Do it. Not bad, and super close to CC.

Best place for local and cheap for convention center. You get what you pay for, but the staff is nice and the room is (mostly) clean aside from a sticky hardwood floor.

Stay if you must

When we checked in the man at the front desk was not friendly and didn't seem to know what he was doing. The lady, Dora, was extremely kind and helpful on day 2 though. When we went to leave we were charged $120 for parking but were told Red Roof put us over there because their parking lot was full, when i checked out he said i parked in the wrong lot. We did get it situated though partly. When i return later this year i will stay in one of the other hotels and hopefully receiver friendlier service.

Just good enough is good enough?

$62 charge for using the provided safe. Which you get back if you didn’t use it, but only by checking out at the desk at end of stay. Otherwise just adequate, even employees seemed to do just enough. We were also there during the great washcloth shortage of 25. Finally got two after asking and then they both disappeared during next service

The staff was so super nice. Message to the management: DON'T HAVE SHIFT CHANGE AT 3PM (check-in time), especially if you aren't allowing early check-ins. I can't believe how nice the staff was considering what a mess the night shift had to come into.

the power of the hotel seems to be unstable, the power went out on a Saturday morning, ot went from 8am to 12 pm. i couldn't take a shower or charge my electronics, it was very disruptive, and on top of that the hotel refused to give any compensations dispite repeated asking. in the remining of my stay the power still flickers from time to time.

You get what you pay for. Whole building is in mediocre condition, hotel room wasn’t super clean, furniture was falling apart. Power went out for the whole hotel Saturday morning, thankfully shower still had hot water. When I asked about it they said it would be back on in an hour or two, had no other info. Don’t know why they don’t have an emergency backup generator? For somewhere to just sleep it was doable, and the walk to the convention center is pretty fast. Fairly certain someone clipped my car while it was in the Red Roof parking lot at some point as well. They sent me three different billing statements with different totals, but only charged me for the first one, so not sure what that’s about.

No electricity

Saturday morning, June 14 the electricity went out in the hotel around 8 o’clock in the morning and did not come back on until 2:30 in the afternoon. Which made us have to take our dogs with us wherever we went during that time because of the heat in the building
