“A good place for a traveller passing through”

I stayed here just for one night after an event I was in town for. I was curious what the condition of a hotel at this price point would look like. The lobby left a good first impression.

I stayed here just for one night after an event I was in town for. I was curious what the condition of a hotel at this price point would look like. The lobby left a good first impression. The lobby was clean and looked up to date and the gentleman working there was pleasant to deal with. The rooms are motel style with doors opening to the outside. I thoroughly checked the room and bed for cleanliness. In the non smoking room I was assigned I didn't see any signs of bed bugs. The bedding was clean and pillows were in good enough condition. And the television was nice and had a good selection of channels. The criticisms I have were some of the things in the room were not in the best condition. The bath mat was very worn out in the bathroom. The towels were a little old. The finishing of the paint and what not was not the best either. A little thrown together looking. Those types of things can be excused for the price, but to me the towels and bathmats should be replaced more often as I feel that is a sanitation thing. The location is convenient. Close to the highway entrance. There was a decent waffle house location nearby. Across the street there is a circle k for gas, and a pretty ghetto Krystal location. It's about 15 min. From the airport, and about 15 min. From Leeds where I was headed. There's a Buc-ees in Leeds too which is awesome. My read on the neighborhood is it's a first ring suburb with a business district type feel not the most scenic but that's fine. Overall I thought this was a decent place to stay for a night or two. Not perfect if you plan on staying long, but for a place to lie your head I was more than satisfied. Worthy of 4-stars.

“Good for a night!”

As we travelled down south, we stopped here for one night because it was easy to find and especially the price was reasonably good for being on a Saturday. We booked on Expedia.

“Happy with everything except the price.”

Everything was fine, except the price. Room was clean, modern, had a large flat screen with better than average cable (lots of channels). The coffee maker was a joke. A one cup kind and that's okay. However the basket was small and only for the tea bag style coffee bags provided. The provided coffe… more

Everything was fine, except the price. Room was clean, modern, had a large flat screen with better than average cable (lots of channels). The coffee maker was a joke. A one cup kind and that's okay. However the basket was small and only for the tea bag style coffee bags provided. The provided coffee bag was too little coffee and resulted in a weak cup. You might jam two in the small basket. There was coffee in the morning in an area adjacent to the front desk. In both cases the coffee was mediocre. Good (enough, at least) coffee is important to me and I bring my own one cup machine and coffee on trips. The front desk was perfectly helpful and friendly. Price was the only disappointment. It was a holiday weekend, so it was more than usual. $109 per night is a lot for a two star place in that market. But wait, there's more! I was informed at check in the room would be near $20 more. It was an 18% increase over what I booked. I like Red Roof Inn and have stayed in two locations recently. In both cases I feel like I payed more than enough.
