Nice Inn for a Great Price

We really enjoyed our brief stay at this inn. Our room was clean and comfortable. The AC worked amazing and the staff were friendly. We were on the front side of the inn so the noise from the road was a little loud, but it wasn't horrible. I think if your room was on the backside it would be fine.

Kelcey, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Nearly ruined my girlfriens birthday weekend.

The sheets hadn't been changed. Room was dirty. We changed to another room. Stilll not toal clean, the tv didn't work. The attitude when we checked in was not friendly or polite. We will never stay there again. Also had to pay $100 deposit. I have never had to pay a deposit unless i had my dog with me and then it was oonly $50

Front desk was rude
Rafael, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was clean and was conveniently located for a cross-country drive. I stay at this Red Roof and the one in Erie PA on my drives two or three times a year and they’re consistently clean with friendly staff and very welcoming of dogs… no extra fee is greatly appreciated when you have a sweet easy going dog who causes no harm!

We were very disappointed at check-in when they charged us a $100 deposit for the room that we had paid for in advance. It rather spoiled the stay.

Ok place

My key to the room stopped working, they quickly rekeyed it but it was inconvenient. The parking is tight for bigger vehicles. The rooms overlooking the highway are loud.
