My friend had a hotel tenants loose dog ran at her and her dog who was on a lead when she yelledcat them to come get their dog they threatened her and her dogs life! Said they woukd put a bullet in both their heads! The staff were no help the manager doesn't even live in the country we had to call the local police. The hotel would not give my money back and forced us to stay another night scared to death as we had no money to move to another hotel! I want my money back they coukd not keep us safe nor did they try to make things better.No one shoukd stay there ther permanent tenants are all druggies and dangerous. The police said they respond to numerous calls to this Redroof inn , the Walmart next door!

The room had an unpleasant odor. The bathroom had holes in the wall near the baseboard. The water pressure in the shower was low. The sink was extremely slow to drain.

Pros: -Nice check-in staff -Heater works great -1st pet stays Free and second is $15 a night Cons: -Smells like someone chain smoked cigarettes in the room - got switched and it still smelled horribly like cigs...even after spraying perfume all over. So it's not a Smoke Free environment! -Staff tried gaslighting us saying it doesn't smell like cigs/they were just in the room -No microwave plate -Tv didn't work -Cig burns in the sheets -Dirty, a lot of trash under the bed, floor piece was missing -Sink didn't work at all & dirty toilet -Cars kept circling the building and it felt very unsafe Was honestly very upset with this stay and will never recommend it to anyone.

Too cheap-get what you pay for.

Booked this 1 month ahead and when I got there no first floor room was available two rooms were shown to me with only one bed (booked double) one worse then the other on the third room dirty bathroom and no covers on the beds smell of marijuana was outside of room and inside. She said she would switch me out when a clean first floor room with two beds became available… never did it. 3 days no housecleaning or trash pick up stayed outside the door.

I didnt like anything. The beds were old. The pillows were older. Bed bugs and pubic hairs on the dirty bed. I couldnt even go to bed after a Halloween party. Had to drive 40 miles home. Strongly advise to not stay at this property. I stay at Red Roof in Belden Village all the time and its clean and no bed bugs. Waiting on my refund. Calling health department.
