Biggest problem was with lack of amenities. Not enough towels, no hairdryer, tv didn’t get main network channels. Also wasn’t clean. And the air conditioning system was loud.

Lots of room for improvement. We expected more.

Night staff was good, day staff was so so. Room was the most horrible room I've ever stayed in. Dirty everything, disgusting sheets, ridiculous pillows, and the bed was like a 30 year old worn out rv mattress. It smelled so musty, yet you have to pay another 50 dollar deposit at check in for not to smoke in the room. We put our own sheets on top of hotel sheets. Gross hotel with 0 regard to cleanliness.

For the price of the room per night, I really cannot complain to much. You get what you pay for. My primary complaint is the condition of the mattress on the beds. One mattress was so worn out that the middle was collapsed like a 500 lb weight was on top of it. The other bed wasn't much better. If you require a comfortable bed, you might want to look elsewhere.

If your bank account is low and your standards are lower, this is the property for you. The rooms are not particularly clean and the amenities virtually non-existent. The towels were NASTY. The sheets were thankfully clean, at least to the naked eye.

I read the reviews and decided to find out if it was as bad as some said. It was worse. Floors had not been cleaned in a month or more and the ac unit had roach droppings, never seen a roach so they must be having them sprayed. We had hair balls coming out from under the bed that had collected their own dust. We have to go get flip flops so we could get up through the night to go to the bathroom and not put our feet on the floor. I cleaned the sink counter because it had so much dust and dried toothpaste on it.

Upon our arrival we were informed by the front desk that the facility did not have any hot water and that it may be repaired that evening. Checked with front desk that evening and was informed that it might not be repaired until the next day. We hung in there.

The next day went to front desk and the plumber was on site and informed me that it may or may not be fixed. Come to find out that the boiler needed to be replaced and no idea when it would show up.

We checked out on Feb 12 and the hot water was still not fixed. Spoke with manager about to see if we were going to be compensated for the inconvenience and were informed that the room was prepaid through expedia but other people who decided to stay only had to pay a veery reduced rate. To me this was not right. I must say that the staff were exeptional and could only due what management directed,

When I talked to manager all he could say is we will switch youbto a different room and give you 20% back for 1 night that you saw the roaches in the room. Then the new room was the same half cleaned, house keeper hair in the bathroom, stained bedding. Didn't feel comfortable sleeping under the covers used my own blanket to sleep on.

The staff at this hotel were very rude and not pleasant to talk to at all. There is no elevator for second floor and they charge extra to be on the first floor. I got there 10 minutes before check in time and they said it would be an extra $25 to check in right then even though the room was ready. So I waited the 10 minutes and checked in to not have to pay the extra. Really the only thing I can say good about this hotel is the location.

This location may be more suitable for solo or adult travelers. I stayed for a weekend while visiting a friend, and each night there was noticeable police activity in the area.

On the positive side, the location was convenient enough to get me where I needed to go in a reasonable time.

We were very disappointed in our room overall. We were told when our daughter stopped by to check it out that we would have a superior room on first floor. We were early (30) min check in and had to pay $25 extra and then we had to stay on the second floor. Out side area, steps, were in need of paint> Ice maker was not operative. The room had roaches, hair on the bathroom floor, tub was cracked, towel rack in bathroom was missing. We had reservation for three days. Second day we were not serviced, had no towels, only one trash can, not emptied. We were told that we had to request service that morning. No one knocked,on our door and we were there. Very subpar and wanted us to leave a tip. We checked out after second day. No refund offered but they took a $50 deposit up front. Our first experience with Red Roof was not good.

NASTY, HOOKERS, GROSS

THE PICTURES ARE A LIE. I DO NOT know how this hotel has the rating it has. We didnt check things over 100% when we walked in as we were late for our event. It smelt clean we could smell bleach. However, while doing my hair the bathroom counter was tacky & the mirror had something on it, & my husband said he had water to above his ankles in the shower. We came back that night and i started to get ready for bed, dirt on the floor i went in to use the bathroom and the floor and walls were nasty, pulled the sheets down on the bed and there is grease or something & hair all on the sheets i wanted to barf, couldnt call the front desk phones dont work & we were stuck at the back of the property so it wasnt a quick walk to the front had to get in my car, the man working was like no other rooms. I wish i could write more but it only gives us so many characters to tell you how GROSS, oh dont forget the HOOKERS crawling threw the lot. AC full of dust, pillows stunk of dirty greasy person & cigarette smoke, had to sleep with a towel on the pillow. only thing that match photos was the bed cover. Mold & Rust through out the room. We both woke with a headache and sore throat. Have a lot more photos but can only add 8, DO NOT STAY HERE

Sketchy and Scammish

I did not stay due to the guy at the front desk telling me they had no rooms on the first floor, however they indeed had two rooms I saw and I mentioned it to him, I let him know I couldn’t walk up the stairs as I had just had surgery done and was not able to walk up and down stairs. He told me the room was a different price from the one I booked, which was not an issue for me but the way he carried on I decided to cancel the room he told me I would receive my refund and I asked for proof of him authorizing the release of my refund and the older guy that was there other him jumped in and said they couldn’t give any proof but that they will send the approval of my refund to hotels.com and to contact them about it. I contacted hotels.com at first I was told there they were unable to reach the property and then I was told a lady at the property answered and put in a request to release my funds, but I never received it. The area the property is in looks very sketchy like and the employees themselves seem shady as well, I wouldn’t recommend anyone especially a woman on a solo trip to stay at this property. It’s a scam and very sketchy.
