Red Roof Inn

They almost got the red roof right (it’s more of a brown). Everything else is wrong… We had a great rate, but that is the only reason why we ended up staying here after seeing the conditions.
I should have Unilocaled this place, the other reviews are dead on. You are better off sleeping in your car, in the parking lot– facing one of the other hotels that are next door. They are much nicer to look at than this place. Stay away–

Hotel was nasty, and the majority of the staff were rude. The first room they gave us smelt like mildew, and the second smelt of mothballs. There was also ‘red stuff’ in the bathtub of the second room; that’s when i asked for a refund and went elsewhere. This hotel is disgusting, and just not a good place to stay. Keep driving!

Not a pleasant stay at all. Room had some just unreal smell to it and needed to be painted and remodeled. No Wi-​Fi the entire time and the front desk did not try and resolve the problem either. Very expensive for a less than basic room. Very unsatisfied.

Got a smoking room… don’t mind a room being dated but room was not clean with hairs in the bed sheets and towels. Bathroom floor was severely Stained or seriously dirty. Most Red roofs are ok… maybe an issue with the cleaning lady and obviously the maids are poorly supervised.

Last holidays, we were visiting family out of town. Unlike when we were children, I didn’t have the luxury of lodging with family members. Not to mention, I brought my fiancé to visit. So we decided to book a room at the local Red Roof Inn. Well apparently it is a hit or miss when it comes to them. Unlike a previous experience in another city, this place was horrific. Tell me why our non smoking room smelled like a seasoned ash tray? The carpet had what appeared to be ‘trampled chewing gum’. The person working the counter seemed very pleasant however.

If you’re traveling through the Macon, GA area and have heard of a good
Red Roof Inn to stay at, it is NOT this one.
Smoking is allowed premise-​wide and is –not– restricted by floors, so your room may be ‘nonsmoking’, but it’ll still have that musty, funky stink. Upon entering our room for the night, we quickly found ourselves facing a severely outdated room with worn, dirty carpeting, a mildewy smell, and two small beds instead of the requested single queen. The sink and bathtub had –very– slow drains, and on our third-​story room, the window had neither a screen nor child-​proof locks.
On top of all this, I was awakened several times during the night by people messing with our door (jiggling the handle) and once just before dawn by a group of men in the parking lot revving their vehicle engines and screaming like they were fighting. I know the hotel can’t help situations like these, but travelers (especially those with small children) should know the neighborhood they’re thinking of staying in.
Keep in mind, there is another Red Roof Inn in Macon. It’s directly across the street from a Cracker Barrel, and it is –much– nicer and in a better part of town.

Front desk gentleman was NOT very friendly. In fact was «irritated» by my husband asking what the cheapest rate was and which direction the room was in. Room was nice but we did not like the attitude given by the desk clerk upon check in. Red Roof gets 1 star because he was not friendly. He was however very friendly to the caucasian customer who was checking in right before us.

This hotel is in serious need of a super-​hero sized overhaul in smell, furniture, and service accuracy. As my mission to Macon had me teamed up with a sidekick in training, we requested a room with two beds. Everything was fine until we checked in and covertly entered our lair-​for-​the-​evening when we discovered that there was only one queen bed. We were told when we inquired at the dest that the room had a fold out couch, which would be great for a Junior Apprentice, but not for a full sized side-​kick. It quickly became obvious that the staff worked for Dr. Evil because we were informed that it would cost more to get a room with two beds, which was not what we were told on the phone. After some ChanceDude style mind control on the clerk, we were finally given our room with two beds.
Upon arrivial in our new temporary headquarters, we discovered that our super hero senses detected super smelly mildew. While we suspected that we were placed in the smell-​zone intentionally in retaliation for complaining about the bed issue, we chose to hero-​up and deal with it. The following morning we discovered while making our power-​java that the coffe maker carafe didn’t fit the maker itself. Also, the room contained an ironing board, forcing us to venture out for the day incognito as we couldn’t be seen in wrinkled costumes.
The only redeeming quality of this particular secret hideout was that the continental breakfast surprized us with the availability of hard boiled eggs, a treat this NWO-​fighter has not seen previously. Also, the sidekick was quite taken with the morning desk clerk.
