Not great, not terrible. Well, maybe on the way to terrible. The room seemed clean, but its condition was not the best. There was staining and bubbling on the bathroom door, and chargers if bathroom appeared dirty. An ironing board on the wall was also heavily stained. Oh, and a carpet next to the bed smelled like dirty feet. I was visited by a cockroach while sitting at the desk in the room. Window only had one covering, the heavy light-blocking curtain. So you could not get daylight in the room without opening your window to the parking lot. The above-bed lights were bright flouerescent. Staff was friendly. No fruit/fresh items at breakfast.

The room was excellent! The elevators floors were gross and a caution sign hanging on the wall rails. The front desk staff was excellent, however, the cleaning stuff was not friendly and used elevators in front of guest. For adding the PLUS, did not make it upgrade from Red Roof.

Everything was nice, except the fact that the floors kept a constant condensation on them so when I dry them up with a towel, they were filthy. The towel. Just got so dirty from cleaning up the condensation on the floor. It just really grossed us out.
