This place is filthy has bedbugs!
Stephany, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good one night stay

The front desk was extremely helpful when my reservation from Hotels.com was not processed. He helped me correct what I needed for the night, and even upgraded my room for the inconvenience. The hotel was fine for a budget hotel for a quick one night stay. There were some stains on the towels and they need to add USB outlets but otherwise it is a decent hotel. Great location.
Linda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hope I didn’t wake them

After we were given a key to an unoccupied room, sure hope my 2 am entry to their room didn’t wake them, it was good for what it’s purpose was, a place to stop along the way
Keith, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This property needs a complete update and thorough cleaning. The towels were stained and well used. Overall it was clean on the surface. I would not stay here again nor would I stay at a Red Roof Inn.
Judy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I was met with friendly service however the hotel room could use some updating and maintenance. It sufficed as a place to sleep, however I would not recommend having high expectations going into it. I would’ve expected the price to be a little cheaper for what it was. It hard to beat its location to JMU though.

The room was dirty, sheets and towels were visibly stained and dirty!
Kenneth, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not clean

not terrible but not a clean hotel
Mark, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff we dealt with were very friendly and guided us to a good restaurant. The hotel itself was very tired looking and dated. The room was probably clean but it was hard to be certain since the furniture was so worn and the bathroom was so old. The tile appeared worn and dirty. Won’t stay in RRI again!!
