When we arrived at the hotel for our 3 night stay, immediately we were told that there would be NO WATER, in anyones room, for hours. The pool was absolutely gross, not one person in 3 days used it. Not one time did housekeeping come to our room. Location is good, thats about it.

The room was clean. Room smelled good when we walked in. The property could use some upkeep as far as ppl throwing trash in the parking lot. And also need the ash tray/bin emptied. Smoking section is across the parking lot by the pool area. It is very hard to get out of the parking lot to go get food or drinks or anything else u need. Constant u turns.

Rooms are old and appear worn and not that clean. Stains on the blanket, cover and mattress sheets. Flooring in the bathroom was coming unglued. Mattress boxspring excessively noisy sounds like springs squeaking (no we weren’t going that). Sink didn’t have the stop covering the drain hole at all. Never seen where they check you in through a security window without letting you in the lobby. It was about 9pm when we checked in. People sitting in the parking lot with a barking dog, possibly homeless. One of the keycards didn’t work. WiFi was weak at best. Was one of those hotels that instead of not wanting to leave, you are looking forward to it. Not sure why they have decent reviews. I normally stay in Hilton garden inn but they were booked. Price on this hotel was $88.73 but it felt like a $50-$60 motel.

Door for the room had been beaten in so many times the dead bolt lock wouldn't engage. The credit card keys for the lock quit working, front desk had to let me in with their key. TV only seemed to work on 6 channels. Noisy people in room next door. Property not in great shape, parking lot is very narrow and fills up fast. You can find much better.

Rooms are quite frankly disgusting. They are very dated, and very dirty. The lobby is in perpetual lockup. You need to buzz to get in. To top it off I put a cockroach outside that was roaming the floor. I will never, ever, stay at a Red Roof Inn again, anywhere. Really lousy place. acceptable at $20.00 a night, as a flophouse.

My stay started out great until the room above me started pouring toilet water down into my room on my last night there, the AC went on the fritz, and the manager of the hotel told their staff that was on duty Saturday night not to switch me and my husband out of the toilet water leaking room but thank God he didnt listen to her!!!!! I have been coming to this same hotel for over 5yrs and that one night has brought me to my decision of going to another hotel.

When I stay somewhere there are a 3 things that matter to me. They are good pillows, comfortable bed and a good shower. I can say I was pleasantly surprised with the pillows and the bed that I received during my stay. I think the bed might have even been new. The pillows were a bit thin but still comfortable and didn't hurt my neck when I woke up. I had a king and found zero issues with it. Kinda reminds me of my bed when it was new. The shower. Oh boy where do I start. The room had a Jacuzzi tub, great. Lots of space, not like most hotel showers. But that's the only good thing. I've stayed all over the country in many different hotels. And I've had weak water pressure in some really really nice hotels and great pressure in cheap ones. But this, this was comically bad. As soon as I turned on the water I could tell I wasn't going to enjoy it. The shower head leaked, the water was either boil your nuts off or ice cold. It was a very fine line. But man that pressure, it just dribbled out of the shower head and could barely get you wet. Thank goodness I have short hair cause it would have taken forever to wash. Other than it's just an old hotel, I really can't complain to much. It was cheap and close to the event i was going to. I will say the parking lot, incrediblely small so be prepared for that. Would I stay there again, probably.

My stay was pretty good. The positives were that the walls were pretty thick so it was quiet overall which was nice. The location is great! Everything was about 15-20 minutes away. The room felt comfy. There were a few spider webs in the corners and I know it’s an older hotel so it was kind of expected to see a few damages to the wall and floors. Parking was probably the worse thing I would have to say. Simply because it’s literally first come first serve, and since the parking lot is just a narrow strip, it’s hard to back out if you need to turn around to find a new spot. My room was all the way in the back of the building and I had to park right in front of the office. Even then, it wasn’t too bad. The service I received was great, the receptionist up front was so nice and he made check in easy. Overall, I had a nice stay.

By far my worst experience with expedia. I tried too book a hotel near to my cousins sweet 16 event and had to deal with a world of problems. Including a 4:00 pm check IN not a 3:00 pm check in as stated, which Including sitting in my car for an entire hour. What disappointed me the most was my elderly aunt was traveling with me and i booked a first floor double bed A MONTH AGO and was told there are no more first floor rooms. I had to help push her up the stairs for an entire 30 minutes. The walls are thin and you can hear everything outside. The sheets and towels are thin and itchy. They book you in through a window and you are not allowed in the hotel lobby. I even had to go down stairs for the remote control for the TV. Please don’t book here.

When I arrived and began checking in i asked if they had a bell mans cart to take all 6 pieces of luggage to my room. As I was moving from fl to boston Ma. I also had my service dog With me and nobody else to help.They said no sorry we dont. Ok fine, then he completed checking in with out even atleast offering to assist me in any way. The room i was given was a long walk and on the 2nd flor with no elevator. Ok fine 3 or 4 trips to get the luggage to the stairwell at least in front of my room which is room 39. Set the hallway and all that bringing my dog up going into the room the toilet had a plunger which was overflowing with s***. So to pick up the phone call and the phone doesn't work. Now mind you this Red roof is in a horrible area streets have prostitution right outside their front door drug dealers right outside the front door. So leaving my bags there is running the risk having all of my worldly possessions stolen. So I get back to the front desk with my luggage and said hello he's like yeah I know I just found out from my coworker who is there when I checked in a new exactly what room we were going to he didn't say anything. So the gentleman who checked me in originally says I got you an upgrade to a King room and it's close on the first floor. I got you in the room it's not a king it's a double bed same as before and dirty as hell it was disgusting. And noisy until 4:00 a.m. I will never stay there again. The manager was very gracious and offered me a refund.

We got in late on Saturday. When I got to the room the door wasn’t even shut, turns out the door has to be slammed shut, I was not strong enough to get it to latch so we had to keep our suitcase in front of the door all night. Went to take a shower no towels at all and lobby was closed. Got into bed and it was damp and smelled of chlorine. Noticed there was a leak in the ceiling dripping on the dresser and the bed. By then it was already midnight so I just put a plate there to help - it didn’t- because of that and the ac in the room just kept shutting off I’d have to get up to turn it on never getting lower than 78 and not staying on for longer than an hour. By the morning I was ready to go. I went to check out and they front desk lady just said okay got you - didn’t ask for a name or room number- didn’t type anything in the computer. So I called and asked them to check they said they couldn’t check me out of the room because it was done through a third party site. Okay so went through Expedia who was great but the hotel said to call back the next day at 8am to talk to someone who could handle this. Mind you all I wanted was to check out and make sure I wasn’t being charged for a second night, We had to spend extra money to move hotels due to medical conditions. It took 8 calls being on hold for 6-5 mins at a time ( which isn’t long if there was a problem) but I wasn’t even asking for a refund though I shouldn’t have to pay a damn dime. Just to be told yes I was checked out

This was by far the worst hotel experience ever. The room was in badly in need of repair. There was no housekeeping service, had to call the front desk twice because of the noise including a woman screaming at 6:30 AM on Sunday morning. the lobby is locked 24 hours a day, had to wait for 20 minutes to get a new key because there was no one at the front desk. Ridiculously bad and a waste of my money to Expedia for this stay.You couldn't pay me to go back there. Seemed more like a zoo than a hotel!

Property was dirty inside and out. They advised me that my credit card was declined when the booking had already been confirmed, my card charged and the transaction had gone through. While I was trying to straighten this out, a man came into the lobby complaining of cockroaches in his room and demanding to be moved. As they would not check me in, I just left and went somewhere else. Now I have to dispute the charge.

When I arrived at 4:30 pm the door to the lobby was locked. No way to check in. The entire place looked derelict, and seemed most likely to be housing people who might otherwise be homeless. I cannot believe this was the hotel recommended as an overflow option for the hotel where my event was. I immediately booked a room elsewhere.

This hotel was very close to the location to Florida Mall and the Florida Conference Center. There is a gas station next door and a lot of people who appeared to be homeless or prostitutes, so I almost cancelled the stay. The person at check-in was nice and they have policies and security. The room was nice. Comfortable bed. The water for the tub had very poor pressure. It was very hot though..so yay there. It was fine for a brief stay and would be best for couples or maybe more business men.

Upon booking this hotel and looking through the website I believed this place to be affordable and also very beautiful. Upon arrival I quickly realized that the website was falsely advertised. It states that the lobby is accessible as well as coffee being provided in said lobby. The lobby was closed and a long term guest informed me that it had been closed since covid. The website also states that a pool was a key amenity but was closed throughout the entire duration of my stay. No room service was provided and I had to asked for clean towels every day. The blankets we're broken and the pillows were stained. I would like to submit pictures.
