The Red Roof Inn Birmingham South, formerly the Hampton Inn & Suites and Baymont Inn & Suites is a 3-story motel at 1466 Montgomery Highway in Vestavia Hills. It opened in the 1980s.

On the evening of April 4, 1977 then hotel manager Larry Maddox exchanged words with salon owner Jody Ford outside the Brookwood Village cinema. Ford followed Maddox back to the hotel to confront him again, and Maddox retrieved a shotgun from his office and shot her to death. He pleaded not guilty by reason of self-defense and was acquitted at trial.
