Filthy and decrepit building. Never saw a room because I wouldn't stay in a place this run down. I recommend bulldozing it and building a new facility - really.

Winner- Worst Hotel Ever
Do not stay here, ever. We were given room 144. I didn’t have high expectations, but this room was just terrible. Wet carpet, smelled of mold, not cleaned from last stay, walls and shower in disrepair. Fixtures rusted, curtains had holes in them, bed was just uncomfortable. Shower was so dirty and had water damage on the wall above it. Quite literally the worst room I’ve ever stayed in. Locals later told me this part of town is where they house migrants and homeless. Makes sense looking back. The owner refused a refund initially but gave only half after pushback. Really just a terrible experience overall. There’s better out there. Skip this place.

Room not cleaned, no toilet paper, no towels, front desk rufe. Called expedia to try to fix issue and front desk lied to them saying they would send housekeeping when they told me they don't provide housekeeping. Room is disgusting, hotel is essentially a construction zone with hazards in parking lot. Supposed to be pretty friendly but don't feel it is safe to walk dog and there is no where to go. I've stayed at red roof for years and they are always basic but good quality. Not this one. Awful.. Avoid!

I wanted a refund immediately and a refused. Reserved king and got two full. Room not clean, gum on the wall, mattress stained, just run down. Moved to a king but was a handicap room. Bug on the floor, worn out pillows, tv wasn’t user friendly. Just awful
