There was damage in the room. When I checked in, there was a mandatory, refundable $50 deposit that wasn’t disclosed on hotels.com. The room also did not come standard with a microwave and fridge.

We typically LOVE Red Roof Inns ever since they remodeled and updated them. Everything was great until we sat on the beds and practically sank. We both had a very uncomfortable sleep. Pillows were like pancakes and the mattresses were the worst I've ever slept on at a hotel. I hope they replace the mattresses and pillows soon for future guests. Other than that, it was a nice stay.

The bed was squeezing, mattresse was thin, the TV guide on the mounted TV didn't work, the hot water in the shower didn't get hot, the drain on the sink was slow to drain, had to pay extra for a microwave and small refrigerator which should be standard with ANY hotel room.

Bldg smelt cloyingly of incense. Room smelt of wet dog. Pillows were so flat there might as well have been none. Bed was so hard it caused back aches. It was also very creaky anytime anyone moved it woke me, as a light sleeper, up every time. Things were clean, just very old with wear and tear. Shower faucet not secure to wall. Light switch in bathroom also loose.. We were so miserable we left after 2 nights. Would have left after 1, but it was already very late the second day.

It was supposed to be a non-smoking section of the hotel but you can definitely smell the Marijuana and all other sorts of smell from the hallway to the elevator. On our hallway at the 3rd floor, it smelled like a dead rat for the entire stretch until we got to our room. Our room was clean but then when we got on the bed - it just creaked and the bed was rough on the springs already - needs to be replaced.
