“Room Question”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

I had a question about this newly renovated Red Roof Inn. I know on their website they have a few suite rooms, that say 2 rooms. Does that mean it is a 2 bedroom suite, or 1 bedroom and a living area?

“Great deal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2013

It's been decades since I stayed in a Red Roof Inn - yes, the last experience was that bad - but I would happily recommend this location to anyone looking for great value. New rooms, friendly service, and comfortable beds. Only issue was with the wifi - I could not connect to the internet despite picking up a strong signal.... More

“No coffee or B'fast”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2013

The hotel was clean but no coffee maker in the room (unless you upgraded but did have coffee downstairs) and no breakfast at all? Paid almost $90/night. Wow......little disappointing i have paid less and got more.

My family and I stayed here overnight on our way from Georgia to Disney World. We stopped in Gainesville to visit with family on the way. This is listed as an economy hotel. I have stayed at more expensive places less clean and professional than the Red Roof Inn. The rooms were not huge but were big enough for a... More

“Excellent price for a nice, safe, clean room and hotel.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2013

Never stayed in a red roof inn before, but thought I would try it after seeing that this hotel was newly renovated with newly designed rooms. I was impressed! Extremely clean and everything looks new. Would definitely stay here again. Can't beat the price! Only paid $57 a night with the Florida resident discount.

Have stayed at this hotel in the past and it was acceptable. It was an older hotel that needed renovation and thank goodness has finally received it!!

“Great place. Newly remodeled”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013

Stayed here in the past, and enjoyed it, especially since we travel with pets but this time was even better. They recently remodeled the hotel and rooms and it's so much more clean and comfortable. Great staff and great stay.

“Great place to stay for a night”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2013 via mobile

We stopped here on our way across Florida. Just looking for a place to crash for a night with our cat. The rooms were great, new and updated, clean, and quiet. We would stay again if passing through town. Parking was ample great location off highway.

“Good value!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2013

I was pleased with how the rooms had been updated and renovated. The room was clean, smelled fine, and was comfortable. We experienced no problems. It is a good choice for a "no frills" hotel. The location is in a safe area close to shopping and restaurants.
