Pros:

we couldn’t stay here. we left early because we felt unsafe and everything in the room seemed stained. the woman who checked us in seemed very nice and the parking lot was well lit with security cameras. but couldn’t get over the condition of the rooms and we think we saw bullet holes in a door.

Pros:

Room 244
We asked for a fly swatter and they said they didn’t have one. We asked about the tv not working and they said none of the tvs were working due to internet. We told her the room was filthy and she didn’t respond. I think it very odd that she has a sign up saying after 15 minutes no refunds, never have seen that at a hotel. I thought Red Roof was reputable but this experience has changed my mind. They have people living there and abandoned cars parked there.

Pros:

The Hotel Room was in terrible condition. Light switches worked intermittently. Crumbling drywall and floor trim eroding and falling apart. Floor was dirty and had several bugs.

I have stayed at this place before and just want a cheap but clean place to stay overnight. But this is the very worse condition I have seen at this place. At least have the Coffee ready in the morning.

Pros:

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. We booked 3 rooms for homecoming game.

1 room -Tv remote is broken. Not enough pillows. Stains all over bedding, marks on walls. Super strong weed smell, sink would not drain

2 room - stains all over bedding and marks on walls and exposed wiring, no locking latch on doors, no smoke detector

3 room - broken toilet, will not flush (literally no handle to flush) Broken lamps, missing shades, paint on floor, stains all over bedding, marks all over walls, not enough pillows, water was turned off, not locking latch on door

It was so bad that the hotel offered to refund us for one of the rooms and we still have not seen it come through.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!

Pros:

Hands down the worst dump I’ve ever stayed in. Dirty roach infested. Parking lot worse than the surface of the moon. Corporate Red Roof should step in and get rid of these owners and tear this place down. Not enough room here to list all the problems.

Pros:

This room was very dirty. There was fecal matter, splatter on the inside, back of the sit down part of the toilet seat that we didn’t see until late that afternoon. Went down complained and we received our money back for the room. By the way, they did not offer to come and clean it because their house cleaning staff was gone for the day.We would never stay at this place again. Staff was friendly upon arrival and with the complaint. we would’ve left, but it was college homecoming game night and all the hotels in the town was booked.

Pros:

2 of the 3 lamps don’t have a bulb. The phone has no cord and doesn’t work. The tv doesn’t work. The bathtub is visibly stained and dingy. The sealing is peeling off the door and hanging infront of it. There are many stains on the walls and doors. At least the air conditioner works.

Pros:

Disgusting property and very unsafe. Wires hanging out of the walls. Filthy. Wreaked of cigarettes. I will never ever stay at this chain again. We were in the room for 5 mins and left and stayed with friends. It was absolutely awful.

Pros:

Dirty and unsafe for one big reason: the air conditioner was astonishingly full of black mold.
This is not a small amount, I mean looking into the vent probably took a year off my life. After turning it off and wearing a mask, we left a full 5 hours before checkout.

I understand if you have business troubles, but you need to check each air condition and -REPLACE- each one, do not attempt to clean them. They need to be replaced before your hotel is declared unfit for human habitation.
