Hotel reaked of Pot. Was hot and muggy in the lobby and hall ways. Handicap room was the furthest room from the entrance making for the furthest walk to carry in items. Bedding had period stains on it, and the bathroom/shower area was not very clean. Finger prints left on all the bed/night stands. TV didnt work, phone was not working in the room. The back/side entrance was a narrow alleyway that was behind a dumpster making it where you could even see the parking lot. Not a safe exit to use at night which was dumb because that's where they decided to put the handicapped rooms also. Just felt and smelled dirty and like a Marijuana party at this hotel. Would never stay here again. We didn't even stay the 2nd night, we left the next day even tho we had paid for two nights. 0 out of 10 stars. Would NOT recommend. Location was great, everything else about it was NOT good.

My biggest issue with our stay was the noise. We were using the refrigerator, but it would make noise throughout the night. We would unplug it, but we needed to keep it on to keep food from going bad. The worst was the noise from people staying in the room right next to us. The walls and the connecting door do not dampen the sound and provide no privacy. The other room would have their TV on very loud, and they would talk loudly and make noises during what we assume was sexual activity. The provided breakfast was not stocked well to satisfy our hunger through a restless night of not being able to sleep well.

I hate to be this way, but this place was awful. The staff was nice, but that’s all I can say that’s good. We were there on a busy weekend for TXST, and everything else was sold out, or we would’ve left. Our room was dirty (my wife went to Target and had to buy a thing of chlorine wipes to clean it). Window held together with duct tape, mini-fridge leaked in spite of a weird hose they had rigged to try to drain the water from the non-working ice maker. Yellow spots on the bathroom walls where fixtures had been removed. Beds with broken springs and creaks. My wife and daughter slept in top on beds due to how suspect the sheets were. Crumbs and filthy from previous guests under mattress. Junk and old appliances around pool, ice machine barely worked. The family clearly loves in the hotel. There’s a group of rooms with no numbers, but the heavy smell of whatever kitchen they have in there. (It’s Indian food, no way to hide that, but jeez, install a vent). I thought the other reviewers were exaggerating. We’re were there for two nights, luckily it was late I to the second night before we saw our first cockroaches, which were in the bathroom.


Look, I can handle the “charm” of old and broken down. But a motel should at least be clean. This place is a flip house and should be no more than $30 a night at most.

Clean facility. Not much of a breakfast, cereal, bagel, coffee . Just one Ice machine for whole facility. Couldn't keep up over weekend. Daily room cleaning very good. No shampoo or conditioner or lotion or facial tissue. One table between both queen beds. Not Enough. Rooms need an upgrade aging

Red Roof was very affordable and about what I expected for the rate. The bathroom was the biggest issue - the shower head was so low I had to squat down to use it, the towels were very thin and threadbare, water easily leaked out of the shower while in use, no shampoo or conditioner (just soap), no hand towels (just bath towels and wash clothes). Also, the fridge in the room made this ticking noise non-stop. The front desk staff who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. Beds were very comfortable.

Things were fairly clean but for $260, the place was very run down. There was dirt and grime stuck around the sides of the bed and inside the fridge (freezer part) there was some sort of mold growing. It’s clear there hasn’t been any upkeep in some time. The front desk staff was fine, but when he gave me the keys, the paper holder he put them in was stained and had clearly been used before. For the price I paid, it was a huge disappointment.

Filthy. Nothing works, building in disrepair. The pool is insane, do not go in it. The family that owns this place appears to have completely stopped trying. Red Roof needs to dispatch quality control immediately.

Whoever left reviews in the past about the cleanliness of this hotel clearly were bots or were family & friends of the managers who live on the property. The lobby reeked of food upon entering & filled the halls.

The floor of our room was disgustingly grimy! I had put my toddler down on the floor barefoot & his feet were black within minutes. I scrubbed the floors with a wet wash cloth & towel & the floors had not been cleaned in who knows how long. The bathroom & walls in the bathroom were even worse. Dirt was built up & caked in the grout between the tiles.

The hotel couldn’t provide an extra pillow or linens (for the dirty towels we used to clean the floor) because they had no clean linens.

The breakfast included was waffles & stale cereal.

Less than was sold to me.

Our first room had an over all chemical smell that smelt like it was covering up a cigarette smell. First room had no smoke detector. They did accommodate and move us. However we went to the 2nd floor and this would normally not be a problem but this hotel has NO elevator. So check in and check out was a nightmare. Also the towels are thin and useless with NO wash rags.

Friendly admissions clerk, clean room, beautiful clean pool, clean hallways, quiet. No coffee maker in the room. One incident, we asked for more towels before we hit the town because we were short. When we returned, the towels were in the bathroom sink with water faucet dribbling water on them. This was deliberately done by a housekeeper with a tude. I save $40 over Hilton though.

It is definitely an older run down hotel. If you just need a place to sleep it works but it had a smell of rubbing alcohol that was really strong.
But it was a comfortable bed and the air conditioner got nice and cold.
The manager was very friendly but the nighttime employee was not.
I probably would not recommend.
