Red Roof Inn Washington DC BW Parkway

The room is standard. Clean and bedding is clean and looks newer. The heat all night made the most horrible clicking/​tapping sounds. I got in late for an early morning flight and barely got any sleep as the heater sounding like it was maybe «warming up» then a very loud banging from another part would start. I had to turn the heat to below 60 in order for the noise to stop. Very disappointed as I head for a very long flight

Clean, spacious, affordable, easy check in and out.
The only thing was the price advertised was not what I got, but the price advertised was for families of people in the hospital, so that’s cool that people are being helped that need it.

Friendly staff. Super pleasantly surprised after seeing some questionable reviews about the cleanliness and smell of the room. Stayed on the second floor. It was very clean. I had zero complaints! I would stay again.

Horrible. Did not have reservation on file even though I had email to confirm my stay and said they were fully booked. Not helpful in any way.

Dirty. I mean absolutely disgusting. Poorly managed. Insufficient staff working at all times and extremely poor customer service. My coworker and i have stayed here numerous times for work. The only plus i can say about this place is the rooms were updated and are modern. But that had to be a few years ago now and the rooms are not cleaned properly and items are not replaced when they should be. Many of the ‘nice’ upgrades are beat up, tore up or dirty. This is not a one time experience, my coworker and I have gotten in the habit now of going and checking the room before carrying all if our stuff in. Today was the worst. when i pulled the sheets back on my bed there was a used condom in it. I dont think it gets much worse than that. I went to the office and just said calmly that there was a condom in my bed. The customer service rep didnt even acknowledge i spoke much less apologize. She asked another customer to come over, dealt with him and then after i waited a while said rudely ’ well we dont have any more two beds unless u want to downgrade’ i said thats ok as long as its clean. This is disgusting. I even asked her did she want to see the pic. She declined and gave us the new keys. Never once apologizing. Look at the pics i posted here. We took them over multiple times coming here but i just didnt have the time to write a review until now (or just wasnt upset enough). Dirty towels that looked like you changed your oil with them, pubic hairs in them, dirty tubs, cigarette burns in bedspreads and chairs. Light buttons from the light over the bed that obviously are not even wiped down (we bring our own clorox wipes)… And now s condom in the bed. Well we are finally DONE. Hope this review spared you some disappointment.

Very clean, very nice management, affordable, they allow dogs for no fee, but the breakers kept tripping and cutting everything off. That was fixed by not running lights and things at the same time as the air, so no biggie.
I like the quietness of the place. The location isn’t very close to much in walking distance, but one exit from a mall, restaurants, etc.
The price was super reasonable, the management was very kind and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.
Beware, though, the rooms are tiny! Upgrade if you can!

Don’t do it… the rooms have been updated, and they are not bad– but the area is pretty sketchy AND the staff is NOT HELPFUL. It’s kind of isolated and scary looking. It’s on a side road off of a side street off of a main road in some woods! They charged me twice for my reservation, and then the woman behind the desk didn’t know how to issue refunds. She advised me to keep calling back until I caught up with a manger. I called corporate, and they said they only take reservations and hung up the phone. My reservation was pretty inexpensive, $ 75, but I think you could get something better, safer, and more secure for the same price in that area. Nice room, but sucky establishment and location.

Easy check in
Rooms are modern
Only paid about $ 90 on a Saturday night!
Room was clean
Bed was comfy
It’s not a upscale place as we all know!
They gave us a snack box with popcorn, water etc, in refrigerator, Cute!

I stay here every so often. The hotel rooms were recently remodeled and it’s much nicer now. Smoke free, which is always a plus in hotel rooms. Convenient location to business in the area. If you’re looking for a nice place/​nice price, this is the place.

Of all the hotels in this price range, RRI has the worst wifi. 2 out of 7 nights can connect to it. Called customer support time after time after time, they don’t know what’s going on. If I had to guess, cut rate provider.

There are two Red Roof Inns in the area. This review is for the one in Hanover.
We paid just under $ 500 for a week’s stay here. It’s 10 minutes from BWI, 10 minutes from Columbia where we were visiting family, 5 minutes from a huge shopping mall, 1 minute from Timbuktu (an amazing fancy restaurant), and about 40 minutes from DC. There is not-​very-​good coffee and Coffeemate in the lobby.
We accidentally left our door ajar one day. Nothing was stolen.
The rooms were obviously newly remodeled. Overall we enjoyed our stay here, especially for the price.
Pros:
Wonderful service
Very nice front desk
Quick check-​in and check-​out
No problems finding parking spots
Fair price
Great location
Free wifi
No bugs or weird smells
Cons:
Not the quietest location (Right on the highway, and though the soundproofing was pretty good, a light sleeper might want to bring some earplugs)
Towels were extremely rough and stiff
No hair-​dryer or iron/​ironing board in the room, but the front desk has them to borrow if you ask
Some of the other customers were a bit, um… sketchy. I’m just saying there were a few stained white tank tops, and a lot of activity around midnight. They were nice enough folks and didn’t bother us, but if you’re nervous, there you go.
I will probably stay here again next time we visit Columbia, unless they raise their prices too much.

The place looks like any other Red Roof Inn motel on the outside. However, when you see the newly-​renovated room you would think you walked into a Hilton. They have new furniture, nicely-​finished laminate wood flooring and an modern designed bathroom vanity. The room was cleaned spotless and had a combination safe for valuables. The lobby has free coffee but no continental breakfast/​bagel bar. The standard room does not have a fridge, coffee pot, ironing board or microwave. However, you can upgrade your room to a king suite to get all these extra amenities. Rooms are smoke free and some can be pet friendly. The location is in a business park but Arundel Mills shopping, dining and Maryland Live! Casino are less that 5 miles away. You cannot beat the value you get with these very nice rooms for the money. Columbia is right down the road about 15 minutes away with more dining and shopping options. I will definitely be back when we come to visit friends and hit the casino again.

This Red Roof is a very new building and all the rooms are clean and new. I went there two times both as I made reservation by mistake as it was very close to the one I actually intended to book. The price is very reasonable. No elevator to second floor means you are carrying your luggage to second floor which I got both times. The older man who is the attendant at front desk is mean.

Very nice! Ron told us they were out of room size we wanted, but helped hook us up with what they had.
Animals stay here free! It’s a dedicated nonsmoking facility, with a $ 200 fee if you get busted! Yay! Room didn’t stink at all!
Pretty room with wood panel flooring, so less dust mites, too.
If you don’t contact them to let them know you did NOT use the room safe there is a $ 1.50 charge per night???
The tub is small with no slope, but plentiful hot water.
Although it’s by the freeway I didn’t hear any traffic noise at all, and the coffee is GOOD! No coffee maker in the room, but the lobby has thermoses. Went back for back for fourths, as the cups are very small. Maybe bring your own? No breakfast at all, not even room service.
Four stars because it was so cute, clean, and everyone was SO nice.

This was a great find for a last minute reservation via Hotwire. 50 dollars plus tax got two queen beds. Beds linens were crisp and clean and room very welcoming. Bathroom was equally clean. Plenty of hot water.
Convenient for travelers going through Baltimore area and close to I 95.

Was very skeptical about a Red Roof Inn but, took a shot because it was very close to Md Live Casino and the price was right ($ 60). I was worried about the smoke reviews on tripadvisor but check in went smooth (room 227) no smell at all and overall a very nice updated room.
If you’re on a budget, this is definitely a place you should consider. Thanks to the very friendly housekeeping staff. Bring your GPS, it’s a little hard to find at night, first time.
I am upgrading to 5 star because I left something in the room, called, and was called back immediate after they checked. That just doesn’t happen these days. Really great job. Kudos to housekeeping staff.

This place has decent staff and nice rooms. My biggest issue was I had to ask to be moved to a different room, because two guys on either side of my rooms decided to come out and smoke their cigarettes, so the smoke wafted into my doorway every time they did it. One guy was at least silent about it, but the other business man type decided to speaker phone his calls every time he went out to smoke!
Granted this isn’t generally the hotel’s fault, but if you’re going to advertise 100% SMOKE FREE on every square inch of your hotel, maybe you should be a bit more enforcing of your own rules/​guidelines.
The room they moved me too was nice. Not too shabby wireless, and free cable. Beds were big and comfy, but the a/​c was too much, so I barely turned it on half the time of my stay. Other than the crappy guests in the area, which are majority men, I think the hotel itself isn’t a bad stay for the price.

What a surprise to discover a newly renovated interior room along with lobby. It was done back in June of this year. A great stay for a week or so with willing and able staff who assist your needs. Stay here if you are on a tight budget but want some decent luxury.
One thing to consider: The wireless internet needs improvement… spotty and needs work.

If you just need a place to crash while in Maryland, stay here. It’s 100% smokefree, completely renovated with nice beds and clean, sleek furniture. Very close to the airport and super easy to get to (especially from the BWI rental car pick/​up). Right next to Gunning’s restaurant/​bar which has one of the best jumbo lump broiled crab cakes I’ve ever had.
It’s all the C-​words you want… cheap, clean, comfortable, and convenient. Keep you’re mind out of the gutter ;)

This hotel has been recently updated and the rooms are quite pretty. Probably the nicest bargain hotels I’ve stayed in.
