This place is just OK. Was able to sleep and shower and go on about our day. Had trouble with the TV. Phone didn't work so had to go downstairs for help. Gave me some tips to fix it on my own. No breakfast. Good location close to I75, shopping and restaurants.

We stayed here for a travel softball tournament we were in , the reviews didn’t look bad , so we gave it a shot. The lady at the front desk when we were greeted on Friday night was not friendly at all , she was more interested in going outside to smoke a cigarette with a man.as we entered our room there was a hand print on the wall totally creeped us out , the bathroom was dirty floors were not clean , I moved a chair to find a weed grinder underneath it. On a positive note on check out Saturday the lady was nice. This was my first time staying at a red roof I probably will not stay at another
