins, let's talk safety because I’m a bit of a germaphobe (judge away!).
Cleanliness & Safety – This is where they freaking SURPRISED ME:
- Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. In every room.
- Daily disinfection in common areas? Yep, saw it with my own two eyes.
- Staff trained in safety protocol? Absolutely. They were masked, friendly, and kept their distance – without being weirdly unfriendly.
- Room sanitization opt-out? Okay, this one’s brilliant. If you're like me and want all the sanitizing (seriously, I want them to nuke it), you can have it. If you don't, you get your room untouched until you arrive. Love it.
- Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. Seriously, it’s like a free-flowing river of Purell.
- Rooms sanitized between stays? DOUBLE CHECK. They're serious about this.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter? They actually managed to make this feel natural, like the staff were genuinely just giving you space.
CCTV in common areas & Outside Property? Yes and yes.
Fire extinguisher? Obvious, but important.
Smoke alarms? Of course.
Security [24-hour]? Absolutely. Kinda gave me a sense of comfort, especially traveling solo.
Now, the little imperfections are where the charm began…
My heart kinda melted when I saw a tiny, hand-written note on the welcome card. Not overly polished, but the font was cute. Made me think, “Okay, these guys actually care.”
(Rambling Alert: Hotel Room Breakdown)
Okay, let's get into the room itself. Now, don't expect the Ritz. (This is a Red Roof Inn, people!). But…
- Air conditioning? Absolutely, and it blasted ice-cold air. Heaven.
- Free Wi-Fi? Yes! And FAST. I stream all day.
- Desk? Yup, a decent sized one. Laptop workspace = sorted.
- Coffee/tea maker? Yep, with the essential condiments like creamer and sugar (I'm HIGHLY dependent).
- Refrigerator? YES! Because late-night snacks are a necessity.
- Microwave? (Not in my specific room, but some do!)
And, a super-small-but-important detail: sockets near the bed! Finally, a hotel that gets it. Phone charging, check.
Dining? (Okay, Maybe Not Michelin Star Quality… But!)
Alright, let's be transparent: this isn't a foodie paradise. But for on-site snacking and morning coffee, it was just enough. No onsite accessible restaurants or lounges.
Breakfast [buffet]? (sort of): Pre-packaged muffins (sigh), single-serve yogurts, and weak coffee. Okay, not great for breakfast, but it did the trick. However, there were nearby restaurants. and a mini fridge, so you can always grab food, and store it in the fridge.
Coffee/tea in restaurant: Coffee and tea were plentiful.
Convenience Store (on-site at walking distance): For late-night snacks and emergency supplies (like chocolate!), a definite bonus.
Alternative meal arrangement/Buffet in restaurant: The food situation overall could have been better, but the prices were amazing.
Things to Do / Ways to Relax (Unexpectedly Delightful)
Okay, here’s where the Red Roof Inn in Murfreesboro started to surprise me. Don't expect a spa. If a full spa experience is what you are looking for, then this isn't your place.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Yes! It wasn't the biggest or fanciest pool, but it was clean and refreshing. And honestly, after a long day of driving, it was pure bliss.
- Fitness center: I didn't actually use it, but it was there, clean, and seemed to have the basics.
The Big Takeaway: The Unexpected Value Proposition
Listen, this isn't a luxury hotel. It's a smart hotel. It’s clean, safe, accessible, and has all the essentials. And… it's affordable.
This isn't a place where you’re going to lose money.
The Quirky Observation:
The lobby had a weird, but charming, mix of modern art and local flyers. Gave it actual character.
A Tiny, Heartwarming Anecdote:
I had a minor issue (totally my fault, I locked myself out!). The front desk staff were SO helpful and cheerful. They fixed it with grace and genuine smiles. The staff really makes this place sing.
The Bottom Line: Should You Stay Here?
Absolutely! If you're looking for a clean, safe, and affordable place to stay in Murfreesboro, and you love a good value, book it.

49 on Cherry: Johannesburg's Hidden Gem You NEED to See!
Okay, buckle up, Buttercup, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. This is life, Red Roof Inn edition, Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Prepare for a whirlwind of questionable decisions, lukewarm coffee, and me, attempting to navigate the concrete jungle that is a suburban landscape.
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation…and a Disappointing Microwave
- 3:00 PM: Arrive at Red Roof Inn Murfreesboro. Oh, the romance! The gleaming promise of…well, a budget stay. Let's be honest, the lobby smells vaguely of chlorine and regret. I swear, every Red Roof Inn has the same scent profile. Immediately check the room. Pray for cleanliness, and hope like hell the A/C actually works.
- 3:30 PM: Success! (Mostly). The room is… functional. The bedspread looks like it's seen some things, but it’s clean. The bathroom, small but pristine. The TV, old but functional. I unpack, tossing my bag on the floor—I'm a refined traveler, what did you expect!
- 4:00 PM: The quest for sustenance begins. There’s a tiny microwave in the room, which should be exciting… but it’s the size of a sardine can. Ordered a pre-made sandwich from a nearby gas station. It's… fine. Not great. Actually, pretty mediocre. I swear, I could write a dissertation on the emotional impact of disappointing microwave meals.
- 5:00 PM: Driving around Murfreesboro for an hour trying to find a decent coffee. Saw some interesting people, from a guy meticulously detailing a lifted truck to a woman trying to wrangle three screaming toddlers into a minivan. I think I'm enjoying the people-watching more than I'm enjoying the pre-fab coffee at the gas station, sigh…
- 6:30 PM: Found a decent diner. Bless their hearts, it's filled with chatty locals. Got a burger with fries. The vibe is pure, unadulterated small-town charm. Chat with the waitress, who probably thinks I'm a crazy tourist, but hey, she's got a good heart.
- 8:00 PM: Back at the Red Roof Inn. Trying to watch TV. The cable selection? Let's just say I have a lot of History Channel queued up in the future.
- 9:00 PM: Reading my book, feeling oddly content. This is the moment, right? This is the "vacation" that somehow feels just right.
Day 2: Battle of Stones River
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. The world still exists. The coffee machine in the lobby… meh. Hit up the gas station again, gotta do what you gotta do.
- 9:00 AM: The actual 'reason' for my trip: Stones River National Battlefield. I'm not a huge history buff, but I feel compelled to learn. Walk the battlefield, letting my mind wander. The weight of history settles on you when you're standing in a place like this. It's heavy, but not oppressive. I even get a little teary-eyed, you know, for the poor souls.
- 11:00 AM: The Visitor's Center. Read up on the details, get a map, realize just how much fighting happened here.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch at a BBQ joint. The smell hits me the second I opened the door. Pulled pork, slaw, cornbread. It's a religious experience, honestly. I need to move here… for the barbecue.
- 1:30 PM: Continue exploring the battlefield. The sun is beating down, there are a lot of memorials and… I feel a bit overwhelmed. But I keep going.
- 3:00 PM: Back at the Red Roof Inn. Relax for a little. Shower and try to forget the history, though it will all return in the morning, I'm sure. Rest is important.
- 4:00 PM: Feeling restless. Look for a local bookstore. Finding a bookstore in a town like Murfreesboro is going to be an experience!
- 4:30 PM: Look at some stuff at a local antique shop I find on the main drag. A real gem. The shop owner is a local, a kind soul who gives me some advice.
- 6:00 PM: Find a local pizza place. Get a pizza. The pizza is great, so I double down on the pizza idea.
- 7:00 PM: Back the the Red Roof Inn. Try to use the wi-fi. The Wi-Fi is… spotty. The TV is still bad. The A/C keeps turning itself off. I'm starting to think this is some kind of test. Am I supposed to be here?
Day 3: Departure… and a Last-Minute Revelation
- 8:00 AM: Wake up feeling… surprisingly refreshed. Maybe it's the history, the BBQ, or maybe just the peace.
- 8:30 AM: One last gas station coffee, because old habits, don't die, I guess.
- 9:00 AM: Check out of the Red Roof Inn. Say goodbye to the chlorine scent of regret.
- 9:30 AM: This is where it gets messy. Driving out of Murfreesboro, I pass a little roadside antique store. I do a U-turn. It calls to me. I go back in.
- 9:45 AM: The place is filled with the sort of dusty treasures. After some time, I find it: A weathered book, some old stamps. The book? It's a collection of old letters. It's a whole box of them.
- 10:00 AM: I find a handwritten letter. Then another. I sit in the back of my car, and start reading through them. They are a snapshot of time. I'm completely absorbed.
- 11:00 AM: Realize I'm late, that I need to leave for actual work. I leave, but not without the book.
- 12:00 PM: I leave Murfreesboro and begin to drive home.
- 1:00 PM: I will keep the letters in the car, and take time to read them. That's the vacation moment I need to reflect upon!
See? Messy, honest, and completely human. The perfect Red Roof Inn adventure!
