This place is awful. Dirty, and infested with roaches and bugs. Had to be moved rooms due to roaches, then 2nd had bugs crawling on the walls and dead ones on floor. Hair in shower, kept stepping on pieces of loose grout from floor. Also recieved a nice bite on my leg. I should have walked out. Place will not work with me on refund for dirty unsanitary conditions.

We stayed here for a night and it did exactly what we needed — the room was clean, comfortable, and conveniently close to our venue. The staff was kind and even gave me a call when I accidentally left something behind in the room, which I really appreciated!

The staff was very friendly. Clean facility. Comfortable beds. There is not an elevator, which was surprising. Try to get a room on first floor if possible or you'll be hauling luggage and what not up stairs.

When I get there I asked for a top floor and they told me can’t do that because my reservation was for kingside bed and top floor only have double beds and I said that’s no problem for me but they don’t want to make any changes Also when you are in the bedroom nothing it’s quite, you can hear people walking on top floor and when they are using the bathroom, can’t sleep , I don’t recommend this hotel for anyone who wants to rest I never come back to any Red Roof in
