I’ve stayed in several hotels over the past week and this was by far my best experience. The lady at the front desk was very pleasant which is my reason for this review. The room smelled clean which was completely different from every other hotel I stayed in. There wasn’t much to it but it was all I needed. They also gave me a military discount which I thought was very nice. The lobby was also very welcoming.

Love staying at this location - have been for many years/trips to upstate NY. They are always very welcoming, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and they're pet-friendly (which our dog likes!) Looking forward to our next visit, and keep up the great work! - Christine

We arrived very late and were welcomed by an energetic and friendly man at the desk. He gave clear directions to our room, and told us to sleep well and enjoy breakfast in the morning! If hard boiled eggs were added to the breakfast, our gluten free daughter could have eaten here. Instead we had to go elsewhere that morning. The hotel conveniently had local menus in the lobby. Our room was very clean and included a small kitchen area. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Room was very clean. Beautiful lobby. Good breakfast. Loved they had a fridge and a microwave. Would have given a 5 but I am an older person, traveling alone and they put me in the back building. I was tge only car. Very deserted and it was a bit scary. And trucks going by were very loud.

Great place to stay, easily accessible off of I-90! Booked our room pretty late at night, the front desk was incredibly friendly and quick with check in. Rooms were spacious and clean, showers have amazing water pressure. Plenty of room to park our U-haul for the night, at an affordable price. TVs are easy to use, temperature was very comfortable, and there's a Dennys in the same lot! Thank you for a good night's rest

I had a really great stay at the Red Roof Inn in Herkimer, NY and wanted to share the experience. From the moment we walked in, everything felt clean, welcoming, and well taken care of. The main lobby and check-in area were spotless, and the dining room was just as nice and organized. When we entered our room, the first thing we noticed was how good it smelled — fresh and very clean. The room itself was comfortable, the bed was great to sleep on, and I’m happy to say there were absolutely no bugs. The staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly cared about the guests. A special thank you to Laura, who took the time to guide us about future stays and recommended the Red Roof membership and the mobile app, which we’ll definitely be using. The coffee in the morning was surprisingly excellent. My girlfriend usually drinks just one cup of coffee in the morning, but at Red Roof Inn she had three — that says a lot! Breakfast had a really nice selection: bagels, English muffins, fruit, cereal, jams, cream cheese, butter, hard-boiled eggs, orange juice, apple juice, milk, and a variety of coffee creamers including French vanilla, hazelnut, and regular. There were also granola bars and both chocolate and blueberry muffins. The toasters even had very clear instructions, which was a nice touch. The breakfast staff were constantly restocking items, wiping down tables, greeting everyone with a friendly “good morning,” and asking if there was anything they could do to make the experience better. It really made the atmosphere feel welcoming. Parking was easy with plenty of spaces available, which made things very convenient. The room price was also very affordable, especially considering how clean and comfortable everything was. Another big plus was the TV selection. They use Spectrum, so there were tons of channels to choose from along with movies, which made relaxing in the room even better. Overall, this was a very pleasant stay and we would definitely return. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and affordable place to stay in the Herkimer area.
