The receptionists were wonderful, the room quite clean, no carpeting thank goodness, so much looked new. The tub was chipped & needed to be recaulked but that's minor. Good breakfast, eggs, sausages, waffles.... I would stay here again!
The hotel clerk was so nice. The only problem we saw was that they don't clean under the beds very often, it was terrible & the only reason we look is because we have pugs & they will eat anything. Everything else was very nice.
I had a great stay at Red Roof Inn! The staff were excellent- very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.
If you brought much luggage (I was "traveling heavy"), you definitely want to be on the first floor - no elevator. The staff is nice and helpful, the rooms are clean, but there's not much else to be said.
The most important thing about a hotel is that it is CLEAN, and this Red Roof was exceptionally clean. Wood-grain floor (no carpet). Everything worked (hot water, A/C, heat, lights, TV, mini-fridge, curtains that actually keep light out, etc.). I stayed 4 nights and all the staff I encountered were nice. Bed was comfortable. The room might be a little smaller than the place at the other end of town, but the price is considerably less as well. Recommend!
This place was really nice. The staff was great, cleaned our rooms, made sure we had clean towels daily, nice indoor pool, close to everything. Highly recommend.
The room was large and spacious, very clean, the bed was comfortable! Big deal for me I sleep with a bed hog. Lol..Shower, wasn't huge, but the water was HOT and the spray was great! Would definitely stay there again! Kudos to the owner and his very polite staff!!
Nothing fancy, but clean and quiet. Also has comfortable beds. The staff is friendly. The price is fantastic compared to the big chain places. I’d recommend it.
On a tree-lined street, this unassuming budget hotel is a 14-minute walk from University of South Dakota and a mile from the National Music Museum. It's 7 miles from I-29.
