There's not much to like. Its not very clean. Constant sktechty people outside. Horrible TV channels / no cable. Their WiFi is incredibly low speed and signal strength. Theres a lot of parting going on in rooms. Shower doesnt drain properly, and shower head sprays water from the back stonger than the actual water that splashes you, due to the crack, which was just duct taped. Every single receptacle was damage and almosy coming out the wall. The microwave didnt work. And to top it off, it's NOT cheap. If I didnt get placed there from my company, I wouldve NEVER picked this place. I WOULD NEVER BRING CHILDREN HERE. I stayed twice, for 4 days each week.

Horrible Red Roof

You have maybe 5 channels that come in clear. The WiFi is incredibly slow. The room telephone doesn't work. The shower doesnt drain properly, and the shower head is cracked so it sprays from it. It's way to expensive for this kind of quality

I was taking a four day trip down to Columbus, Ohio and booked with the red roof. I was down there with my daughter. We arrived around 10:30 11 o’clock at night. When we first pulled in, I noticed at least four pitbull’s running around the front of the property. There were congregations of people outside, I immediately felt very unsafe. I was in an area far from home, not which way to go or what the best option was decided to go inside and out of fear. I held her the entire time when I asked the gentleman about the dogs running around this is a pet friendly and we do not control what goes on outside of his doors. I told him it was on his property and he seemed shocked, but not very concerned. I decided to check in to regroup and figure out what the best option for my daughter. When I got to the room, it was not clean. The toilet visibly looks like somebody had gotten sick previous and then noticed the inside of our door did not have a bottle lock I would back to the front desk and ask the gentleman if he had a different room that had an internal lock. I proceeded to tell him how unsafe I felt and how extremely scared I was to be staying at this place. His response wasthis is a shady area. There’s no way helped my concern of staying there. I had initially booked through Expedia, so it took me some time to contact a customer service where I explained the conditions and what was happening around me. I also want to make note that there was a man who is visibly on drugs who came u

This property should not be in business! Room was nasty, there were drugs being sold and used right out in the open in the parking lot. There was a lady that almost fell out in the parking lot by my room window. She was there all night and still there in the morning. I had to sleep with my window open to watch and make sure the tweakers in the parking lot didn’t touch my property.

I arrived and checked in and was given a room that had not been cleaned and was filthy - piles of dirty towels, feces ok toilet, etc. I asked for a new room and while the room had been cleaned , it was still dirty. The shower was disgusting and there was an open bag of potato chips behind my pillow. I was attending a concert so had no time to get a third room.

NOT a safe hotel for women

This is not a good property, and is NOT safe. The TV did not work, The room was dirty, including the floor was not mopped / cleaned. I opened the drawer for the nightstand and it was filthy inside - In addition there was a razor blade left in the drawer.

If i could give a NEGATIVE star rating, theyd get -10. The sewage smell outside was off-putting. Look up when you check in, the vent cover by thw desk is covered in rust. The carpet is expired and needs to be replaced My room had toilet paper stuck in the doors peep hole. There were stains on our sheets, a stain on the bed skirt, a stain on the curtain. The microwave was caked in a black film. There were toe nail clippings on the nightstand. And on the toilet...the outside of the toilet, there was human poop stuck to the bowl. To make matters worse, the night agent REFUSED to accommodate. Then later refused to inspect the room, we wsited until 3AM.

People not saying at the hotel gathered outside in groups. Just eyeing you down as you park and smoking outside. Our car threatened to be towed because we had no where to park so parked in a spot apparently apart of the other hotel directly next door in the same parking lot. The smoke alarm randomly sounded at 12 am in our smoke free room and we were terrified that we would be charged $200 for it going off. Incredibly dirty. Toilet didn’t want to flush after going #2 or sometimes #1 if you used slightly too much paper. Super unsafe area .
