Our first room was filthy. Luckily they had another room and it was much better. The front desk staff was great but they need a better cleaning crew.

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.

I arrived at 8:30 for a 3:00 check-in, and I was told that it would be a 45-minute wait. Two hours later, I got a room. One bed was stained, the other had a dead bug in it. It took another 30 minutes to get a new room.

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.

Worth the money? Probably not.

Only one person working check-in on probably the busiest day of the year (Solar Eclipse). Room wasnt ready after we checked in. Over an hour after check-in before we got in the room. Smelled like dog. The bed was probably last replaced when Clinton was president.
