“Great All Around Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2011

My husband and I were making our annual trip back from Florida to Canada when we decided to cut our first days travel short. We wanted a good clean hotel with a good breakfast. This hotel was everything we expected and more. We had a nice clean room waiting for us, as well as a warm hot breakfast for our long trip back to Ontario. For $45 this hotel was superb, and well maintained. I would recommend you stay at this hotel if your looking for a good clean, cheap and comfy place to stay!!

“Dirty, Old, and Harassed by Management.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2011

We stayed for 3 nights, two adults and one baby. We have nothing good to say about this hotel. It may be low priced, but still isn't worth it. Our complaints:
-WE WERE HARASSED BY MANAGEMENT 4 TIMES ABOUT CHECK OUT TIME. NORMAL CHECK OUT IS AT 11 AND ON SUNDAY MORNING AT 10AM WE ASKED FOR A CHECK OUT TIME OF NOON BECAUSE THE BABY WAS STILL NAPPING AND NEEDED TO BE FED ONCE HE WOKE UP. THEY RESPONDED WITH 11:15 AT THE LATEST, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS, AND WITH THAT WE STARTED BEING HARASSED AT 11:11AM. THE FRONT DESK CALLED TWICE WITHIN 10MINUTES ASKING IF WE WERE GONE YET, AND SENT SOMEONE TO OUR DOOR TWICE IN THE SAME TIME FRAME.
-Charged more than reservation confirmation ($9.00 more per night, management did fix this 4 hours after check in and having to visit the office three times.
-Non-Smoking room smelled like it had been smoked in
-Towels of terrible quality and the staff would only give us two at a time in exchange for our dirty ones. We needed more, as we were traveling with baby and needed to wash bottles etc.
-Remote Batteries were dead, and when we called and asked for replacements, they wanted to inspect the remote and change the batteries themselves as if we were going to steal the batteries and use them for something else
-Temperature outside was 35 degrees and with the heat on high the room would not get warm and management told us to shut the bathroom door to keep the heat from escaping. Once we closed the bathroom door, the room did get warm, but too warm. There was no thermostat, so we had to get up several times in the night to turn it off and on to keep the room from getting too hot or too cold.
-The maid ran up and down the hall in the early morning from room to room while cleaning. This is old property and you can hear everything outside the walls. We were awakened by this every morning and it would last for hours.
-Poor continental breakfast. Choice of only: plain bagel, white toast, 2 types of dry cereal, and waffles. There was no oatmeal, fruit, pastries, doughnuts, or other bread/bagel selections.

“Yuck!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2010

I've stayed at other Red Roof locations and appreciate a basic hotel for a low price. But this location was filthy! My husband and I walked across the floor in our bare feet, then looked down and realized the filthy carpet had left them black. The carpet is a dark blue, so it hides the dirt well. The front desk clerk bragged upon our check in that the hotel was recently renovated. Really? The carpet was filthy, there was paint peeling over the door, and the lamp shades were torn and stained. A huge disappointment!

“really good hotel with a great price and great employees.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2010

For $42 a night i did not expect much. I was really surprised, the hotel was clean and well maintained. The only drawback was the substandard pillows, and they only leave 2 towels in the bathroom, you can get more from the front desk though. The clerk at check in was what made this hotel stand above the rest. I think his name was Brian. If all hotels had someone like him working there they would be 100% better. the location was great also, right beside an applebees. The pool was out of season but looked to be nice. It did have an 8ft deep end which you don't find much, they usually stop at 5ft. We take a trip to knoxville once a year for dance competition, I think we have found our new hotel to stay at for each visit.

“Great Place to stay for the price you pay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2010

This is a great hotel for the price you pay. It is Pet Friendly with no extra charge. The rooms are large and clean. Lots of parking and you are within walking distance of restaurants. You have 2 Gas stations on corner so you can gas up before you get back on the road. Breakfast is basic, coffee, waffles, toast, bagels, jam and cereal but it fills the spot and its free. The staff are friendly and efficient. If you are looking for a place to stay for a night or two this will fill all your needs. Easy access to and from the I 75.
