Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Red Roof was very affordable and about what I expected for the rate. The bathroom was the biggest issue - the shower head was so low I had to squat down to use it, the towels were very thin and threadbare, water easily leaked out of the shower while in use, no shampoo or conditioner (just soap), no hand towels (just bath towels and wash clothes). Also, the fridge in the room made this ticking noise non-stop. The front desk staff who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. Beds were very comfortable.
