We stayed here for a travel softball tournament we were in , the reviews didn’t look bad , so we gave it a shot. The lady at the front desk when we were greeted on Friday night was not friendly at all , she was more interested in going outside to smoke a cigarette with a man.as we entered our room there was a hand print on the wall totally creeped us out , the bathroom was dirty floors were not clean , I moved a chair to find a weed grinder underneath it. On a positive note on check out Saturday the lady was nice. This was my first time staying at a red roof I probably will not stay at another

Kinda gross

The bathroom/shower tiles need the grout cleaned. There was black mold. Also the shower curtain was tattered and ripped, like someone fell and grabbed onto it and ripped it. We wore shower shoes..

This hotel is in despicable condition. I walked into my room and it was wet. The furniture was peeling because of moisture, as was the spackle on the ceiling. It smelled like mildew and the bed was literally wet. I went to the front desk and let staff know about my concerns. The employee seemed entirely unsurprised and agreed to switch my room. She moved my party and I to a room across the hall, which seemed better upon entering. We quickly realized, however, that this room was in a very similar condition. My throat literally started to itch. I went back up to the front desk and let the employee know that we’d just like to check out because the rooms were moldy. Again, she seemed entirely unsurprised- she just said “Well, I don’t know if I can give you a refund.” I was in this hotel for all of 30 minutes, but it took me 30 seconds to decide I’d not be staying there, and that nobody else should, either.
