Red Roof Inn

I have to say I enjoyed this.
I needed a cheap place to sleep on my way through Cincinnati, because I wanted to save my money for important things like coffee. I randomly selected this Red Roof out of what I figured to be the cheapest category of lodging.
I was right. I paid $ 62.00, found a place to park well away from my second story room, and because I had recently sprained my ankle and needed to walk carefully, I took just half of my luggage with me and deposited it in the room.
(Whoa, I thought, it will take a bit to get used to the cloud of smoke in here.)
When I returned with the rest of my belongings, the key no longer worked. I longed to drop everything but my purse and walk the quarter mile straight to the office for assistance, but it seemed very much an area where things might disappear.
I carried it all back to my car, contacted the amiable clerk, and we both returned to my room. She unlocked the door for me. «Do you think my key will work now?» I ventured.
«It doesn’t seem to be,» she replied. «When you go out just be sure to leave the door open a few inches.»
(Oh, I thought, that’s a new idea.)
The bathroom light didn’t immediately work. I considered that unfortunate but not impossible.
Red Roof, you will be glad to hear that because of the state of my ankle I did not jump on the bed this time.
Oh, and they put the toilet paper in backward. But I fixed it.

First we were given a room that was not «cleaned» yet. It had trash and food all over the room. The next room was «cleaned» but I’m not sure what their version of clean is. The first thing I see is the mouse dropping on the table, right next to the bug that I had to kill. There was some kind of dark stain on the corner of the bed spread. We took the bed spread off and there was a Bic lighter under it. And the beds were not clean at all. Hair and crumbs all over the bed under the sheets. The hand towels were gray instead of the white they should have been. The floor mat towel for the bathroom was covered in stains. The doors to the rooms are really weird to close from the outside. They don’t just close, you have to turn the inner handle and then hold it turned with the outer handle to get the dead bolt to release so the door will close.

DISGUSTING! Cigarette holes in the sheet and blankets, holes punched in the wall, an empty CONDOM box under the chair, and leftover toiletries in the bathroom from the last guest! So gross!
When I brought all this to the managers attention, the gm was called and I was told «I’m off today.»
If you have any respect for yourself at all, stay far away from this hotel. Management doesn’t care, very obviously.

Same stories here for me. Cigarette holes in bed sheets. Nasty room that smelled of cigarettes. Everything was gross. Booking another trip right now and will be staying away from this place. Not worth saving money. Not worth it at all. I would only wish this upon my worst enemies.

Booked this through Expedia and now know to not book hotels without checking Unilocal first. I’m only giving this hotel 1 star because I can’t give it zero stars. We walked into a room that immediately reeked of cigarettes. There was a dead bug smooshed on the wall and a few more crawling around above the curtains. The bathroom was disgusting and tub covered in mold. I was too afraid to even look under the sheets because the bedspread was covered in inexplicable dust and lint. That being said we didn’t even stay here, we immediately put our bags back in the car and complained to management. half an hour later and my skin still feels crawly from the few brief minutes we spent in that room. Currently on our way to stay with my sister at the Marriott. Do not stay here!

This was the worse place I have ever stayed. Filthy rooms, broken bathroom door… Drug addicts walking around all night outside. No way would I ever stay here again. I was scared to walk outside my room.

This was the WORST hotel I have EVER stayed in!
Problems:
–there was a HOLE IN THE WALL where the AC unit was supposed to be. All that separated us from the outside world was a layer of chicken wire
–there was ONE pillow for a king size bed
–there was NO phone
–there were NO toiletries (NO toilet paper, NO shampoo, etc.)
–TV did NOT work
–we found THREE BUGS in the BED!
They gave us a full refund, but we will NOT be staying there again nor do we recommend ANYONE ELSE give this place a thought! It’s sad that I have to give this place even a single star.

This place is inexpensive, but not worth saving a few dollars. It is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in (including many questionable places in Europe). We will never stay there again. The pillows and mattresses are awful. There were cigarette burns on the comforters. The lining of the curtain had a thousand holds in it from bugs or something (or cat claws? we speculated as to what the hell would have caused the entire thing to have so many holes). On a 95 degree day, it took our air conditioner about 36 hours to cool down our room. We bought a $ 20 fan from Target so we could sleep. There was half a roll of TP in the bathroom and no extra roll (for multiple night stay). Washcloths and towels that are tissue thin and could double as a loofah they are so rough. Cobwebs. Sunflower seeds from the previous guest (s) in various places around the room — including obvious places like on the headboard. The entire place is run down and dirty. It’s not just our room either. We had a large group staying there and everyone felt the same way. One couple had to switch rooms upon arrival because the first was so bad.
Stay anywhere else than this place.

This hotel is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The heat or T.V. didnt work there was a ton of mold in the bathroom and I don’t think the sheets had been changed in at least 2 weeks. I wanted to check out but the weather was very bad. I actually slept in my clothes because it was so filthy. I did contact Red Roof head office and got no response. I will tell you as Red Roof is bebinning to sell their hotels off to franchises they are destroying the brand and I can no longer stay at these DUMPS
