This property was not clean inside or out. There was trash leading around the stairs leading to our second floor room. There were strange people hanging around the outside and a strong smell of marijuana around our room.

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.
