The breakfast was pretty disappointing. Then the bed….the metal around the base was bumped into too easily and gave a loud sound. Not appreciated during the night. Also, the bed squeaked and creaked. Needless to say, we won’t book at the Red Roof again. On the plus side, the bed was comfy and we didn’t have to sleep in the car.

Too loud and dated

Located right on the freeway but the windows are not insulated and it was super loud and it kept me up at night. No smoker room smelled like it was smoked in and hair dryer was dirty and sticky. Everything is super outdated and needs at least a "facelift". Staff was very welcoming and friendly.

$100 a night incidentals????

The Room itself was decent enough. The beds were comfortable and clean, the restroom was small and outdated, but overall the room was fine. My issue lies with the many "PARK AT YOUR OWN RISK" signs and the exterior being rather outdated and rundown. The area around the property was nice enough, but you could definitely tell that the shadier things could happen at the location. This is all being said because the booking site had a much nicer presentation. I felt VERY misled by the listing on the booking site. ALSO, there is a $100 incidental authorization that is not listed anywhere when booking.
