10/10 Excellent

"Surprisingly good facility! Efficient and friendly front desk. Room was very nice. First time traveling with a pet, so received a "pet friendly" room, no carpet and nice area near a wall for our doggy bed. Quiet even though the Interstate was about 100 yards from the window. We often stay with Red Roof, and this was probably the nicest one we have stayed at."
