Red Roof Inn Abingdon

I'm a travel nurse, so I meet a lot of hotel staff, and these were the friendliest I've encountered. The location is perfect, the room was clean, and the bed was really comfortable. I'd definitely recommend it.

I booked through a third-party app and nowhere did it say a deposit was required. The woman at the front desk argued that it was my job to tell Expedia the listing lacked that information. It isn't my responsibility. The hotel asked the site to list its business, so it should make sure all the details are posted. They were rude. Don't book here.

We spent four days here for my son's wedding. The rooms and building are a little outdated, but they're clean and well cared for, and the service was excellent. The couple who own and run the hotel were very sweet and respectful of our needs. I'd tell anyone traveling through to stop and stay the night.

Calling this a two-star hotel is laughable. I've stayed in one-star interstate motels that were nicer. The room was barely habitable, with cigarette burns in the bedding and furniture, a ceiling that looked ready to give way, and piles of dead crickets and cockroaches. The lights didn't work, and the smell of cigarettes was ingrained everywhere, enough to make my eyes water. Management was dismissive, too. At least they only price gouge during major events: for the same dates, you could pay $250 a night for this while the renovated three-star hotel across the street charged less for a nicer room. What a steal.
