Booked a two-room suite, to use the term loosely. Clean, and comfortable, but showing signs of age. Only "suite" I've been in that has two very old clunky TV's. Poor picture and no HD. King bed was comfortable. Staff very friendly.. Forgot they do not provide morning food, other than coffee. Micro fridge, small nuker, and ridiculous Hot Shot coffee... More

We have stayed at this location 3 times. As members of Red Roof's rewards program, we have stayed at many Red Roof locations in several states, and found this to be one of the best. Each time we stayed we found the room to be clean, comfortable and well appointed. Location is right off of I-75 and within walking distance... More

I booked with this hotel because I was late to make reservations and this was the only hotel available and the reviews were not that bad. The room smelled old, the bathroom dirty and the sofabed was the most uncomfortable of all I have used. It looked old. Not a pleasant stay. More

If you're just looking for a cheap place to crash, this will work. Don't expect much from the staff. I was told to go get extra towels myself. Same went for an iron, as there are not irons in the room. When asking about a charge on the bill, I was told "I would explain that in detail, but I... More
