The room was clean, the sheets were spotless but the comforter could have been cleaner. The heater worked well and I was able to run it at 68 degrees while I was gone so I didn't come back to a cold room on a sub-freezing night.

Great Price and Great Stay

The rooms were spacious and so clean! The staff were very friendly and were able to address our issues with the TV right away. We felt secure at this location because a room key is required to access the building. This was our first time at a Red Roof Inn and we will definitely be back!
