I went to the O Daylight Inn next door and paid for it non-refundable. It was so gross that I left and went next door to The Red Roof Inn. Michael was extremely helpful with his customer service and got me a nice room for not that much more than I paid at the O Daylight Inn. I check every hotel thoroughly for bed bugs and hidden cameras. None were found. The bed was very comfortable and clean as well as the rest of the room. There were tons of power outlets. Everywhere to use - even 2 built into the front of the microwave! The shower was a little small and the shower head was a little low. But, for the price I paid, I really couldn't complain about that! The entrance to your room is outside. So in the winter, there's no enclosed hallway to get to your room. There is no complimentary breakfast either. I did not look for amenities like a pool or anything. So I can't comment on that. There is a room with vending machines, ice machines, washers, and dryers downstairs near the front desk. The neighborhood is pretty ghetto and there were lots of sketchy people riding bikes and walking around late at night. But no one bothered me or my vehicle. The hotel extremely close to MacDonald's if you need. It's also about a 2 minute drive to Walmart, Ross, and a bunch of eateries. Overall, for the price, this place is great!
