After staying at this “hotel,” I understand better why the good ones in the vicinity sell out quickly. The quotes around “hotel” are strategic. It’s a motel. Our first impression was to flee, but we had already booked and paid for it. Check-in confirmed our initial impression when the receptionist asked if we needed a TV. Need a TV? Doesn’t our “suite” have a TV? Apparently, not all of them do. The stairway to the second floor consisted of a steep set of cracked cement stairs so tiny that my size 10 ½ shoes struggled to climb. An older person or anyone with stability issues could not reach the second floor. As you enter the room, you wish you would have turned around and hopped back into your vehicle. Inside our suite, the horrible review continues. After turning on the air conditioning, which did a fine job cooling the room, there was a strange smell we could not identify. Scanning the room, I was surprised to find a grasshopper perched upon the bedspread. I removed it and released it back into the wild. Thank you, Red Roof Inn, for a life-long anecdote. The inspection of the space continued with one disgusting discovery after another. The towels were either stained or dirty. Upon looking beneath the pillowcases, you could see apparent blood stains. The bedspread and linens did not appear clean. The furniture was mismatched, old, and disgusting. The remote control to the optional TV was so dirty and sticky that I washed my hands after changing channels. I decided not to turn on the TV in the morning to avoid the remote. The bathroom functioned well, although we found it difficult to survive with a tiny bar of soap that we shuttled back and forth between the shower and the sink. Despite a small kitchen area, we did not open the refrigerator door. We didn’t want to eat anything in that suite. We should have put more effort into researching this place before booking it. The negative reviews we read are faithful to our experience. After a one-night stay, it is obvious how deceptive the pictures are. They do not reflect reality. We would not recommend this place since our collective mantra in the morning was, “We survived.”
