Said they were “pet friendly” but didn’t want me to bring my Service Dog into the breakfast area because they thought it would bother the 2 other people in there eating. I finally just took her in there and the people loved her.

Nice Inn for a Great Price

We really enjoyed our brief stay at this inn. Our room was clean and comfortable. The AC worked amazing and the staff were friendly. We were on the front side of the inn so the noise from the road was a little loud, but it wasn't horrible. I think if your room was on the backside it would be fine.

Photos of hotel on Expedia website is very deceiving. There was mold on walls and ceiling in bathroom. Bedsheets and covers were dirty. Front desk was rude and inattentive. Breakfast was cold. Overall very disappointed in hotel and felt scammed by photos online.

Room was clean and was conveniently located for a cross-country drive. I stay at this Red Roof and the one in Erie PA on my drives two or three times a year and they’re consistently clean with friendly staff and very welcoming of dogs… no extra fee is greatly appreciated when you have a sweet easy going dog who causes no harm!
