It literally looks like a crack den. With the gnarly drapes that are falling off the hooks, and the messy red paint job, and the nauseating amount of glade deoderizing spray in the hallways, they have some nerve charging the amount that they do. And the mattress....the cement mattrress. Terrible. The front staff was lovely, though.

Not a place I would stay at again

I had no business being at this hotel. It was not for a woman who was by herself. I was very uncomfortable. I will be going to the area for the next four years, but not back to Red Roof.

Curtain was hanging off the wall, bright lights from outside shining in on first night. I climbed on chair to patch up the curtains, most of the plastic rings were broken, many pins missing, got it up there to block light just barely. The faucet handle fell off in the bathroom, got that back on just barely. The rear entry door only worked sometimes with your key, other times you had to walk around the whole building to get inside.

Everytime I walked into the room I got hit with a smell, I couldnt place it. It was like vanilla and flowers. I got an instant headache. The air in the room as a whole was very stale. I went out and bought lysol and febreeze to help with the smell

Used expedia for booking. THE GOOD: Checking in was FAST AND EAZY, it took 3 mins. Very nice and accommodating employees. THE BAD: $385 per night!! for a motel. Hotels/Motels take advantage of families moving in and out weeks when their kids in college. So dont book around aug and may. This was the cheapest within 20mile radius. Also NO HOT WATER!! apparently when guests uses it all at the same time hot water runs out.

It was awful! No hot water for two days. The last night because we complaint so much then they decided to switch us to hotel upfront. No assistance offered to move the items; phone not in working condition and we have to go back and forth through stairs since no one came to the room. I had a small child and it was horrible especially with all the rain.

Too expensive and old for what they offer. The back door, close to our room didn't work. Floor with a big whole near the bed, flooring sticky, disgusting, shower needs renovation. I won't come back.

Only one night so we endured but this facility is in desperate need of upgrade. Railing on stairs wobbly, bathroom dirty, curtains couldn’t close all the way, no toilet seat cover (what’s up with that, so unsanitary), hallway smelled bad, partial rug under beds was damp and sticky, couldn’t get extra pillows, and then there was a major fight in the hallway outside our room around 1am…good times, not!

The BEST part was the terrific water pressure in the shower. That was so invigorating in the morning! I would put a single serve coffee maker in the lobby instead of the open pot that has probably been sitting for hours.
