"A great ground floor room with exterior access which was great for my two dogs"

This is the best dog friendly Red Roof Inn I had the pleasure of visiting. Huge parking area and great open spaces to walk your pets. The room was clean, comfy and very quiet. Hot breakfast served between 6 and 9 AM. I will definitely use this hotel again.
