The room was so dirty. It had blood on the wall, hand towels, comforter and floor were all dirty. The shower had someone's hair hanging off the shower head. The vents and toilet paper holder were all smashed in. We ended up checking out early but was told we couldn't get refunded for the day we didn't stay because we booked through a third party. We were not happy at all.

Refusal to Cancel Booking for wrong date
We didn’t get to stay here. When booking, I accidentally clicked on Friday Oct 11 instead of Oct 4 when we were heading south for vacation. We thought it would be a good halfway stop for the family. I was lucky and only booked 1 of the 2 rooms I needed. Within 1 minute, I realized my mistake and messaged the hotel. No reply. The next morning I called the hotel and they said it was non refundable. I said that is fine but if they would cancel the room that I would actually book 2 rooms for my family of 6. They said the manager would have to do it. I then sent customer service through hotels.com a message to help. They had no success. Finally I called the hotel and explained the situation again. I tried diligently to explain that I actually needed 2 rooms for Oct 4 and all they had to do was cancel the reservation that I accidentally made for Oct 11. They refused and actually lost out on business. They can have the 1 night rate that I paid through hotels.com but I encourage everyone to pass on booking at this hotel as they are greedy people that don’t understand customer service and business. I hope all of you read this review.
The room had no sheets or pillows to make the fold out couch. The sheets and comforter on king bed had dried blood. Pieces of grass between sheets. Dried blood on floor
Room floor was filthy. Asked specifically for floor to be cleaned to no avail. Laundry facility was so dirty and cluttered with trash it wasn’t useable.
Trash and garbage jammed in overflowing can under the stairways.
We left a day before our reservation ended. After complaining to the property they told me they wouldn’t issue a refund for the unused portion of our stay because we made the reservation through Expedia. Will never use Red Roof Inn again. Will never use Expedia again.
Pet friendly materials used in construction. Staff was polite and courteous but bound by a strict interpretation of rules which led them to have to constantly check with a manager to perform basic duties. Rooms in need of repair for peeling paint, noisy pipes, and shoddy grout work.
Overall the stay was quiet and the staff did as much as they were permitted to do. The complimentary breakfast was a pleasant surprise!
Room was OK. Not very clean. Legs on desk chair and the back of the wall TV were thick with dust & dirt. Cob Webs on wall next to fridge. Room & Bath Room could due with a good deep clean.
The reason I give it a low score is the noisy air conditioner. It was incredibly loud like a dying turkey

I swear we did the fingernail test on a big mirror on the wall in the room. According to Google, if theres no gap, its a 2 way mirror. Come to find out, room 105 is side by side to a laundry room. Very sketchy when I see the laundry room and then 3 men who clean the rooms, shut the door so we couldn't see in there. VERY SKETCHY!
A cockroach fell out of shower curtain when I went to move it while getting in the shower. The gritty floor turned my wife’s feet and white shoes black.
