Mold and uncomfortable beds
People were friendly, but room was gross. Mold on ceiling of bathroom. Shower curtain wouldn’t close so water got everywhere on the floor and walls outside shower. Beds were very uncomfortable with springs making noise when you moved. Paid almost $300 per night for this.

Our room's phone didn't work. Nor did the TV. They had to switch us to a different room. The first room had a TV and a microwave. The second room did not have either. The toilet seat was broken. The staff for the most part only spoke Spanish. It made it difficult to communicate. We would not recommend this Red Roof. We won't be returning.

First thing I noticed when I went into the room was that the bedding was dirty. I tried calling down to the front desk, three times and none of the calls would go through. I flagged down a housekeeper and was about to give her all the old bedding and asked for just a new blanket and I received one with a massive hole in it. The lights made sounds when turned on, and if you use the heater, prepare for the room to smell like it’s burning. Even though there was a sign that said don’t smoke outside my room, multiple times I would see people through my window smoking with the smell drifting into my room. The door did not fully close into the frame and you hear every single bit of noise coming from outside the room to the parking lot. Often times there would be people screaming at 2 and 4 am and I was not able to sleep the two nights I was there. The towels had stains and one of the wash rags looked like it hadn’t been washed. The bathroom ceiling had black mold and there were numerous bugs I found in my room. I would never stay at a red roof again, this was truly a horrible experience. I’ve been itchy since I left and I hope I didn’t get bed bugs to continue this nightmare stay.

Tee
After picking up my key to my room. On the corridor were 2 women and a man sitting right on my path to my room on the corridor drinking and doing their own thing. The room itself is small. The bath is the smallest I have seen in any hotel room. The place is more of a motel than a hotel. No breakfast service and the place is full of people I can't describe. I didn't feel comfortable a bit until I checked out the following day. Very terrible place. I will never recommend this to anyone except if you are on a very tight budget you can't find any alternative.

Columbus Trip
I had an amazing time! The check-in and check-out processes were efficient. However, my room had a few issues. Some outlets didn't work properly, and my plug would fall out. Additionally, some items in the room need maintenance, such as a bent lamp and torn wallpaper. I received only one regular coffee instead of two, and the TV setup was confusing. On the positive side, the hotel is in an excellent location and provides good value for the price. And the bed was super comfy. I did encounter a problem with my key, but the front desk promptly addressed it. Would recommend staying here when visiting Columbus!

Standard room for good price
Room and stay was standard for what I needed. I will say our initial room was not acceptable but the manager did not hesitate to move us to a better room and thanked me for pointing out the issue.
