Guest Reviews
- Alexander (8/5): -
- Anthony (4/5): Unpleasant - I like that the Hotel had a clean bed with an above average looking room. What I didnt like is that the first room I was in had a hot tub that didn’t work.i was offered a second room where the hot tub did work. However when trying to lay down and sleep. These rattling noises kept coming from the room so the desk clerk offered me back my original room. I accepted but then the same type of noises were coming from the other room. I then notified the clerk about it and he would not give a room of lesser value. I then asked for a refund and he refused.. told me I had to contact the booking agency.. by then I decided to go to a different hotel and was forced to pay my booking price at the hotel I booked without being able to sleep there. I thought the rooms were Haunted.
- Kevin (8/5): -
- Danielle (8/5): -
- Tony (8/5): Great value - Very clean, bed was comfortable and great location for easy access to food or other needs. Right off the interstate. Great value for the money. Some wear on the floor, bathtub needs refinished, but just being picky.
- Holli (7/5): - Affordable The room had a lot of wear/tear in it.
- Joe A (6/5): -
- Leah (9/5): -
- Reed (6/5): It was fine standard hotel clean - Location
- Courtney (8/5): -
- Bohdanna (1/5): - I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. The room was not clean at all — there was visible dirt in the corners, dust, and an overall feeling of poor hygiene. To make matters worse, I even saw cockroaches in the room, which is completely unacceptable. It made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe staying there. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone until they seriously improve their cleanliness and pest control.
- Kiovsky (8/5): -
- Crystal (10/5): -
- Biily (1/5): - Nothing
- Jerry wash (7/5): -
- Selena (8/5): Pet friendly and great price for families - It’s conveniently located, safe, and a great value. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Your pets stay FOR free. There is hot breakfast every morning. The beds aren’t super comfortable & you should wear socks in the room to avoid grocery store feet.
- dionne (8/5): - Everything Nothing was wrong
- Cynthia (7/5): Everything fine except for the uncomfortable beds. - Did not eat breakfast The queen beds were very uncomfortable
- BOBBY (9/5): The stay met our expectations. The room was a little smaller than expected. - Did not eat the breakfast N/A

- Lisa (3/5): - Convenient on my drive Dirty, broken sink, small jacuzzi tub
- Ralph (3/5): - Location The bed sheets were disguising
- Michael (1/5): -
- Patrice (6/5): It was ok but not worth the money - The room was nice but it was some noise in the room that kept us up all night. That Saturday breakfast was excellent but the front desk attendant stopped putting out any breakfast at 830
- Brian (3/5): Terrible. Entire family was grossed out. Both rooms were bad. - Close to I65 Dirty, stained blankets and sheets, broken bathroom light, what looked like blood stain on wall. Full garbage cans in stairway. Breakfast was instant eggs and gravy.. watered down. Hair dryer in room didn't work. Dirty towel left on back of bathroom door from previous tenant.
- Holly (1/5): I’d actually like a refund of my nights stay- the room was dirty: drip stains on walls, nail polish spilled and hardened - The location It was so dirty.
- Amber (3/5): After we got put in a different room, it was ok - Front desk staff was very helpful and fixed any problems Beds did not have clean sheets on them. We rented 3 rooms, and all were dirty! Hair in showers, dirty sheets.
- Holli (7/5): -
- Steve (9/5): -
- Joe (10/5): - Clean and comfortable The breakfast could have been better
- Taylor (7/5): - Rooms were updated and plenty of parking. Also a lot of food options nearby. The cleanliness wasn’t the best. The bathtub had yellow liquid, what i assume to be urine, on the outside of the tub. Also hair on the shower walls. I didn’t realize it was a pet friendly hotel, which really wasn’t an issue, however when then a/c turned on in the night it had a strong animal urine odor that filled the room.

- Dane (10/5): We enjoyed the stay and the room was better than expected. - Traveling we found the price of the room to be a great value. The room was super clean and well appointed. It had a table and chairs for breakfast and that was important....things we found that other hoteliers missed. Sadly we didn't have another Red Roof on our trip west to Arizona.. This issue was my fault, but using Booking.com I got the date wrong for our only night stay so that money was lost Other than this we loved our stay and the room was GREAT.
- Kimmie (10/5): - The room fit our needs NA
- Carol (6/5): Clean, noisy, no ice or breakfast despite ad - It was close to restaurants but was noisy as it was by the highway Advertised breakfast even on the map at the counter. Said they only had granola bars and at 6:30 am there was only coffee. Didn’t seem to have an ice machine.

- Dehone (10/5): -
- Debora (4/5): - Staff were great. Location was great. Very convenient. Rooms need much upgrading. It had everything listed but there was peeling paint and water damage. Room smells of mold and dampness. Pipes in wall made noises intermittently all day and all night.

- Aucoin (8/5): -

- Eddie (10/5): -
- Derek (8/5): -
- Chermonta (8/5): - They actually had breakfast that was good. Some places I've stayed advertised breakfast, but only have bagels/bread of some sort, and coffee. The waffle maker is always my favorite. The eggs could have been better. You can tell they were not fresh. Tasted just like water.
Also morning of checkout housekeeping came and knocked on my door loudly a little over an hour before checkout time. (I suppose to wake me up) Definitely was not pleased with that.....
- James (2/5): Terrible stay at the red roof - The front desk not friendly, the room was dirty, the breakfast area had a gas smell ( the front desk person didnt seem to care). The pool was closed down.
- Tabbatha (5/5): Would come again if it was cleaned better - The location was great. Price was great. People were friendly. It was dirty almost every in the room under the covers of the bed to the bathtub there was a used toothbrush left at our sink. Had a strange smell and looked like a few of the walls were moldy . Due to all this sleeping was kind of uncomfortable I felt time I had things crawling on me
- World (3/5): Take air deodorizer with you - The Smell/Odor in the room.
Sink barely...barely...would drain.
Toilet seat extremely loose.
Floor was dirty, so much so, my barefeet were blackened by taking maybe 30 steps.
No Tissues.
- Roseann (10/5): - The beds are so comfortable and quiet.
- Taliyah (10/5): -
- Dewayne (10/5): - Love it the swimming and the stay comfortable
- Nathan (8/5): - Quick and easy to check in. Room was clean and well kept.
- Kristin (10/5): - The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. I love the tile floor instead of carpet. Pet friendly! The staff was very friendly! I would stay again.
- Joanne (7/5): - The bathroom shower grab bar was missing.
- Jarrod (9/5): -
- Jayvian (10/5): -
- Patsy (6/5): - Came here last 5 plus years and always booked two rooms with elderly mom on the way to Florida. Our tv went out, worker came to the room, offered to move us, we can’t when my mom is in the other room, she was sound asleep at 930. Nope, I already booked at Best western next year cause nobody called me to make this right! I should get a kick back for being great customers!
- Sandra (9/5): - It was very clean had everything I needed in the room and the staff was very helpful There was nothing
- Siemon (8/5): A good deal for an economy hotel. Clean, nice folks, good location to highway. - convenient, clean, very nice for a bargain hotel. Kind staff, breakfast was good- included scrambled eggs, which as a non-meat, non-wheat eater was good for me. We didn't get there in time to use the pool but it looked nice. We were just in transit between Lansing, MI and Tallahassee, FL and it definitely met our needs.
- Tina (10/5): I would stay again. - Nice pool, clean room and property, nice staff. Great value and location.
- Katina (10/5): Exceptional -
