A little pricey but not awful

The motel room was clean, comfortable, and staff helpful. Coffee maker in room didn’t work, motel did not sell common sundries like aspirin, and no USB charging ports in room. A little overpriced but conveniently located to OSU facilities.

The lady at checkout was incredibly friendly and welcoming, absolutely zero complaints with the service quality. Room was a little small and I was bummed there was no mini-fridge, but overall it was a comfortable stay. I was mainly just there to sleep after going for a night out with a friend in town, and it definitely met my needs. They were doing some renovating, so I'm excited to see what it looks like after the updates if I visit again soon. Vending machines were a little overpriced was my only gripe. $4.50 for a Monster and $2.75 for a thing of crackers is rather steep.

We reserved the room in October 2024. We were there for a nationally advertised hockey game in Ohio Stadium. We arrived at 3:50 p.m. to check-in. The lobby was packed with people like us because the rooms with double beds were not yet cleaned. We were eventually given keys to the room at 5:15 p.m. It was still being cleaned. We almost missed the start of the game. We will never stay at another Red Roof Inn agsin@

Total disrepair

Check in at the desk went well, beyond that the stay was awful. Got to the room and the toilet was clogged. Called down about it, wait about a half hour and a guy handed me a flimsy plunger and walked away. Doors are busted up, everything is stained, beds uncomfortable. Paying more than $200 one night is ridiculous.
