Red Roof Inn Meridian

Positive: Absolutely nothing Negative: This hotel will be turned in to the HHS department and BBB. It was the filthiest place I have ever stayed in. Ruined the beginning of a much needed vaction.

The room has its usual wear and tear - peeling paint on walls, but the room smells clean, sheets are clean. The TV is big and reception is clear. 4 pillows are soft but small but that's ok.

The room was clean and inviting. The hotel was quiet, other than street noise. The staff was very personable at check-in. If I had to say a negative, this is a just-me thing—the room was too cold when I came in—easily fixed. Last minute reservation so I was pleasantly surprised.

We needed a quick overnight. Beds was comfortable, room clean, quiet for a highway stop over. Everyone we interacted with was very nice. There are 2 dog walks, both were equipped with bags and disposable cans.
