The Great Stay

Red roof is usually where I book at and the only problem I have with it is finding something decent to watch on tv other than that I’m always grateful for the service and stay… but they can have some breakfast sometimes it would be great not to go to McDonald’s

I would give 0 if there was an option. The walls were dirty, the matress super lympy and something scratched my leg. The sheets were dirty. My husband and I left and went to stay at another place. I don't recommend staying at this particular Red Roof Inn Plus, it's horrible.

My dogs and I enjoyed a nice and quiet stay here for a weekend. The room was clean and tidy upon arrival and the hotel was very quiet. Lots of food and shopping in the immediate area and I was easily able to DoorDash a meal. My only minor complaint is my room did not get cleaned during my stay.
