Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Palm Coast

10/10 Excellent
"This was a great stay. Very economical. The room was clean, nicely appointed and quite comfortable. Also, a really good use of space without feeling too crowded. The front desk clerk was very friendly and helpful. Great to have a small bag of snacks waiting for us (we did get the upgraded King room for those specific amenities as well as upgraded bedding). It was super co bc eminent to I-95 and all the things we needed to do the next day."
