Never stayed in a red roof inn before, but thought I would try it after seeing that this hotel was newly renovated with newly designed rooms. I was impressed! Extremely clean and everything looks new. Would definitely stay here again. Can't beat the price! Only paid $57 a night with the Florida resident discount.

Have stayed at this hotel in the past and it was acceptable. It was an older hotel that needed renovation and thank goodness has finally received it!! The Staff has always been wonderful and accommodating, but the streamlined renovations have made this a TOP NOTCH hotel once again. The Staff mirrors this "pride" in their hotel and we will be...

Stayed here in the past, and enjoyed it, especially since we travel with pets but this time was even better. They recently remodeled the hotel and rooms and it's so much more clean and comfortable. Great staff and great stay.

We stopped here on our way across Florida. Just looking for a place to crash for a night with our cat. The rooms were great, new and updated, clean, and quiet. We would stay again if passing through town. Parking was ample great location off highway.

I was pleased with how the rooms had been updated and renovated. The room was clean, smelled fine, and was comfortable. We experienced no problems. It is a good choice for a "no frills" hotel. The location is in a safe area close to shopping and restaurants.

Red Roof has done a nice job in the construction of this new motel. It was quiet, nice shower, good bed, and clean. Yes, it is a 'plain jane' with no extras and no frills but a very decent place to stay in a nice surrounding. The problem is the place is not being well maintained. I walked into my... More

This property is as close to perfect as any I've ever experienced, and I use this property as a model to judge all others by. I have been staying at this property several times each year since about 2006 and I actually can't wait to get there and check-in no matter where I've stayed along the way in getting there.... More

1. Yes, its clean and staff are nice. 2. Location is weird, you can't see it from the Main row, prefer to stay in the next exit north, more action there. 3. No breakfast, no coffee in room. 4. Ask if you get a fridge or microwave in your low price, did not know it was an $10 upgrade. 5.... More

Here is what you get: a brand new room. Ample space, perfectly clean and very friendly staff. Just off Archer Road about 7 minutes from UF. Excellent value. Don't expect luxury or many toiletries, bring your own. No fluff just great basic room for a great price.
