The upgrades are very nice but maybe not well thought out? The room that I stayed in had obnoxious lighting Around the window allowing light to flood in my room around the curtains. I would stay again but would need another room.

I had to change rooms multiple times. They couldn't get the door to open on the first room and the air conditioning did not work in the second room. The area is fairly rough and it is not near the actual campus. I am not sure how it is a Red Roof plus...it is an a standard Red Roof Inn with doors to the outside. The Red Roof Inn plus by the convention center is very nice. The guy working the front desk was nice.

With only one person in line in front of me, it took 25 min to check in. After I came back from my concert, I wanted to chill out and watch some tv. It would not work no matter what I tried with the remote. The front desk promised help but none came.

Overall it was an OK stay. We were only in the room for about 8 hours. TV didn't work, bed moved frequently when getting in and out of bed. They said they are refunding some money for the TV problem, but we havent seen it yet. Front desk staff was helpful and kind.
