“All Redone!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

Needed to spend one night in the University area. Usually stay at another well know hotel chain, but the price is too high. Read in another review that the Red Roof was redone. It was!! This is the perfect place to stay, inexpensive, and the rooms are all redone!!

We checked in around 2 am on a Friday morning, and the lady in the front desk was very courteous and helpful (as well as smiling).... More

Check-in and check-out went very smoothly. The room was not cleaned one of the days. The front desk staff offered to clean the room but I just wanted fresh towels. The front desk staff was very apologetic. Upon check-out, I was told that I would not be charged for the one night because the room had not been cleaned. I... More

The bed was comfortable, the shower water was hot - although the tea water was not. They permit animals, which is a really good thing id you're traveling with two dogs! You can't ask much more for the price they charge.
