Red Roof Inns

This place is nice, as long as you don’t look too hard. The pictures make it look like an incredible deal. And that’s not to say it isn’t a good deal for what you pay. Having said that there were a few things that I think are issues.
The room itself is actually pretty nice. Ours has tow double beds, a desk, and a small chair by the door. There is a fridge and a microwave. Honestly for less than a hundred dollars it’s a decent place.
My issue was primarily with the bathroom. First off, the toilet was not properly bolted to the floor which caused it to rock. If you’ve never experienced this I assure you it’s terrifying. The other thing I noticed while I was trying to sit very still on the toilet was that there is mold on the ceiling above the shower. The deadbolt on our door also could not be engaged because the door hardware was missing bolts, which made using the card to get in tricky as well. The last issue is that the travel site we viewed the hotel on listed it as having an indoor pool, which it does not.
Overall it was an acceptable place to sleep, and would have gotten four stars for value but mold is a huge deal to me. This is obviously not a cleaning issue but rather a lack of maintenance.

Clean enough for a cheapish room. What happened to the $ 50 and under rooms at Red Roof? For these new prices I’d rather stay at a La Quinta. My biggest problem with Red Roofs is the outward facing rooms. They make for smokey rooms whether they are smoking or non since previous occupants smoke just outside. While we were here, the window unit AC pulled in a bunch of cigarette smoke as a neighbor was smoking around the corner from our room. The floors aren’t level in here, but they are clean enough to walk on without fear of athlete’s foot. The tv is nice, but the channel package is useless. Plenty of home shopping for us! We could hear through to our neighbors room where they seemed to be having a much better time than we were! Overall, clean enough to stop in overnight, but if a La Quinta is available its a way better value.

When I went to check in the cashier didn’t know what she was doing. I wanted to pay half on a card and the rest in cash. She didn’t know how to do that so she reduced my rates to where I could just pay it with the card. once I got to the room it looked great it was very modern and up-​to-​date, with a huge TV. the only downfall that I would say about the room is I found about 5 spiders and the bed was super hard. My back was killing me the next day.

decent. if you carry your own toiletries and just need a place to shower and lay your head, this’ll do. ask for extra towels at check-​in; these are mighty thin and in poor shape. but the rooms are clean and the bed was comfy. it’s quiet here, I slept like the dead.
flatscreen, fridge, free fast wifi. close to shopping and other hotels that are spiffier. me, I’m on a tight budget this trip. I’m satisfied.

My boyfriend and I are traveling from CT to CA with our 60lb pup, and we only stay at Red Roof inns because they never charge a dog fee or restrict weight limit. The rooms are all hard wood floors and super comfy, with extra clean bathrooms. If you have common household allergies such as dust, their hard wood floors are great for that! Dog or no dog, stay here!

Pretty good budget hotel. Flat screen TV with weird computerized cable that lags 5 – 30 seconds on channel change. Hard but comfortable enough beds with 3 pillows, nice laminate floor. Old fixtures in bathroom, but they were clean and functional. That’s what I’d say about the rooms, clean and functional. OK price for area, free cold breakfast included, as was the knuckleheaded night desk clerk that made check in much, much harder than it needed to be. We’d stay here again, fair value, servicable room.

The balconies were full of people hanging around outside their rooms smoking. It doesn’t look great from the outside, but surprisingly, the room wasn’t bad. I don’t like the fact that the rooms open directly to the parking lot (vs having a hallway).
My biggest complaint is the WiFi, or lack thereof. They do have WiFi, and they give you a password when you check in, but it is unusable. I don’t understand how, in 2014, a hotel in a fairly large city doesn’t have decent WiFi. How hard can that be?

Was looking at hotel rooms to spend the night on my road trip. Saw on Hotels Tonight that the Red Roof Inn was about $ 69. The reviews seemed pretty good but there were some that made me second guess this location. After a good debate over staying here (Grove City) or in Columbus, we decided on this location. Made my reservation via Hotels Tonight app and was on my way.
I get there around 1am and see some construction vehicles and think, «not good, things must be horrible». I go into the late checkin/​bulletproof waiting area and think the same thing. The little room smelled and was not a pretty sight. The guy came over and asked if I was Leonard W. and I confirmed it. Gave him my cc and license and he came back with the room key. He said I was on the back side on Jackpot.
I go up the stairs and into my room. The place was nice and I could tell was renovated. Sheets were clean, couldnt find a stain on the floor. Got in, did some work over the free wifi, took a shower and slept. Woke up the next day feeling good. Noticed that they were doing construction outside but I must not have heard it through the room which was a plus.
I would definitely rent a room from here because of its price and value. Also I was worried about parking and basically you are parking in Red Roof
s lot within a bigger parking lot. I know there is a White Castle right there, and overall I felt that the parking situation was safe.

This looks like it’s very junky but it’s prettyy nice I stayed and u could get yummy Otis something I forget but they were vey yummy o thought and bagels and a like sweet something and juice and Theres lemonade!!! :)

I thought this would be horrible because it was so cheap and the only room we could find after checking about 40 places on a Friday night. I was VERY surprised! The room had wood floors, a microwave, and mini fridge. The room was clean and spacious. It had limited amenities, but that wasn’t a huge deal. The front desk had hair dryers and tooth brushes. I’ve read some bad reviews but we had a great experience. I would highly recommend and stay here again.

The beds here were just about the worst I’ve ever slept on. Rock hard. The night audit area you have to use after hours smells like ball sweat. I know that it’s a cheap place but I still didn’t expect it to be that bad. All in all it cost us around $ 78 so it was more than I’d like to spend on a place of this (lack of) caliber.

The hotel is being renovated which explains the state of anarchy, dirt, and disorganization that the place had when I stopped there for the night. The parking lot was full of contractor trucks, who seemed to live on site too, hanging out outside of their rooms, with coffee and cigarettes. I am not sure why the hotel is open while renovation is going on and cannot be hidden from customers looking to get some rest.
I requested a renovated room but they were out, so the receptionist was kind enough to give me a room that wasn’t used often, but not yet renovated. I can only imagine the other «regular» rooms. Towels were damp, carpet dirty, sheets and towels had ink spots, but otherwise clean. Free breakfast was minimalist but decent.
I would only recommend this hotel after it has been fully renovated.

So me and my Fiancé was staying here from outta town Wheen we arrive check in didnt go smooth we was charged that day when we was told the charge would come on the day of check out. So we got the room and it was nice smelled of Smoke cause all they had was a smoking room. parking was cool… the floor was a lil damp and the shower was leaking!

This hotel looks like crap on the outside, but looks can be deceiving. I stayed here for an election night party in downtown Columbus and got at room for about $ 60.
I’d gone for cheap more than quality, but the room surprised me. The hotel had just been remodeled and my room had a computer desk (with free wifi), a 46″ flat screen TV, and plenty of lights/​outlets. The room itself was clean and smelled amazing.
As an added bonus, the hotel was in the middle of a new shopping area. There were plenty of restaurants and stores nearby.
I’d definitely stay here again.
