Hotels near Steele Creek Park, Bristol

I spent 3 nights here over a race weekend. Whilst the outside does need maintenance the rooms are pleasant. Greeting by the front desk was quick and friendly. I was lucky as I read prior reviews and had asked for a room at the back, away from the highway. There is only a local road out back and the noise is bearable and ceases during sleeping time. The room itself is newer and was clean when I arrived. There were some hairs in the tub but I suppose you can’t have things cleaned perfectly everytime. Plenty of desk space to place things, power outlets on the lamp. The bath area is a good size with a bathtub shower. Toiletries included shampoo, conditioner and body lotion, whilst soap was in bars. The bed was very comfortable but the pillows were too fluffy and small for me. The room did not get hot when the a/c was turned off at night. The only disappointment and room for improvement is the breakfast. The healthier options were pretty much non-existent and you are offered waffles, sugar-loaded cereals, fruit bars, sausage egg and cheese biscuits and yoghurt. There was some fruit but not much. Coffee was regular or decaf and it was strong, but quickly runs out after 10 cups or so. I realise you cannot expect a lot at this price but some other choices would be great. Also, right on 9am the breakfast stuff was hauled away. One night I didn’t get to bed till 1am so Management could have kept it out an hour longer, especially as most guests were attending the race. I’d be happy to return based on the cost and quality of the rooms.

Very clean hotel, and friendly staff. My only complaint would be the road noise from I-81! The hotel is located directly by the interstate, so night time noise was very loud. Also, our room with 2 queen size beds was relatively small, especially the bathroom, in comparison with other Hampton Inns we've stayed at.

Good location

Most other recent reviews are pretty accurate. The Red Roof is an older property, but it has had room upgrades. Rooms have laminate flooring, new tile in bath, new furniture and bed coverings. Rooms also include a small fridge, very handy. Beds were adequate, a bit springy and soft, but not obnoxiously so. Room and bath seemed clean, no odors or mustiness. I requested a non-Pet room, so cannot speak for any possible aromas in the Petstay rooms. Bath was also entirely adequate, with sufficient water pressure, but showerhead is a bit low. Note that the toilet is a very slow flush model, so might want to watch what you eat, or it could lead to problems in that area.... Only real downside is proximty to Lee Highway and Freeway. The noise is extreme and incessant, with about every 12th car being an open muffler or an equivalent motorcycle, and windows do nothing to block the din. Only saving grace was in the fan on the HVAC unit, that can be set to run continuously, and is pretty loud, but still a much better white noise that highway racket. Might want to request parking-lot side of building, which does not face the road.....
