Despite being one of the highest priced hotels around the cleanliness of the hotel was not up to par. Horrible beds and room quality. Small bugs in showers and bathroom. This shows as they only do room cleaning every 4th of the stay and I question if this happens.

Very friendly staff that I had spoken with on 2 different shifts. Nicest Red Roof Inn I've stayed in based on multiple states and cities. Its more modern. I found nothing dirty, no insects, the bed was perfect! Very soft. The only requests I'd like changed are the pillows and TV station selection. Pillows are very hard and very few TV stations to choose from, but every minute I found something i enjoyed watching. Yes, I plan to return on my next holiday to town.

Disliked: Amenities
I checked in and asked if i could be directed to a vending machine. was told there was one on my floor. not in a friendly manner. I found it and It was empty of ALL drinks. I had to leave the hotel to get a soda! I was in the area for surgery and was very tired and in pain. I just wanted a soda and sleep. I went to the elevator and the front desk attendant let the door close! I tried to keep it open and he calmly said it wont open and he rode it to the first floor. I walked down the stairs. I drove to get a soda. On my return I opened the elevator door to my floor and was confronted by a man and a woman arguing. loudly! I went to my room and locked the door. I am a longtime/ member of red roof Inn my experiences have been wonderful up to this. Also no breakfast not even a coffee at check out? Really? the prices of the other Hotels in the area with breakfast and service were comparable. I just chose Red Roof because its my go to Hotel when I travel. This RED ROOF INN can do better. I will be in the area 3 more times this summer but will not be staying in this hotel.
