Booked with Expedia which was simple and affordable I get to the red roof inn and was told they didn’t have my room that I had booked 7 days prior and he said he couldn’t help me at all and he couldn’t have cared less. It’s a sketchy area with homeless camps

Everything was great except when we went for dinner, 3 of the entrees we ordered were not available. We wanted steak, prime rib & filets and appetizers were not available. Your menu should be revised.

Two towels per room since it was a room with two beds. When asked for two additional towels, the girl in the front said “no.” My daughter called and threatened to leave a bad review, then the girl said we could pick only one towel.

Good Value with new Big Screen TV

This was one of a number of multiple day business trips where I have chosen to stay here. The bed is very comfortable. On this stay the property had many empty rooms so it was nice and quiet. The surrounding area is a bit seedy, and food options within walking distance are quite limited. My only criticism of the room is that the bathtub/shower was a bit funky.

A little unhappy

There was no coffee due to the coffee pot was broken, not sure if we had hot water as i took a shower and it was cold, told the front desk and they said boiler was out, there was a lot of homeless sleeping around the rooms that were empty, didnt feel all that safe, tv would shut off every couple hours would have to turn it back on.
