First, they gave us a stinky,strong mold smell, we wanted to change to different room, then they gave us another room not ready to use,,, They made the bed but the pillows weren’t in where it’s supposed to be,The dirty tissue everywhere, on the bed,on top of the counter, in the sink,,, We were very tired after all day on the road, so we just clean for ourselves to rest, after taking the shower we realized the hair dryer wasn’t working, we called the front desk, and they said they would send tech to fix it on the next morning 😢 Then the breakfast, only cereal, a few of slices of sandwich, old muffins,, Coffee, orange juice, apple juice… That’s all they served….. So poor service, and staff was not friendly at all ,,. The first time I book with Red Roof Inn and absolutely the last time.

No Good hotel
They was not going to give us a deposit back. We said we have four people in the room, which was not true. Told them they could look back on the cameras. There are several other people in the rooms asking us to if we did drugs trying to sell us drugs so there’s drug dealers that stay there.. Never once asked us if we needed anything and then when I went to get breakfast, told me I could not write this one star will never go back. The lady upfront was very rude and kept using hand gestures to get me out talking with her hands more or less and she was a very smart lady

Great Value
It was a one night stay as we traveled through. The fact that they accept pets is HUGE with us. Room was clean and comfortable. A great value for the price paid. Would definitely stay again and definitely would recommend. It is a sketchy area, but this place was good to go.

It was honestly a really gross place to stay. Had it not been super late and my kids needed to sleep I would’ve stayed somewhere else. We woke up to a couple of roaches in our room and more bugs in the windows. Looked like nothing had even been dusted and the bathroom fan sounded like it was broken and loud as all hell.

The hotel wasnt bad, per say, but the rules placed on guest after paying the deposit was unreal. I have no real issue with the deposit for damages caused or returned if there are no damages. But i witnessed one guest being denied the return of her deposit because she had a visitor. Ialso have issues with trfree wifi. It was adult protected so mmuch that i couldnt shop fir underwear on Amazon. As i said, the hotel wasnt bad, But i am an adult, my parents are deceased. I thi k. I can pick out what i need to watch and if i want a friend to visit, i should be allowed to.

Treat the customer like a criminal policy
This hotel has a poor customers relation policy. They demanded I give $100 cash deposit in addition to what I just paid for the room in addition to having my credit card on file. They said this was a deposit against damages. I’m a 74-year-old business traveler. Demanding it deposit for damages was an absolute insult. I have stayed in thousands of hotels all over the country. No one’s ever treated me like this. Therefore, I will never stay in a red roof again and I’ll find out what other brands are in the chain and I’ll block them also. Thank this location and belligerent staff for my position.

Stay away for your health and safety
Lobby has no working bathroom & there are towels shoved under the doors to keep bugs out. Our room reeked of mold and it made me sick after the first night. Shouting guests and animal noises kept us awake late at night & honking cars & construction woke us up in early morning. “Breakfast” was a stack of white bread slices and some fruit loops, with a sign saying you can’t take it to your room. There were only 2 tiny stained bath towels for 2 guests. There were no blankets on the beds, just a top sheet. Door handle and lock to our room was broken and we had to be let in by staff who stood there blaming us for not knowing how to use the key. After second night I was so sick from the stinking mold that we checked out early and went to the Best Western. The staff there told us about shootings and vehicle thefts at the Red Roof. This place is an abomination. Stay away for your health and safety.
