The breakfast was great. The bedding had stains on it and they didn't clean and restock towels in our room.
Of course you have to understand that this is an older hotel so therefore it’s a little dated. However it was clean, the breakfast was very good and the beds were very comfortable. Which is important to us. This is our first stay at a Red Roof Inn and I was pleasantly surprised and pleased. The room has a very nice size refrigerator and a microwave. I don’t think you would be disappointed at all. Especially since it’s less expensive than all the nearby hotels. I feel certain we will stay here again in the future.
We were please with our stay. There was a small hiccup in which the correction couldn’t haven then. So the staff quickly moved our room which actually was a better room. Would return if ever traveling near there again.
Everything was as expected, probably 7-8 on a scale of 1-10. For the price, I was very pleased. Parking was easy, room was clean and fairly newly maintained, beds and pillows were comfy.
Best Red Roof inn we in our opinion. Excellent accommodations. Staff was professional. Breakfast was great! It was a wonderful hotel. It was cheap, clean and perfect for the stay!
I was very impressed with this place. The young man who checked me in was very kind and professional, the room was exceptionally clean, the parking place was right in front of my door, and it offered free breakfast although I did not have time for it. It was apparent that it was an older property, but it was well maintained and was the perfect balance of comfort and economy. Absolutely would 100% recommend for anyone traveling (especially with pets). There was a large green lawn space with a pet waste disposal station behind the property.
