We use Red Roof because it is moderately priced, allows us to travel with our dog, and we only stay for 12 hours before we're on the road again. This is the first Red Roof we've found that could serve as a base to stay & explore the area. And after our first stay, we've adjusted our travel route to make this our new midway stop. Besides being well maintained, it is NOT smokey! We had a king bed, which generally are broken down in the middle and lumpy. Not the case at all; ours was firm, with NO valley. Most important--management cares.
