The girl at reception couldn’t understand us so it was a bit of a challenge to check in. The room was up a wobbly metal staircase which was difficult whilst carrying cases ect. The room itself was just ok. The door frame on the inside of the room was hanging off exposing nails, the wooden floor looked clean but was not which the socks I put in the bin can attest to. Would I stay again? No

There was needed some minor repairs meeded in the bathroom. Tub drain wouldn't close and cover around shower head. Also since we needed areas to potty dogs, the area around hotel needed mowing. Otherwise nice stay. Pleasant clerks.

You get what you pay for!
Overall, the room was fine. The bathroom walls were dirty, with dark smudges, possibly from people touching the walls. My biggest complaint was that there were no towels in the room. I had to go to the front desk after checking in to request towels. The towels i was provided were stained.

When i made reservations at the RED ROOF INN it was b/c i stayed there before - funny thing is this was not the Red Roof Inn I stayed at - THIS was Motel 6 which was right next door to the Red Roof Inn - the place was ok - our room was around the back and we didnt feel comfortable leaving our vehicle there. It was a shocker to pull up and it not be the Red Roof Inn as before. Personally i think this is somewhat shady to pull on customers.
