Room was clean and was conveniently located for a cross-country drive. I stay at this Red Roof and the one in Erie PA on my drives two or three times a year and they’re consistently clean with friendly staff and very welcoming of dogs… no extra fee is greatly appreciated when you have a sweet easy going dog who causes no harm!

The towels in the bathroom looked like someone had cleaned an engine with them and they were stained. The bed cover was dirty. I was there on a family emergency and just did not want to have to deal with the staff on the room. I would not recommend this hotel to family or friends.
