Great Price for the Patient Traveler

Everything was fine except that the cleaning service "forgot" to clean my room 3 days in a row despite my request. Oversight or a worker working too fast. A great price for a great location.

Bit disappointed with red roof

The beds were flat, there were stains on the comforter, and the pillows were flat. I expected better from Red Roof; especially this one as it is extremely close to OSU and the Arena. Was one of the worst hotels I have stayed at.

Better than expected

I read some previous reviews that were not too great, but after staying here, I'm convinced that this place was just right for the price. It was clean, comfortable, and only a couple miles from the Nationwide Arena.

non smoking room

Even thro they were not that booked, the promised non-smoking room had a heck of alot of smokers in there previously. The smell of smoke was very strong. Front staff was very helpful in finding some street locations for me.

Red Roof Review

Great place for parents to stay for OSU orientation. Cheaper than most. Only one small pack of tissues on the counter . . . not enough for my cold I was having. Had to get hair dryer and iron from housekeeping.

ok

Rooms not cleaned daily, sinks not wiped, carpets not vacuumed, toilet dirty for the whole week. They offer Wi-Fi but no support for difficulty connecting to their router.
