Aging facility and the bathrooms were very average... no hair dryer. Limited breakfast. Friendly staff to welcome you but you have to ring a bell to have someone come out and help you. That is a trend that needs to stop.

Overall room was clean except for the tub was dated so appeared dirty. Check in/out was a little awkward due to language barrier and staff member could not explain that receipt would come from Expedia. Good option if you need a reasonable room for night with easy highway access.

Our room was very newly renovated. It was also very clean! However, we were barely greeted upon arrival as the attendant was too busy on the computer watching videos. There was also next to no water coming out of the shower head, we had to switch the water to the tub faucet and do the best we could. When we told the morning attendant this, she said 'oh'.

Incredible good attention from the hotel staff, because the Expedia did a big mistake, I did a reservation for one room and 3 adults, and Expedia gave me one king bed room and didn’t fix this mistake after I called them. Though the hotel manager solve my problem even that the Expedia didn’t care about. Thanks so much Red Roof manager, appreciate your attention and support.
