My family and I chose this hotel because it's across the street from the fairgrounds where the horror con was being hosted. The receptionist that we dealt with were friendly and so where the other guests whenever we came into contact with them. We all loved that it was a non-smoking hotel. While staying at this hotel, we came to discover that there was a Wawa within walking distance.

I have never written a bad review ever, Maybe a small complaint but never a bad review. Here we go. Booked on expedia from parking lot, ok rate for the area, went in to check in and guy was rude right off, upon review i had booked for the following Thuesday, not the tuesday we were actually there, no big deal my fault, He had rooms so offered me one at $111, i looked on my phone and I could book for $89 all in on expedia, he refused to give me the expedia rate at the desk, I said ok, we'll be right back, I'll go book it from my car and be right back. He said "no, if you come back I'll refuse you a room because your rude"? me, being rude,, I paid the 111 as it was 10 pm and did not want to drive next door, price would have been $110 there so we just paid it at the red roof. So The date of the stay on this review we did not use, because it was a mistake booking, but we did stay and paid with a cc direct the tuesday before this stay,, called red roof, called expedia, they will not help as it was non- refundable even though they would have had plenty of time to re-book the room, and we had used red roof for a stay , so if your booking expedia, double check your dates, do not make the same stupid one I did. but the red roof location is seedy, looks like alot of goverment paid rooms are there if you know what i mean. staff rude in am on checkout as well, never ever stay there again. I travel alot, and have been using red roof less and less as im finding they are not keeping up

Not worth $100/night…Maybe $40

Mold on the shower curtain and the floor was filthy. The bed was okay but there were stains on the sheets. The towels were small and cheap. I’d come back if needed but only as last resort.

You decide...The site wouldn't let me upload pics.

When we were checking in customers were arguing with the manager.They were arguing that the housekeeping was insolent and barged in their room without knocking before 11am (they were in the process of dressing). The manager was very insolent and glib. We checked in and the room we were given didn't look like it had been cleaned from the previous occupants. The bathroom floor was very dirty, and the room looked very unkempt. We only had 1 set of towels for the 2 of us. The toilet and the sink in the room was clean. It didnt have a fridge and when i inquired about it, the manager said he'd send someone to give us one. We stayed there 2 days and never got one. Also, the TV wouldn't operate more often than not. When we checked out, the lady manager on duty was a vast improvement on the previous manager. I've stayed here before and it's like a 360° change...and not for the better. There was a party or something the first night, and the people were up very late or early morning (however you want to call it). They were loud and boisterous. They also charge $25 per night for something that's not advertised (I forgot what it was for). So, if you want inexpensive, this could be it. But, we didn't feel safe or secure. Your choice.

I’ve travelled for work and leisure extensively for several decades. This was by far the worst hotel experience of my entire life. Quick summary: -Key didn’t work upon arrival -Maintenance spent 5 hours trying to fix the lock the following day before giving up and just walking away without telling me anything, leaving my door wide open with lock in shambles on the ground -Finally decided to transfer me to a different room -get into new room to find sticky floor, blood stains on pillowcases, what appeared to be feces on center of chair, cockroaches, urine and pubic hair on toilet seat, yellow stained towels -key would work 1 time when they first programmed, then would immediately not function- had to go to front office to get new key every single day for 6 days -employees were rude and dismissive when told about issues -sketchy and loud characters roaming the parking lot day and night -2nd room flooded in middle of night from unknown leak coming from inside the walls, covered my belongings in disgusting dirty motel floor water, had to change rooms at 1am while I was in the middle of sleeping -staff did not care/apologize for any of this
