The lady that worked the front desk on Aug 7th around 1pm and the 8th around 10am was not friendly. I tried calling multiple times to see if I can do early check in as that is what the agent from Red Roof Inn said I could do. No one answered the phone. When I came in, she was talking through her AirPods with someone. She didn’t explain the policy and procedure, didn’t hand a receipt no nothing. Even when I asked for a receipt she said they would give it at check out but I didn’t receive anything. Even when we checked out she asked if we were checking out, to put the keys in the box. No, have a great day or how was your stay, nothing. I’d like to think she was having a bad day but I don’t know. The room was not up to par. It was okay since it was only for one night but rather disappointing since we paid over $100 for the night. There were stains on the floor that was either blood or just hair dye. The bath tub was stained, low water pressure, dusty and the fridge door was dirty. The beds were clean but the quality of the mattress was bad, you could feel the springs. Walls were very thin, I could hear conversations from the other rooms and I can hear when they turn their shower or sink on. It gets super loud when the water is turned on. Something is wrong with the elevator! The doors would open half way then close. They when you’re in the elevator, you’re stuck on one floor for a little then it opens. Very concerning…

My room was supposed to be upgraded and have snacks but there were none, but the reception guy was very helpful and seems to have fixed this. I was just worried if we got upgraded bedding too, because that was my priority. The bathroom was not cleaned well though, I could see a lot of hair on the corners of the floor which is pretty gross. Didn’t really investigate much, but the rate wasn’t high so I guess you get what you pay for

The elevator was out. Had to climb 3 flights of stairs to our room. Stairwell doors were propped open which I am pretty certain is against fire code. Also, the stairwell was filthy with stained walls, railings, and stair treads. The room was fine and comfortable.
