Nice hotel, and for a price of less than $50 in the Madison, it was a steal. Nice rooms, decent beds, nice desk setup which was good for doing business work. Bathroom setup was also good. Room was clean.
But this is one of those hotels that tries to get an extra $1.50 out of you for a safe fee. Sure you can have it canceled when you check out, but how many people do this? It is one of those scams that gives hotels a bad name.
I knew something was up when I checked into my room with the kids. There were four 20s aged women hanging out in the room next to ours. Two were smoking. Later, two guys in a tinted window Caddy show up. Apparently this was a staging area for a prostitution ring. While the kids were sleeping, around midnight, the two guys had a 5 minute conversation that everyone nearby could hear. The one guy was telling the other "ho, ho ,ho, what ya do with all those hoes."
Thankfully they didn't wake up early in the morning and make a bunch of noise. Instead, we had two motorcycle owners with no mufflers on their bikes who woke up everyone in the whole place at 7am with revving up their engines.
Front desk staff was quick and courteous for both check-in and check-out.
If Christmas in August isn't an issue, and you remember the safe fee, the place certainly was worth the price.

Thank you for your comments regarding your stay with us in August. We appreciate hearing from our guests on how we are doing.
I am please to hear your room was clean and a good value. We strive to give each guest a great room at a great price. I am sorry you had to deal with the noise from the other rooms and the car that was making comments at them. We try to keep all guests noises at a minimum and will share these comments with our staff so they can be handled when happening. I am sorry for their comments which does give a bad impression. Had I known this we would have asked the driver of the car to leave the property.
I hope this will not change your mind about staying with us at the Red Roof when traveling in the Madison area. Again thank you for your comments.
Sincerely,
Steve Marsceau
General Manager
