Cozy rooms
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.

There was needed some minor repairs meeded in the bathroom. Tub drain wouldn't close and cover around shower head. Also since we needed areas to potty dogs, the area around hotel needed mowing. Otherwise nice stay. Pleasant clerks.

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.

Would stay there again
Check in was a little slow, but he was a new employee still in training. The room was very nice and the bed was very comfortable. I definitely would stay there again
The staff is friendly and the beds are very comfortable. The only set back was the hotel smelled like a old folks home which is a real turn off.

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.
