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!

Staff very friendly, John the night auditor provided great customer service. This is one of my favorite places to stay, even though I get an employee discount for a major brand. This property is well maintained coming from someone who does building repair.
