Room 1 had no bedding on the bed, the dresser was backwards and away from the wall. One of the beds had a large dark stain. Room 2 looked like it was beyond time for maintenance to address it there was chunks of paint missing and when I went to use the restroom my son called me out. The room door had no door handle. We had to call the front desk from our cell as there was no room phone and we couldn’t get the door open. Front desk took 2x to answer the phone. Room 3…..well I’m tired and can live with the smell for a night. Not worth 1/2 the price. Save yourself and go anywhere else.

Overall room was clean except for the tub was dated so appeared dirty. Check in/out was a little awkward due to language barrier and staff member could not explain that receipt would come from Expedia. Good option if you need a reasonable room for night with easy highway access.

Terrible. Where do I start. No fire alarm (just a hole in the ceiling where it should be), stained sheets, someone else’s hair in the shower, dust on the doorknob (actually crazy it was thick), no outlet covers, the side table had plug ins so you can plug your phone in which was nice except the plug ins were being used for the lamp and tv LOL. Do your self a favor and don’t. Hot breakfast was stale muffins and watery batter for waffles. Got milk out for cereal and the milk was room temperature. Learned my lesson.

The room is advertised with queen beds, they were full size. The lights wouldnt work. And the building smelled like marijuana. Which got worse when we reached our floor. Had to check out shortly after entering room and booked a new hotel for our stay.

The property was very dirty. The floors looked like they were never cleaned. The bathroom sink wants hardly attached to the wall and the toilet rocked. Over all this hotel was disgusting and i dont plan to return. We even ended our stay a few days early because of the filth.

Motel was fine, room clean and bed comfortable. Apparently someone removed the grate on the air conditioner and defecated inside and replaced the cover

We both were super itchy in the bed which is very scary! The room was dirty, the toilet struggled to flush, and the sink wouldn’t drain.

Had trouble with key cards two days in a row. TV in room didn't work, I advised the front desk and they said they would come up in ten minutes, never showed. If you just need a bed, this motel will meet your needs.

There was no one at the reception desk when I arrived. Two other people were waiting and said they had tried the phone number posted and had been there several minutes already. The room itself was very dark. The light bulbs were low wattage and there weren't many of them. The floor I was on was the lower floor, half a flight down from the street level. The tub in the bathroom was in poor shape.

Smaller room. Air conditioner was noisy and could hear something like the ice machine all night long. Did ok in a pinch but would choose differently next time. Price was definitely too much for such a hotel-but it was a game weekend.

Our room was very newly renovated. It was also very clean! However, we were barely greeted upon arrival as the attendant was too busy on the computer watching videos. There was also next to no water coming out of the shower head, we had to switch the water to the tub faucet and do the best we could. When we told the morning attendant this, she said 'oh'.

Incredible good attention from the hotel staff, because the Expedia did a big mistake, I did a reservation for one room and 3 adults, and Expedia gave me one king bed room and didn’t fix this mistake after I called them. Though the hotel manager solve my problem even that the Expedia didn’t care about. Thanks so much Red Roof manager, appreciate your attention and support.

Waited quite a while at the front desk to check in, even called the property twice while waiting and got a voice message saying they were not available at this time. Mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. Price too high for the quality of the property.

Aging facility and the bathrooms were very average... no hair dryer. Limited breakfast. Friendly staff to welcome you but you have to ring a bell to have someone come out and help you. That is a trend that needs to stop.
