For the overall stay there are cheaper options.

Check in took almost 20 min. Not because of me but the guy in front of me having issues with something. And when I got back to our room from going out that night they had no parking available on the property. Even the semi parking was full with vehicles. And there were several other people that showed up after me trying to find a spot. Clearly they have way more rooms than parking.

We were very disappointed at check-in when they charged us a $100 deposit for the room that we had paid for in advance. It rather spoiled the stay.

Room was clean and was conveniently located for a cross-country drive. I stay at this Red Roof and the one in Erie PA on my drives two or three times a year and they’re consistently clean with friendly staff and very welcoming of dogs… no extra fee is greatly appreciated when you have a sweet easy going dog who causes no harm!

The towels in the bathroom looked like someone had cleaned an engine with them and they were stained. The bed cover was dirty. I was there on a family emergency and just did not want to have to deal with the staff on the room. I would not recommend this hotel to family or friends.
