Off I-20 and close to loads of restaurants and prime retail shopping, the affordable Red Carpet Inn Anniston Oxford offers a good location. The two-floor, exterior-corridor hotel is home to 40 rooms equipped with new cable TVs with movie channels and mini-fridges, and non-smoking rooms are available. The hotel serves a free continental breakfast, and there are laundry facilities on-site. The hotel is at the crossroads of I-20 and popular Highway 21, home to a tantalizing strip of restaurant chains within a couple minutes' drive. For those who never take a vacation from shopping, Quintard Mall is a three-minute ride, as is Walmart. Those reporting for duty are within a 15-minute drive to Anniston Army Depot and a 25-minute commute to Fort McClellan and Honda's plant in the neighboring town of Lincoln. Race goers can hightail it to Talladega Superspeedway in 30 minutes flat. Anniston Metropolitan Airport is less than two miles.
