The absolute STENCH permeating this hotel is atrocious. It smells like vomit and waste - and it is SO bad that it has permeated my luggage on the drive home. I feel physically nauseous. Further, this location is a hub of nighttime arguments and “making up” afterwards. This was categorically the worst experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. I will never stay at a Red Roof again as long as I live.

The staff and room were appalling. I waited 30 minutes at front desk to even begin check in before a front desk representative arrived. The room was filthy and the floors never seem to have been cleaned. The shower only spit ot cold water in the morning while trying to prepare myself for work. Dreadful bathroom it was basically falling apart.

The stay was absolutely amazing. 5 stars, my wife and I enjoyed a comfortable clean room. Plenty of parking, near our destinations we needed to travel to. Late at night while smoking, felt safe. Breakfast is also included in the morning and access to ice and a gym. I would recommend this place
