It was a decent place, definitely needs some repairs here and there. Overall was pretty clean. No Bugs anywhere we could see. Pool was a lot of fun for the kids but there was a weight limit for the slide area so it was mostly for the kids and our room was chillier than we liked but we couldn't raise the temp any more. The breakfast was great, with waffle stations and biscuits and gravy or you can make sausage egg biscuit sandwiches a pretty good size variety but not much seating. Overall a great stay.

I loved my stay here. My 2 boys play Pokemon across the street at CM Games and I didn’t want to drive home late. I got a double room at a single room price (as per “nicer” hotels). As other reviews state, it’s a little worse for wear but for the price it’s exactly what I expected. If you want the Ritz Carlton for Red Roof prices, you’ll be disappointed. But if you expect to get what you pay for, you’ll won’t be disappointed.

The front desk was very helpful. He was friendly and more then happy to bring down more towels when they were needed. The maintenance man on nights was super helpful with the hot water and come to find out the water heater had shut off and he promptly went to turn it back on. The only thing I don't really agree with is that you are charged $20 per night for your dog. However everything else was nice.

I have to say for a discount hotel,the sheets were clean and no roaches. The only real problem i had was the fact they have an indoor pool and waterslide,both sitting empty.Why not use it?

I can't speak for other rooms, but 104 is good. For the price, I was really surprised. The decor was great. Nice colors and it was welcoming. Bed looked nice and the shower was clean. I travel for work and always review every hotel I stay in. The only changes I would immediately make are: replace the decorative bed topper (it has obvious burn holes in it), add some type of mechanism that makes the air smell more fresh (it smells like old pool water) and replace the lamp in the room (the lamp shade and plug port are bad). Those aren't major things at all and can be resolved before he next person comes in this room! Definitely would stay here again. Just make sure your cleaning staff understand the expectations! If bedding is damaged, replace it. If anything else is defective, management needs to know immediately.

Of course critical and negative reviews will flood in to Google . I am here to say this hotel is a nice hotel that possibly is in the mist of remodeling. The owners are friendly and treat the customers better than most hotels do these days. I like the location , the people , and I feel safe here. It's clean and quiet and decently affordable. It's a shame so many people complain. At least they still are doing their best to run a business in today's " Karen " world. Peace and love

After reading the reviews, I was very nervous about staying at this hotel. Honestly, I was quite surprised to see a normal hotel room when I walked in. The room was nice, smelled good, and very clean. No bugs, nor stains on the sheets. The place was very quiet, and I felt safe staying here with just myself and my dog. The staff was very sweet and very accommodating for my dog. The bed was honestly the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in a hotel. Is this a 5 star hotel that’s seen better days, no, but for the price it was a perfect spot to settle in for the night and get some much needed rest. I would definitely come back over and over again every time I needed a safe spot to sleep.
