This was a waste of my money and time now think at it I wish I had payed a little extra for the Marriott hotel Nextdoor instead maybe they would have had better hospitality. Just know Red Rood Inn I will never be booking a room anywhere with your franchises name. You should feel embarrassed for your guys poor performance.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My stay at the Red Roof Inn Plus+ was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The property appears to double as public housing, and it was noisy both day and night, making it impossible to get any rest. The housekeeping practices were unacceptable. I witnessed the housekeeping cart tip over into brown dirt outside. Instead of discarding the towels, the staff simply shook them off and continued using them in guest rooms. When I returned to my room later, my “clean” towel was brown from the dirt. Completely unsanitary. The front desk attendant showed no interest in being attentive or helpful. It was clear he was just going through the motions of a job he didn’t want. To make matters worse, at night he joined a group of friends hanging out in front of the motel, laughing loudly and taunting residents. It was uncomfortable and unprofessional.

The only thing clean in the room was the bed. It was dusty, the little table and the floor were dirty. There wasn't any toilet paper, we had to go ask for some. We left for the day on our second day and the room was not serviced while we were gone. Atleast there wasn't any bed bugs.

I booked 2 rooms with 2 queen bed then I got 1 room with king bed and the bathroom was very bad so horrible, water was coming out from under the toilet, the bathtub was stained and rusty. Arrived late at night and had no choice, I needed to sleep. I couldn't shower because I was so disgusted.That was not the room that appears when I booked online.

My son and I went to check in and I noticed that the whole place was in disarray. There were windows broken and boarded up. We checked in they walked us to the room.we went in , I see that the beds were broke, and there were dirty diapers on the floor, I refuse to stay there and asked for a refund. They said that they would. That emailed a receipt of zero charge to my card. And I had to find another hotel . This was absolutely the worst experience and am very disappointed .

Room was freshly painted, but truly needed cleaning. Dirt and grime in corners. Painters could have at least cleaned splatters on counter/furniture. No maid service. Wonder where my $100+ per night goes. Charge, of course, for smoking in your room, but the lobby REEKED of smoke. Stayed here out of lack of options as we're here on business, but will try to find someplace else in future.
