Where should I start? Methheads all around the place with access to the back of the hotel property. The halls and elevator reeked of cigarette smoke, when there are multiple signs stating this is a 100% smoke free establishment. The shower was absolutely disgusting, the drain was clogged and there was a dead fly hanging on the top of the wall. We couldn’t use the coffee machine, microwave, or fridge due to bugs. The only visibly clean thing in that entire room were the fresh towels. The police came to arrest one of the methheads and found $2 worth of meth. There were multiple occasions where we had to either run to our room or sneak out just so that no one would see us, as everyone was sketchy. The only reason why I’m not giving one or zero stars is because the staff were very attentive and friendly. I thank God that our stay was only for 3 nights because if it were any longer I would have slept in our rental car.

The elevator was broken, the card reader for the side entrance was broken, the bathroom door wouldn't close, the hallways smelled like stale cigarette smoke, the shower was weak, my room key card stopped working once, and I ran over a syringe with my bike in the parking lot and now my front tire leaks.

Be careful if you decide to stay here.

Jada at the front desk was helpful but pretty much everything else about the hotel was bad. The hotel was so bad I opted to leave town early so I didn’t have to stay there anymore.

I was charged $3.20 on check-in as some kind of (I believe) key card deposit. I turned the cards in next morning. Charge is still on my current credit card bill. It's an OK place to stay for the price.

The lady that worked the front desk on Aug 7th around 1pm and the 8th around 10am was not friendly. I tried calling multiple times to see if I can do early check in as that is what the agent from Red Roof Inn said I could do. No one answered the phone. When I came in, she was talking through her AirPods with someone. She didn’t explain the policy and procedure, didn’t hand a receipt no nothing. Even when I asked for a receipt she said they would give it at check out but I didn’t receive anything. Even when we checked out she asked if we were checking out, to put the keys in the box. No, have a great day or how was your stay, nothing. I’d like to think she was having a bad day but I don’t know. The room was not up to par. It was okay since it was only for one night but rather disappointing since we paid over $100 for the night. There were stains on the floor that was either blood or just hair dye. The bath tub was stained, low water pressure, dusty and the fridge door was dirty. The beds were clean but the quality of the mattress was bad, you could feel the springs. Walls were very thin, I could hear conversations from the other rooms and I can hear when they turn their shower or sink on. It gets super loud when the water is turned on. Something is wrong with the elevator! The doors would open half way then close. They when you’re in the elevator, you’re stuck on one floor for a little then it opens. Very concerning…
