When i made reservations at the RED ROOF INN it was b/c i stayed there before - funny thing is this was not the Red Roof Inn I stayed at - THIS was Motel 6 which was right next door to the Red Roof Inn - the place was ok - our room was around the back and we didnt feel comfortable leaving our vehicle there. It was a shocker to pull up and it not be the Red Roof Inn as before. Personally i think this is somewhat shady to pull on customers.

Stayed in room 114, best thing in the room was the nice big TV. Spiderwebs in the bathroom, but other than that was perfect for my work trip.

The room was fine, check in was not. They wanted a cash deposit, which I got back at check out. Breakfast was good, better than what you usually get at this type of place.

Front desk women ignored us as we waited 10 minutes to check in, being the only guests in the lobby. Puddle of water from refrigeration going down under the bed in our room. She came in and used towels and left them saturating the water under the fridge. Lastly was told buiscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast. 6:30-8 am no biscuits or sausage

The mattress needs to be replaced. It was not comfortable and very old. The hallway, rugs carpet or all very dirty. Breakfast was nonexistent. It was a joke.

Staff very friendly, John the night auditor provided great customer service. This is one of my favorite places to stay, even though I get an employee discount for a major brand. This property is well maintained coming from someone who does building repair.

When we stay at a Red Roof we do not expect a lot of extras, this experience was no different. The hotel seemed run down and a little dirty. The staff was nice, but we probably would not stay there again.

It’s convenient but check in time is a minimum of 30 minutes every time we stay. Sometimes it takes an hour for an already made reservation to be processed.

Property was remodeled by incompetent workers. You can see mistakes and sloppy work everywhere. The price of the room was way too high for the quality of the room. Plus, they hold $100 extra while you are there which i believe to be unnecessary for such a low cost hotel.
