Awful hotel

Everything was very dirty. The sheets, the bedspreads, the towels. The bathtub had mold. Everything was filthy and neglected. The customer service was terrible, with a bad attitude and nothing friendly.

Below par!

I payed over one hundred dollars for a eoom that ac was not working, room phone didnt work, bad water damage on the roof to rhe point there were holes in the roof, pubic hair all over the bathroom. I am very unhappy with this particular location. Now if i paud 65 or 70 dollars for it i would understand some minor issues but to pay over 100 for ussues like this is inexcusable. I am contacting the higher ups to get a better understanding of why i paid for a higher end hotel and got one like this!

So glad we stayed at Red Roof Inn!

From the moment of our check-in, met at the counter by a real person though it was late in the evening, until we left the hotel, all staff and conditions were impressive.

Our stay was pretty good besides the people in the room next to us sounding like they were killing each other. The back door is broken so park on the side. Breakfast was very good and the best part of the stay!
