The TV did not work and we asked for someone to fix it 3 times but no one ever came. We took a note to the cleaning staff with a tip to ask for extra towels and coffee and no one brought it. We even left our room # on the note. Each time we told the clerk at the desk about our TV she said " oh yes, we will send someone" but no one came.

Comfortable place
The location of the hotel seemed to be a nice area. The room was clean and the bed was so comfortable. I didnt realize the standard king dosent come with a microwave or refrigerator, so that kinda sucked. Room service only came when you asked for it. My entire experience was pretty good.

There was only 2 towels for 3 people and no conditioner in the shower. The bathtub had red stains all over. The blankets had holes in them and there where stinkbugs on the ceiling. Lastly the fridge was not cold at all. The drinks that were left out of the fridge were colder than the ones in the fridge.

Not sure what the extra amenities were, we got the upgraded bedding & snack rooms. Decaf coffee, mini-fridge & microwave. Bedding didn’t seem upgraded beyond simple hotel sheets, blankets, & pillows. Room was clean but a number of spots in the room could use repaired and repainted. Overall though a satisfactory stay, will probably stay again.

It was a fun stay. The Red Roof inn is very close to Ohio Stadium. This is the reason we picked it. It is basically a 2 star hotel if that. The staff was kinda friendly. Room was clean, but in need of a huge makeover.
