Red Roof Inn Rocky Mount - Battleboro

It’s a very basic place: a bed, sink, fridge, and shower, but it was super cheap. The blankets were the main downside because the material made me incredibly itchy. I’d still give it four stars for what it is. The check-in communication was odd, though. I booked online and was told late arrival was fine, then got an email asking me to call. I was about five hours away, so I called to say I’d arrive near midnight, but somehow the person thought I was asking for a smoking room. At check-in, that woman wasn’t there. The gentleman at the desk asked, “Just you and your dog?” which threw me off. I said you could call him a dog, but he only has two legs, lol. I nearly got a smoking room that had previously had animals, and didn’t want either.

We tried three different rooms, and every one had blood on the sheets and filthy floors. In the end, we left to find another hotel.

The room was nice, I can't lie, but it could've been cleaned a little better. My TV wouldn't work all night.

We got checked in quickly after midnight, and the location and service were good. The room smelled a bit unpleasant, but with two little kids asleep, we went straight to bed instead of asking to switch rooms. In the morning I saw hairs and a shoe print in the shower, which hadn't been used, and spots on the linens that looked like pink nail polish. It was an okay hotel, but it needs better cleaning.
