The only downside would be that the lobby/breakfast area was a little chilly as the doors open right into the area.

First time at a Red Roof Inn and I'm impressed. Nothing extravagant, but functional, clean, and comfortable. The check-in process was the fastest and easiest I've ever experienced! While I didn't bring a pet with me, I was also happy to see that they're allowed free of charge. My room was quiet and ...

The rooms were like small apartments. Though close to highway, couldn't hear a sound from outside -- or even from neighboring rooms. I loved having a bedroom to myself. There were plenty of extra pillows and the bed was so comfortable! My son said that the sofa-bed was more comfortable than his own ...

Nice hotel. Room was very clean, bed and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom did not have a tub, only a shower. However, the shower was nice and the water pressure was good. The toiletries were nice, but there was no shower cap included. Having only a shower, it would be nice if they included ...

I'm a guy, so, a nice adequate room at a great price through Orbitz fit the bill. A basic room with a nice bed and television. Not so close to the highway as to disturb sleep, although the parking lot lights of the Mexican restaurant were pretty bright. So, if highway noise and outside lighting are ...
