Horrible! First the property shook me down for another $50.00 AFTER I had it paid for on Expedia. (Call me, I'll give you the details). The hotel had homeless people walking around it. The doorknob literally fell off from the inside of the door, I repaired it the best I could so we could exit quickly in an emergency. At night there was a strange noise coming from inside the wall in front of the bed. We couldn't decide if something was walking around in the wall or if it was something else. Nothing would have surprised me. STAY HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

This facility had a very good rating on your website but was to me the bare minimum for a hotel in today's market.

My bed had bugs, there was no light at the sink, hair dryer not working and the smell of the room. I always bring an air freshner which I seldom use and I use it that night and morning. The people working there were nice. They move us to a different room the next day. Better but the toilet flush was not working but they did fix it. It was just an inconvenience for a short stay. I am not expecting to be a 5 star. Just need a place to sleep without hassle.
Appeared old but clean at first. Discovered poor flooring in bathrom was from moisture from unknown source, ceiling tile loose, heat/ac unit not working, afraid to use.
Definitely not the pictures shown online . Beds adequate. Made the best of it because we were tired , would not recommend.
There was a man with a sign begging in the dark at 11pm at night on the corner where you turn in to the property. Rooms are outside access. I was traveling alone. The room had a horrible smell that had been masked (without success) by air freshener.
This hotel is rundown and needs a lot of work. Our shower did work very well because only about half the water was transferred to the showerhead when we pulled the water outlet switch. The room was also not as clean as we would expect and we found a couple of dead bugs in the bathroom and sink.
Could use some updates, dead bolt would not work, toilet wasn't flushed drinks from previous guest left in the refrigerator, towels were stained and there where bugs crawling around. will not ever return to stay
I was told if i wanted hot water to start. Then i was given the key go and inspect the room. We went smelled bad the ceiling tile missing, just bad. Aftet calling a few places eveything was booked due to parent week for ISU. We had to suck it up and stay just to sleep a few hours. Will never stay at any red roof locations.
Bad experience! No hot water, ice machine broken, toilet was wobbly. Asked 3 times for a few extra pillows, for my bad back. Never got them, ended up sleeping in my van for half the night. We won’t be back!
