I expected less than what we got based solely on price. We were traveling cross country and also had animals with us. The room was clean and well maintained. The parking lot was well lit which made me feel better because I had a U-Haul trailer with me. The front of the property had a little dog area for their needs. If I was really judgmental, the only issue we had was connecting to their Wi-Fi. I would stay here again.

I was helping someone move to the Birmingham area, and needed an inexpensive hotel for a few days to get a shower and sleep (and no more). This hotel fulfilled my needs. The TV did not work, the pool was not open, and there was no breakfast, but I could make due without them. The area did not feel completely secure to me (especially with external entrances to all rooms), but I experienced no problems. The staff was polite, and everything was acceptably clean.

Property renovated . This property is not like the old red roof inns . Elevator not working. Had to climb outside stairs and pull luggage up. No check in after 2am.. ?! Not sure if this is the only hotel that has a cut off time for check in or what ?! We stopped to rest for a chunk of hrs and that was good enough for us . Nothing fancy here . Rooms now renovated.

I wasnt expecting a top rated RedRoof Inn. Dont have that in St Louis. I go on 5 or 6 mini vacation and RedRoof rates as a better place to stay.

The rooms may be renovated but they lack cleanliness. Walked into the room and saw multiple stains on bed sheets, floors were sticky, spots on toilet seat. Needless to say… I was there 5 mins and then left to a different hotel. There was no way I could push through and stay there for an evening.

We did book late, had trouble finding a room. This hotel had decent reviews and for a mid-range cost 100+ for the night I figured it would have to be at least decent. Everything about this hotel is just dirty, from the moment you walk in, the floors were dirty, not swept or mopped, beds had several hairs in them and I question if the sheet had even been cleaned and or replaced. The bathroom was dirty, tub looked to not have been cleaned. I would not even consider giving the place another try even if they offered a free room. The staff were friendly but just no general maintenance or upkeep. The walls in the room even had stains on them from like hands prints and such and were never wiped down. I would think any cleaning staff could open the door to that room and see it needed attention badly. If it would not have been for the late hour I would have thrown a fit about it right then but we only had time for a few hours of sleep before we had to be back on the road to make an appointment the next day. But I would tell anyone avoid "this" red roof in at all cost.

Jackie at the front desk is a gem. Very kind. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and simple. Unfortunately it's very noisy due to the rooms being outdoor-facing, so plenty of folks having phone conversations loudly late at night on the balcony. During my stay there was also quite a gathering of cars competing for how loud they could rev their engines in the parking lot. Wasn't the hotel's fault, but was another issue that came with the outdoor-facing rooms. During my stay there also seemed to be an issue with the humidity in the rooms. I was on the 2nd floor and thought maybe I was sweating really bad at night, walking up very damp in damp sheets after a thunderstorm. But that morning a lady from the 3rd floor said she woke up wet also and all of her bedding and laid-out clothes were wet, with the room covered in a thin layer of water. Sounds like an issue filtering air OUT and dehumidifying. But it was reported, so I hope it gets fixed soon and isn't an issue for future guests.

The staff was courteous, the room clean and well stocked. However the room was very small and difficult to get around in. Elderly people aren't very agile and need more room to maneuver around. We were told the handicap rooms only have one bed. Many times handicapped persons have care givers who are not a spouse and do not share beds.

The front desk personnel, Jackie, was excellent. She was so kind and helpful. She really worked with me on checking in early. I am truly grateful for her help. She was honest with me and communicated with me effectively about the check in time. However, she went above and beyond to make sure we could get settled in our room. The area was quiet. The room was nice and spacious. It was near a lot of restaurants and convenient to a lot of places. I would highly recommend this hotel and will reserve with them if need be in the future.

Horrible experience. Elevators don’t work. Lady gave me a key to a room on the 3rd floor that didn’t work so after bringing my baby and bags up, I had to walk back down and get her to remake a key. Then a family comes and opens my door with their own key and says she also gave them room 343. When I think it can’t get any worse ANOTHER woman opens our door with her own key and says the lady also gave her room 343. If I weren’t with my husband, I would’ve left. I was terrified. The room was kind of clean. My daughters feet were black from the dirty floors, but besides that the room seemed ok. Will never stay again.

We stayed for 7 days/nights and during our entire stay, our room was never cleaned, beds never made nor was our linens ever changed. We had to ask the housekeeper to exchange our towels and additional rolls of toilet paper. When we exchanged our towels, a couple of the towels we were given still had dirt and stains on them. We also took out our own trash On our 3rd night, there was a small water leak coming from the ceiling of the bathroom. We reported it to the hotel staff, however no one stopped by to follow-up or to clean up the water on our bathroom floor. The room appeared clean and kept, however we did run into a couple of cockroaches. The water pressure in the shower was abysmal so it took longer to take showers. Overall, we would only recommend this hotel to anyone if their stay was only a couple of days. The good thing about this hotel was that the location had a lot of restaurants and businesses nearby. If you are expecting customer service, you should look elsewhere.

I went through 3 rooms when I was “checked in”. The first room was partially open, and I walked in in someone in the shower. The next room, the key didn’t work. I went back downstairs and was given a key for another room. That rooom either appeared to be under construction, or the last people to stay there destroyed the room. I waited my turn in the lobby, and I was unable to wait past 15 minutes due to the fact that it was 9:30 at this point. I did not end up staying at this facility.

Traveling with packed car and the facility gave me a room number 236, in back, where I could not see my parked car and only had 4 parking spaces plus 3 handicap spaces. Yes, property has security cameras but not liable for theft. On top of that, my room (236) also had no dial tone to call front desk and cops were arresting a person at the hotel as soon as I got there. I only showered and slept for 3 hours before I left back on the road. Not recommended for traveling.
