This was hands down the worse hotel experience I have ever had in my life. Disgusting
Pros:

Absolutely nothing was good or redeemable about this hotel.

Cons:

Disgusting. Reeked of smoke throughout the whole hotel. I had 1 pillow. Dirtiest hotel I have ever had to stay in. AC was on but did nothing. So I spent the night awake sweating.

Pros:

There was not anything at all that I would say that I was happy about or that I liked

Cons:

The sheets were staying. I called the front desk. The front desk person was extremely rude and nasty to me. They did not offer any new sheets. They offered to move rooms to even dirtier room

Red Roof Plus is a Red Roof Negative for sure.
Pros:

The location is very nice.

Cons:

The whole place smells of weed and the staff did nothing about it. When we asked for clean towels they said the only option was “clean” but they were stained, so we had to buy new towels.

Old and dirty. I would not recommend it.
Pros:

Nothing. The hotel is in a very bad shape. We have left after 2 nights out of 4 paid.

Cons:

I would not advise on going to this hotel the ~6 review note is correct.

- The whole is old, not maintained and very dirty.
- The bed linens were dirty and ripped
- The air conditioning was smelly
- The walls, doors and equipment seems like they were never cleaned
- Safe was rusted

Pros:

Ther room was dirty, roaches, and the toilet ran all night.

Cons:

I was double charged. Reached out and no resolution. The person on night audit name "Ray" said she would make the manager's name "Bill Harvin". No one followed up or called.
