2/10 Poor

Place is a homeless shelter
Patrick, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The entire place smelled pretty awful. The front desk was nice and the bed was super comfortable. Bugs in the bathroom weren't particularly expected and didn't really want to scatter!
brett, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The reason this isn’t a one star review is because the bed was actually comfortable. Other than that, this place is a dump. It was parents weekend at my daughter’s college so this was really the only place that had any openings. If given the choice, I would not stay here again.
Emily, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The room smelled musty and the toilet kept running.

Not really clean, noisy
Robert, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Dissapointed even for a red roof

When I rated this hotel it was not based on other chains. It got a low grade compared to other red roof inns I have stayed in
Allan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don’t stay here.

The place is absolutely filthy. Shower leaked onto the floor. The sink dripped toilet barely flushed no hairdryer, dead bug in the room always very dark and carpets with filthy garbage on the property places like a homeless shelter. also people living there in the parking lot in their cars.
Tina, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a little nicer than expected (especially since the carpeting was replaced with a vinyl wood floor). It was clean, but various things were broken. The bathroom door didn’t close or lock. The bathroom fan wasn’t working. The remote needed batteries. The front desk staff were helpful.
Vincent, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

We had to ask to change rooms twice but the smell and bathrooms were in the same horrible condition so we had to leave. It’s was hard to breathe. Also other guest with pets had 2 dogs that they never cleaned up after.
Keshalu, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good environment and nice customer services
Juma, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel is just a dump. Aging infrastructure is one thing, but combine that with dirty, stained, broken, terrible odors … in the hall. The parking lot felt dangerous at night. Front desk staff nice enough, had to get our key reactivated at least twice so some interaction there. For the jacked up prices for UD parents weekend I’d rather camp next time. It was that bad.

The chain lock didn’t lock the sliding glass door did not latch a stick was there to hold the door closed . Shower was gross and sink was all stained
Annemarie, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

This hotel is very loud dogs barking in the hallway little kids running up and down. They said they upgraded me to a suite had water damage. It was clean enough, but I was pretty amazed for what they charged the condition of the hotel.
Lisa, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel is so run down and dirty. It was actually scary to stay there. The staff in the front office was fabulous which was nice.
