not a real value

by msjay2u2 at Citysearch

I have to disagree with the previous rating. I thought this hotel was pretty to look at BUT the employees mixed up my bill with another room and they never got it straight. I had to dispute and my credit card co had to fix. I thought there were a lot of low class type people hanging around, smelled illegal smoking odors coming from the room next door, and overall I did not feel it was worth the price I paid. This service would not let me use the appropiate word for the illegal odor. LOL

• Pros: pretty inside the room
• Cons: no breakfast, illegal odors, people hanging around, suspicious activities

The hotel's quirky little mascot--a bobble head named Red--stands for all the comforts of home at a budget-friendly price.

Great Place to Stay!

We stayed at the Red Roof Inn and paid $54.00. We've stayed at a lot of different hotels for this price and we were so discussed how fithly they were. But this Red Roof was great from beginning to end. First of all, we couldn't find the hotel and ended up at a different one. The called the other hotel, cancelled our reservation, gave us a room at the internet rate, which ended up even being cheaper and we were able to bring our dog for free. The room was clean, clean, clean. The staff were VERY friendly and helpful. It was a great experience from beginning to end and would we not hesitate to stay there again.
