Nice place. Clean, tidy, typical expectations. Staff was friendly. The continental breakfast was lacking, but that wasn't a big deal for us.

Red Roof had a computer glitch that affected my reservation, so they had to go through hoops to verify that I did have one. It was resolved, but took about 30 minutes. After that everything was great !

I stayed a week there from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve. The hotel is located near restaurants which was very helpful being that my husband was at work during the day.
