    My boyfriend and I went to a shutdown job in Blytheville Arkansas for 8 days. We had the worst experiences in the motel industry management. That Indian manager needs to just go back to India, coming from this Native American woman. He was the rudest of the rudest and mean. He doesn't care about customers, he only cares about making money, greedy **... We were given dirty stained towels, the bathroom light didn't work. We were working night shift, so they never even bother go come and clean when we leave and the maids were still there.

    One morning, we were so tired so just went to sleep and here comes the manager beating on our door, almost broke the door and screaming saying that we had to pay the room and it's after 11 am. He knows we work night shift and we were going to pay him when we got up. He scared me from his screaming, so we just left. I told him to go back to India. LOL. So, if you ever have to go to that hell hole town, don't stay at Red Roof Inn. He made that name terrible. The best Red Roof Inn, I've stayed at was, Corpus Christi, Texas and a town near Albuquerque, New Mexico. That man is an idiot. PERIOD.

    This place doesn't even deserve one star! I made a reservation online for the Mt Laurel, NJ location for 1 week. The problems started before I even showed up. When I made the reservation, I was advised the price was $490 for the week and that check-in time was 3pm. I know that I would not be able to check in by 3pm, so I put a credit card on file to hold the room for a later check-in. I still wanted them to know that I would be checking in around 6pm, so I called to location & spoke to the nastiest, rudest and most ignorant person I've ever come across... Ricky! When I asked him if 6pm was ok, he got really nasty. So I tried to just ignore it and go about my day. Then I showed up at the hotel & dealt with his rude ** again. First, he tried to charge me more than what I told online. When I questioned it, he got nasty & said he didn't know why in the most condescending way.

    When I told him I needed to speak with customer service, he said, "Good. You do that." When I called him rude, he proceeded to say, "Bye. I thought you were leaving?" It took everything in me not to punch him. When I tried to take paperwork that he had me sign & that had MY person info on, he threatened me with violence. I was done. I walked out & called customer service. After speaking to customer service, the customer service guy was able to ascertain that Ricky was in fact charging more money than he was supposed to and was advised that I should compensated some free night or, at least, be given a weekly rate (not sure why I wasn't given that when I booked for A WEEK)!

    Anyway, I was advised that I needed to speak with local management to see about any compensation. Today, I get an email from the general manager apologizing but advises that he can't get give an compensation. So the moral of the story is... if you want, in my opinion, a dumpy hotel with pi$$ poor management & beyond rude and entitled employees, stay here. I don't recommend this place to anyone!!

    We stayed at Red Roof Inn (River St. Cortland, NY) from August 11 (Friday Night) and August 12 (Saturday Night). We check-in in the midnight (i.e. Friday) and we left on the Saturday morning to see nearby places. We left some of our luggage in the hotel room itself, thought it is safe while leaving in the morning. When we return in the evening I didn't find one of my items which is a small cover which has used clothes (expensive and one-time used clothes) in it. As soon as I didn't find my item I gave a complaint in the reception.

    So the receptionist contact room service staff about my lost item when they do room service after we left the room in the Saturday morning. She said they didn't took any items from the room. She/Management are not trusting the customers. However they are trusting their staff members rather than customers. They are also not responding properly and whenever I called to their managers number she is not available to pick the call. They didn't even give the credit for the lost item. Bad Management and Bad Service!

    My son and I went on vacation July 4th through July 7th and stayed at Red Roof Inn in Arlington, TX. At first we found the room satisfying, but on our 3rd night I was awake every hour or so with extreme itching. I just thought it was mosquito bites. By the time I got home later that day, I had hundreds of bites that itched so bad I was in tears. I called the hotel after learning I had bed bug bites and was treated like I was lying since I didn't lodge a complaint at checkout. He took my contact info and promised a call back later that day.

    I've been waiting for a callback for nearly a month now. I ended up with skin infections all over my arms and legs and discovered a few days ago I brought them home with me. An exterminator is coming out this week and has quoted me anywhere from 600 to 4000 dollars to get rid of them. I have a new set of bites and my 3 kids and my husband and I are living in our living room. I'm dehydrated from all the tears I've cried over this. We are working class and I'm having to cash out some of my 401k just to pay for this mess. I may have to talk about options with a lawyer, but haven't decided on that course of action yet.

    I was unable to connect to the wifi. Called the front desk and was repeatedly insulted from the manager that I perhaps was lame and couldn't correctly input the password. After the banter back and forth he informed me that he would "put me out on my bum." I couldn't believe my ears. I then went to the front desk with my iPad hoping to resolve the issue... and said, "Really, you're going to put me out on my bum?" He said, "Absolutely" and I then replied, "You, a little peon?" And he called the sheriff to have me removed... Never in my life has anything happened like this. I returned to my room waiting for the sheriff but to no avail did one show up to my room. Miraculously, I put the same password in that was given to me and it worked albeit that's why I am able to document this occurrence. I believe that I was scammed.

    We stayed at the Red Roof in Knoxville for 4 nights. We were pleased with the room. The floors and walls could have been cleaner, but the sink, tub, toilet and mini fridge were all clean. The bedding was clean and comfortable. The pool was nice as well. There was breakfast and the staff was courteous. We would stay again.

    Red Roof Inn Vernon Connecticut: DO NOT STAY HERE. Not Even A One Star. My husband was booked into a room that had just been used by two of the staff members!!! Upon entering the room he knew why there was all the laughs when checking in, first didn't have a room and then did. Paid cash $91.00 that the two girls & man at the counter probably split between them. Went back to office to get my money back and shift was changed. Two girls were leaving and woman with India heritage was at counter and would not refund his money. She told him "your hair is messed up" you used the room. He said "after driving 14 hours yeah my hair is messed up."

    He did not use the room. Was in the room 10 minutes, wet towels on floor in bathroom and bed pulled up but not made. Woman was very rude, refused to give his money back and kept calling him a old man (white hair). He said he would call police, she said "go ahead." He explained we ran 4 star motel for 7 years and her response was "then why are you staying at a Red Roof Inn?" Terrible terrible motel and will be contacting corporate offices this morning. Tried to call the Vernon Red Roof Inn to speak to manager but the mail box is full and you cannot even reach anyone to even leave a message.

    I must say this is the worst customer services that I have experience in my life. The ** guy who claimed he the manager the worst manager that I have met. Doing my three days they did change the bed, clean the room or give supplies. When I tried to extend the stay the guy told me if I can make it there by 5:30. He can extend the stay and I pay with cash. When I made it there the front desk had been missing for an hours and he charge my credit card. The front desk lady told me "it's charge. What do you want me to do. Do you want to go find somewhere else to stay." I told her they was being rude on purposes and not to share my information with all of the other customers in the lobby. She made gesture and say "well I can give you your money back and you can stay somewhere else."

    I been trying to help my friend get back on his feet so I been renting a room for the both of us trying to get his health back together. They put him out because they told him they did not like my attitude. Because they told me they wasn't going to charge my credit card and gave us sheet to change our own bed that did not match the bed. This is the worst experience that anyone can experience. The lady and the ** man extremely rude. They should be fired like now. The other worker extremely nice but those two extremely rude and disrespectful. I ask for a manager so that I can complain on them but they kept saying they was the manager. Please contact me as soon as possible.

    We reserved a room online at this Red Roof Inn in Cedarville, PA. We arrived about 8 pm. There were hardly any cars in this massive parking lot. I wondered if it was still in business. I was disappointed in the room. Door stuck on the rug trying to open it. Door latches were in bad repair. Door latch to the next room was falling off the frame. You could hear the people in the next room talking and snoring. When they turned on the faucet it was like it was your bathroom. Pillows were hard and too thick. Faucet dripped constantly in the bathtub. You can hear the interstate traffic going by. I would not recommend staying at this hotel. Was cheap but not worth it.

    Understanding that we live in the age where skin color does make a difference in how you are viewed. Today was a true testimony of how racism still exists. Particularly at 29595 Clemens. We had just pulled into the parking lot (12 people) and in the process of us discussing how our workflow went, the night clerk came flying from his office yelling profanity at us to get in our rooms immediately. We asked why was he talking to us with such aggression and demeaning and his response was he didn't give a ** and that he was getting too many complaints about the noise. Mind you, we had just pulled in and it wasn't even 10 minutes that we were in the parking lot when he came after us.

    He then proceeded to call the police on us cause we were apparently not dropping down to his level of ignorance. The police came and we were forced to vacate the premises immediately. Our company uses this company often when we travel from NYC. This is just a testimony that hotels like Red Roof have no business in dealing with the public at all. Their license should be revoked immediately. Their organization NEEDS to be trained in public relations and basic human rights.

    Our first experience at a Red Roof Inn. My first impression as we got off the elevator was that the carpet in the hall was gross and worn out and has what appeared to be white paint on it. We arrive in the room and first thing I want to do is shower after a long day of being outdoors so I go ahead and do so. As I'm getting dressed at the bedside I have what appears to be a piece of black dirt on my feet so I tell my husband when you shower do not step on the floor so he uses the bath mat to scoot to the bed. It was disgustingly dirty! We also found what appeared to be marks on the bedsheets like dry something maybe blood stain and on the reverse of the pillow case it had a spot the size of a back of someone's head that was brown. Eeww eeww. Unfortunately we had to stay at this place but NEVER EVER again!

    Stayed at Red Roof Inn from May 11-16, 2017. The first room was moldy smelling and had mold in the shower with rust coming from the bathtub. I was moved to another room the next day. The tub and sink drained slowly. I had to stand in water when taking a shower. The toilet has a poor flush. You had to wait about 5 minutes between flushes. The staff was nice but the facilities were in disrepair.

    I made a reservation for one night June 2nd at Red Roof Inn in Memphis TN for a nonsmoking room. Price was close to $70. When we got there on the 2nd to check in, we were told that the new nonsmoking building requires a $100 deposit! Since we were using our debit card it would be 10 days before we could get it back. What??? Oh they did have a room in the regular section but could not promise it had not been smoked in. We looked at the room for kicks and it was disgusting! Smelled of smoke and I would not have let my worst enemy sleep there. We told him we wanted to cancel and he agreed. We had not yet paid and I am very glad of that. We went across the street and got a very nice room for a fraction more. Do NOT stay at this Red Roof.

    We rented this room that the floors were dirty. They don't sweep or mop the floor. I had taking tissues and napkins to clean the floors from someone else spills. My husband has gotten bitten by a Spider or some bug on his arm, swelled up from this bite and the manager is claiming it was from somewhere else. But we haven't stayed anywhere else but here. The cleaning people don't clean properly. They don't clean the bathroom at all while you're in the room and you're lucky to get it clean while your stay in it.

    I received the worst service anyone can get from any owner, or manager of a hotel. I went in to the Lithonia location August 2016 to book 10 rooms for my memorial weekend May 2017. The owner Ms. ** never booked the rooms like I thought she had. I visited the hotel on 3 different occasions. Here it is a month before my event, I'm not even on the book, and they say they don't have any record of me making any reservation. The owner also gave me permission to use the lobby area for my meet and greet. I sent out reunion letters last year with this info on it. Now at the last minute I have to go scrambling to find rooms elsewhere not to mention the aggravation of trying to find another venue for the meet and greet. I've never had such a headache. This is extremely unprofessional. I will never ever use, or recommend Red Roof Inn, and will make sure I post this on social media.

    My husband were driving home from Florida and started looking for a hotel room in South Carolina. This is on April 8th which was a Saturday. We stopped at the Best Western and Hampton Inn and they were booked. So reluctantly we went to Red Roof Inn next from the other two hotels. Since they had two rooms left we stayed for the night. My complaint is the price was ridiculously high at $151.00 for the night. Checking online I see the prices are only between $60 to $80 a night on a Saturday.

    I believe I was charged double because there were no other available rooms anywhere else in town that night. Is this legal? Maybe not ethically not right. On top of the high price, the hotel was crappy. It smelled everywhere. The water in bathtub did not go down and the toilet seat was broke. This hotel was the pits. It was in Yemassee South Carolina. I paid less money for a Sheraton and Embassy Suites on our trip which wonderful hotels compared to Red Roof Inn. Thank you.

    My reason for this review is to make people aware of how the Red Roof Inn is and how they treat their customers! My family and I made reservations there for the 3rd of April and we were going to check out on the morning of the 4th. However when I walked into the room it was nasty and looked nothing like the picture on their site! The beds looked like they had been slept in and the sheets weren't changed. We were on the 4th floor and the window was open and I have a small child! I immediately went downstairs and complained about the room and told them I would like another room like the picture when I was informed they didn't have one. I wasn't about to keep the room I had so we checked out. Mind you I checked in at 12:52 pm and checked right back out at 1:06 pm.

    The women at the front desk didn't want to refund me my money and told me I would be charged a cancellation fee from Booking.com which is how I booked my room. So after a few days of going back and forth with Booking.com and listening to the hotel's lies about how they tried to accommodate me and that I agreed to pay the cancellation fees also how after I checked out I didn't return my key but did leave the property but returned (after sending to Booking.com a copy of what time I checked into my other hotel) to the hotel and stayed on their property for an additional 4 to 5 hours... ALL LIES! I said all that to say this. Do not stay at this hotel! They are rude, nasty and privately owned and no matter how much proof you have they will not refund you your money!

    Upon check-in at a Red Roof Inn in mid-March 2017, the desk clerk asked for both my debit card and my driver's license when I checked in. When I asked where the pool was, he told me to walk down the hall to see. Within 2 days, I attempted to use my debit card and it was declined. It was late on a Saturday, so I could not contact my bank for 2 days. I had no internet reception as I was on vacation and the wifi was not connecting, so I could not check my bank account. When I was able to contact my bank and go online to check my account, there was a number of fraudulent charges, several hundred dollars! I contacted my "card services" representative and closed the card.

    PRIOR to contacting Red Roof Customer Service I called the motel and asked for the manager. I was told the manager was no longer employed there. I then asked whether the desk clerk on duty the day I checked in was or would be available, and I was told that employee was no longer employed there! I then stated I did not receive a statement for my charges and asked to have the statement sent via email. What is interesting is that my debit was NOT charged for the stay at the motel. I was told the "new" manager would be in later that day and would call me. I never got a phone call. I filed a complaint with Red Roof "guest relations" and now almost 2 weeks later NOTHING from them. I did receive a very condescending email from the new manager of the motel which was the typical "we are sorry your experience was not what you expected" response!

    WARNING to anyone considering staying at a Red Roof Inn, do not take your eyes off of your debit or credit card!!! Their employees are not honest! They caused me to cut my vacation short by 2 weeks because I did not have sufficient cash to continue! I am now filing the necessary paperwork to prove fraud, and I will find out who/where the former employee and manager are! If Red Roof Inn does not contact me to try and rectify the situation I will pursue what legal remedy there is. I only used my debit card twice following the Red Roof Inn event, and have contacted those establishments, who satisfied my questions and am convinced it was Red Roof Inns! DO NOT TRUST RED ROOF INNS!!!

    I rented a room for 3-4 nights and paid for every night. I was in office every morning. No one ever complained to me at all. All of a sudden I came home from work last night with police at the door saying we had to leave due to the noise. Someone complained about the dogs and etc. Not 1 time did they call me and say a word or mention any noise complaints but 18 people in the room in room 121 in and out all hours of the night from 9 pm to 5 am made a complaint. No evict for them. No cops at their door. But we had friends visit and when anyone knocks on doors dogs will bark. However it's a pet friendly hotel lmao.

    If you don't want noise go to a hotel with no dogs and you put us all out on the streets our happy home wasn't done but that's because ignorant people can't handle noise. Go to a hotel that's not pet friendly or one with no kids. Whoever complained better be happy that me and my 3 kids are now living on the streets. Thanks to all of you who complained and I want every damn dime back I paid for the rooms which never got cleaned the 3 days I was there... never got a receipt for any of my stays either like they said and charged more than quoted. Rooms were not very well temp controlled.

    For the money and area I give it a 0000000. It really is not as advertised. People beware. It isn't as it says it is. If you don't check out on time they harass you and threaten you... people in office are discriminatory and I plan on pushing that.

    Horrible experience, staff lied to us, place was disgusting. As Chief of a Search and Rescue Team, I had reserved 4 rooms for myself and members of my team for training. There were two additional rooms other member took care of themselves. Upon contacting the Hotel the first time I was informed that they had a full breakfast bar. Even photos online of the property shows this. They DID NOT have any form of breakfast. There was a Orange and Apple juice machine, However, there was no juice for them. This was a major factor in reserving this Hotel. The elevator was broken. Ice Machines were out of service. Guest Laundry was out of service. The door locks were broken on 5 of these rooms.

    In all rooms there were issues with wall plugs being pulled out from the wall. In all rooms there were issues with the Tub drains. In all rooms there were issues the very hard and uncomfortable beds. In all rooms there were issues with lamps having blown bulbs or lamps were broken. This is one of the worst experiences I have ever had with any Red Roof Inn. Very disappointed with this stay.

    Stayed in Galveston. Was greeted by Toby. He was very friendly and helpful. His last words to us as we headed to our room was "Call if you need anything, anything at all. Just pick up the phone and dial 0." We get to our room after a full day of sight seeing so my husband goes to take his shower first. When he gets done I go to take mine. That's when I realize we were only given one wash cloth and he had used it. So I pick up the phone to dial "0". The room phone did not work. My husband pulled the bed out to see if it was unplugged. Checked all the connections. Still do not work so I used my cell phone and went thru the automated system. Finally a woman answered. I told her our room number and that we needed more towels and wash cloths. She said okay. I used the corner of my towel to take my bath and off we went to eat and hit the beach.

    Over two hours later we returned to our room to find no extra towels or wash cloths. Called again from my cell phone having to go all thru the automated system again. Finally got to talk to the same woman again about not getting our extra linens yet. She told me they were booked and had to do extra loads of laundry and a load was in the dryer. As soon as they were done she would have someone bring them up. Got ready for bed. Went to brush my teeth and a roach starts climbing up the wall right next to me. Killed it because I did not want it climbing in our bed during the night. No one ever showed up that first night.

    When we went down to eat breakfast, I stopped at the front desk and told a different man about what happened the night before. He said when they got there that morning a load of laundry was left in the dryer from the night before and as he spoke a woman came around a corner pushing a cart/bag loaded with unfold towels and wash rags so I believe him. He said he would have extra left in our room that day. We left and went metal detecting all day. Got back to our room to find it had been cleaned but not a single extra towel or wash rag had been left. This time my husband let me use the wash rag and he used half of his towel. We went to eat and when we got back we packed up and left. We had stayed at a Red Roof Inn in Pensacola FL with our dog and that experience was pleasant so we had not second thoughts about staying in one again, but after this experience we will not be staying at one again.

    On the second day driving back from our vacation we drove until we reached the Red Roof in Harrisburg that we had been in the week prior only to discover that the price was 40$ more. This brought the total cost over $100, more than we paid for any other hotel on our trip and those all included some type of breakfast, a coffee machine and in some even a fridge. We were very disappointed. We felt victims of a price hike which we were told was due to an event in town. We do not plan to return to any other Red Roof after this incident.

    Red Roof Inn, Fulton, NY - First of all I was quoted, on the phone, a price of $59.99/night, plus tax. When I got there, she charged $69.99/night, plus tax. Secondly, it took about 10 minutes for the water to get hot. Also, the fire alarm was hanging from the ceiling (I'm not sure if it was working).

    Red Roof Inn Austell, Ga lies to keep your money. On Saturday, February 25 I reserved a room through Expedia. Upon calling to confirm I spoke with a female at the desk, around 11:40 pm and was advised that there were no rooms available. I told her that I have been charged and I was reassured that since there was no room available my reservation had not been accepted and I would not be charged.

    The following day I noted in my bank account that I was charged. I called immediately and was told by another female that the manager was not in and they would call me back the following Monday. She told Michael from Expedia this as well. Monday and Tuesday go by no calls. Wednesday I receive an email from Expedia stating on two separate occasions that the manager refuses to refund my money claiming I was a no show. If there were no rooms available and I was told it would be cancelled, what purpose is it for me to come? Expedia continues to apologize but basically can do nothing but allow this manager to lie. It is very very poor customer service to tell people there are no rooms available, then lie and manipulate the situation in order to keep money I paid for services I did not receive due to circumstances beyond my control.

    December 2016 I booked and prepaid for lodging @ Red Roof Inn Orlando FL. I paid $619.00 for two rooms for Feb 15th - 19th 2017. On January 31st I contacted them to cancel my reservations, I called the Inn and was told that my rooms would be canceled and I would have to talk to manager about my refund. The manager wasn't in so I would have to call back. This went on for several days and finally after insisting I spoke with the manager. He refused to refund my payment. Reason was that I prepaid and was given a "Special Rate" and did not qualify for refund.

    I had booked through Expedia show I contacted them. They also contacted the Inn and after much runaround they spoke to manager who again refused my refund. Expedia said it's up to them to refund the $$$. I have contacted Red Roof Corporate Office and I'm waiting for answer. I will not stop.

    I booked a room at Red roof inn north in Tucson. They never told me there was a no cancellation policy. I lost my job and then a tree fell on my house. I called to Expedia to cancel, they told me of the no cancellation policy but the man I spoke to said they would give me a full refund. A few days later I got an email saying they would not refund my $354.00. I called approx 3 weeks before to cancel so they had plenty of time to rent the room. If I had known I wouldn't get a refund I would have just taken some of my friends and at least not had to pay the whole bill myself and we would have had some fun. They blamed it on Expedia but the hotel was the one who collected the money. I would never have stayed if I'd known they had a no cancellation policy. I will never use Red Roof Inn again. You would really think they would try to improve customer relations instead of getting bad reviews.

    As staff in a local social agency on January 25, 2017, I arranged a room for a 70 year old mother and her adult daughter in need at the Red Roof Inn in Statesboro, GA. I had secured accommodations previously for others in need without problems. Since the general manager was not on-site, the front desk connected me with him by phone. He agreed to invoice my agency on January 26 and that I would pay by check and thus avoid the his costs for payment via credit card.

    The ladies provided ID and were given a room key. When they entered their room they were horrified at the condition of the beds. These ladies had slept in their car for the previous three weeks and were exhausted. They contacted the front desk regarding the problem. The response was not satisfactory and ended with them being told rudely that if they were dissatisfied they should call the man that had brought them and have him get them a room in another place. They expressed embarrassment in calling me and did not want to seem ungrateful for assistance.

    I went to their room... supposedly a non-smoking room that a terribly strong smell of tobacco. I checked the pillows and sheets. They were incredible! I took pictures. You will find them attached. No one regardless of their situation should be treated as they were. I turned in the room key. Even though it was evening, I was able to secure a room for them.

    The manager managed to escalate a simple misunderstanding into a full blown argument. Two weeks ago I spent a week at the Red Roof. Clean rooms, only interaction w/ staff was the second day. Housekeepers were pounding on my door and the maintenance man let himself in telling me to leave because unknown to me the information the desk attendant had entered in the computer was was wrong and I was due to check out then and not 5 days from then which is what I paid for the night before. I got over it.

    I checked in last night, again for a week. I made clear because of the last time being woken up literally 7 times. "Please make sure the information is correct this time." Well the front desk called waking me up. I'M frustrated now. They need my license or other verification for my credit card. They had 2 forms of ID last night when I checked in. The attendant apparently misunderstood my voice probably projected the frustration with the office but he took it personally and slammed the phone down before I finished telling him first shift should have relayed that I will be in at 3:30 after work. So after work I walk in and immediately ask why he would hang up like that. I was being as nice as I could. I was aggravated.

    To my amazement the manager walks out of the back room, hearing the heated conversation that should already be over!!! Between the attendant and I. The manager starts yelling over our conversation, claiming he was told I was rude. Truth was he asked his employee to call me. Again shortly after his employee printed out an invoice showing the manager was wrong. Which explains why he was angry. I got an apology from the attendant but the manager felt screaming at me solved his problem... He should be fired. It's obviously the way he solves miscommunications. He was shockingly unprofessional.

The downside to this is CEOs like (Booking. com) and (Priceline.com) have no respective way of remove these nasty owners whom to followup on how to keep their businesses order that's why most site don't want to give refunds. We even sent pictures. Also we gave the manager a big bag of hair sheets and all she wanted to do is hurry to cleaning them not give us our money make $156.78.

Thanksgiving banging and construction again at 8:30 9:00 am. Walkway blocked by a ladder to do painting. Key cards again didn't work. We had to go get it reprogrammed. No iron board, iron, microwave, hair dryer. Friday was locked out again. Was told we only paid for three days. They charged us for Tuesday, we arrived Wednesday am. They said they fixed it, and wouldn't be charged an extra day. My kid's room was never cleaned the three days we were there.

    Saturday checked out. Received a bill with three rooms charged for four days. Explained we weren't supposed to be charged the fourth day and we only had two rooms. They said I have to call customer service. Customer service gave me corporate number. Corporate can only take off the first day, for all three rooms. That wasn't supposed to be charged to us anyway. The next day Red Roof put through three more transactions. I called them and they said it wasn't them. Call my bank. I called my bank and they said it was stating Red Roof. Now an investigation is underway. The worst experience of my life. I will never ever go to another Red Roof again. The place was dirty and no one knows what to do.

She basically kicked me out of the hotel because I didn't want the staff coming in to clean when I was not in the room. I am working in the area from 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m Sunday-Wednesday. She basically stated that it is their policy to come in to ensure the "assets" twice per week.

    How does she explain the stink of cigarette smoke that knocked me down when I entered the room or the broken dresser drawer that was broken when I checked in because they check the "assets" twice per week? I am a working professional with a cat. Unless she thought there was a dead body in the room, I don't know why she thinks she needs her staff to be in my room when there are loud rowdy construction workers staying here that are significantly more disruptive.

Being that the heat was off and it was 37 outside and we were going to Fright Fest we turned it on high to 79 degrees. We got back to the room about 4 hours later and after going to the Speedway across the street where we were asked if we wanted "pills or trees" by a fine gentleman whose child was in the car with him we walked into an ice cold room that was blasting cold air!! NO HEAT. No one was at the desk and when we checked out we were told the manager would probably "comp" the room and would call me - never did. I called twice then at 6:30pm after I was told he "left out for the night". I said I wanted corporate's number which he gave me but it was wrong.

    I suddenly got a callback - just said he was the manager and when I asked for a name he ignored me and started asking me what I needed. I told him to which he replied that the "dials can be tricky". I said I was college educated and can turn on heat and there were no dials then he backtracked and said "well I had maintenance check it out first thing this morning and he said it was fine so I don't know what the problem was." I asked him to go check personally and he said he would and call me right back.

    About 3 min later he called and said it came right on for him, at this point he was getting to be argumentative and I said I wasn't lying and we had no heat. He proceeded to tell me that "I don't know what to tell you but I ain't giving no refund if that's what you looking for." I said that's fine I will contact corporate. He responded with, "You can call all day long but they ain't giving you no refund neither." By then I had it with the insults and the disrespectful tone and the Ebonics so I said, "Wow you are **."

    We were visiting family in the Little Rock area and checked in on Thursday and checked out the following Monday. PROS: Dog-friendly, indoor plumbing, working electricity. CONS: room keys failed to work consistently. Rooms smelled absolutely disgusting, the carpets haven't been steam cleaned in forever (my son's white socks turned dark brown after walking on the carpet for an hour). The window to our room (on the first floor) did NOT LOCK. There was no safe in the room. The deadbolt to the room wasn't operational. The air conditioner hadn't been serviced or cleaned properly by an HVAC technician - it blew out disgusting smoking residue foul-smelling air into the room (this was a non-smoking room).

    The bed was soft, hard, and lumpy all at the same time. The sheets used as a bottom sheet didn't fully cover the mattress. The top sheet covering the duvet smelled like urine, and when it was pulled back the urine stain on the duvet was revealed (very gross). The drain in the shower was clogged with someone else's hair and body particulate. The fan in the bathroom was non functioning. The wifi never worked. The breakfast was pathetic (and they would run out of coffee!!!! ). I found a plate of food in the microwave (THAT WAS A PREVIOUS GUEST's) that smelled horrible, and the POOL? A RAZOR BLADE was found poolside when we went out to splash, and lastly, there is a car without wheels, on blocks in the parking lot.

    Wait, maybe lastly should be that there was always some guy hanging out in the front lobby on the couch or the chairs, and at one point, he was laying on the couch, with his barefeet, as if he was in the privacy of his own house. Was this the manager, Devo **? Could be. Normally, I would bring all of these issues up to the hotel and ask them to make it right, however, I didn't see the point in this particular case. The first room we were originally assigned, I lasted maybe 10 seconds in there before I turned right back around and went back to the front desk asking for a new room because of the horrific ODOR.

    My PROS and CONS above are based on the New & Improved room I was assigned. Due to safety issues, I brought the attention of the razor blade up immediately with the front desk staff who seemed to respond with haste to the safety concern (kids out on the pool deck, etc.). What you also need to know is the kind of neighborhood this hotel is in. I was traveling alone with my 9 year old son and our toy breed dog. My husband later joined us in the weekend once he was off of work.

    I was extremely concerned about my safety as a guest here, as I was addressed EVERY TIME I went outside to walk my dog by men staying at the hotel, men walking by on the street, or just random men loitering across the street behind some industrial buildings. They would walk over to me, or slam on their brakes and start talking to me from their vehicle, or hang out in their vehicle and call to me from across the parking lot: "Hey baby, looking good!" "Hey beautiful, whats your name? Come over here and talk to me!" Really? Like I am actually paying money for this experience.

    On one side of the hotel is a daycare that has a travel van with the back windows busted out and at least one flat tire. Behind the hotel is what looks to be low-income apartments, at least, that is what I gleaned from the looks of the automobiles going in and out of the apartment complex - broken windshields, bumpers dragging, older model vehicles blasting loud club music. During the day and night, there are always people walking up and down the street in front of the hotel, as the street in front of the hotel is the main conduit to the shell station at the corner, and the Mcdonald's across the street. Walking is a verb I use loosely here, as most were swaying back and forth looking like they were about to fall over into the street or oncoming traffic at any time. I'm no stranger to poverty and I know ghetto. This was that and so much more. Caveat emptor.

    This was the letter submitted to Guest Relation Management with resolution, apology or even refund offered. If there was one issue I could have avoided but being there was countless issues and one complaint and the outcome was beyond unprofessional and disrespectful. Please read below all the events that has taken place at this establishment for the 5 months I have stayed at this location. This matter was not resolved nor addressed just ignored. Then I was abruptly asked to leave since they could not satisfy me? As if in over 5 months they heard from me but accepted my money. Obviously unavoidable issues never addressed below nor even a respectable call to address or rectify my claims. I am in the process of taking this to a higher level until I receive not only a apology but a refund since my hard earned money for a peace of mind. Clean room was not met nor was it top priority.

    To Whom it may concern: I am staying at your BWI Airport location and I have had several unfortunate situations occur since being here. From leaving my room only to return to find the ceiling full of mold and bacteria almost covering the whole ceiling over the bed area, to the bath tub full of rust and hairy mold, changing rooms then in this room, to floor soaking wet from the ceiling, water fall that came down onto my clothing in bags were soaking wet from upstairs room sink overflow. I had to actually go to laundromat to wash and dry my clothes "no offer" for compensation to wash here on premises, to "NOW" fungus mushrooms growing out of the air conditioning units???

    I have small pets - a Yorkie who is 10 pounds and Imperial Shih Tzu who is 4 pounds and they have been sick since Thursday, vomiting and sluggish. We did not know why. At this point we searched for anything they could've eaten or came into contact with while in this room and that is when we found the fungus mushroom underneath the air conditioning unit. We have documented all of this not only for our records but corporate to address deep concerns. I have asthma that has been triggered by these circumstances on many occasions I mentioned above. Also we have had stomach viruses since Friday. Not sure why but it was strange very strange it occurs in these rooms.

    This has just become unacceptable to continue to afford to pay for these type of situations to keep repeating itself without proper compensation for reoccurring issues out of my control. I have traveled from the Texas area 2000 miles to relocate here in the Maryland area only to have so many unfortunate situations occur at this particular location. I must say I have never experienced such unfortunate situations in 25 yrs as a professional. My field that requires me to be on the road 6 months out of a year so I have many frequent flyer miles and have stayed in 2-5 star accommodations never to experience anything to this severe. This I can say has never happened. I can truly state at this great magnitude.

    Now I have to take my pets to the vet not knowing what they have been exposed to since the maintenance staff on duty never ever seen mushrooms grow under air conditioning units here before? I am now "VERY" worried as to why it is happening and what is it exactly? And through it all I received "A Free Night" which is not equivalent to all I am dealing with and have been very patient and understanding, while I do fully comprehend some things are truly out of our control YES; but it is all in how it is handled by management when they are made aware of the issues that continue to occur that they try to come up with any reasonable solution. To a problem your guest has not caused. (Keep in mind I do receive a free night based on my Redicard membership.)

    The amount of money I am spending at Red Roof BWI for comfort, cleanliness and rest I should not have these issues or I should be compensated a lot more than "A FREE NIGHT" for all that I have dealt with and to deal with. I have not reported the practices here such as: the sex trade activity the desk staff decided to book her next to my room, connected doors, my latch to mine and for 2 days all I heard was loud sex noises and many strange men knocking on my door by accident so much we had to sit in our truck to watch this. At least 10 males entered we witnessed. In order to block the sound and not hear it we had to vacate, sit in our vehicle. It was unbelievable. Or the cooking of drugs. We were abruptly woken up too early Sunday morning with drug needles in front my door on the ground. I took to the office. We had vacate again for hours to sit in my vehicle.

    Not mention the exterior massive trash and dog attack situation at 8 am one Sunday morning on my window and attacking of a mother outside my room door and how that was poorly handled and brushed off. We were offered nothing at all, and a lot of other major violations I have witnessed here - I still remained silent and patient hoping the manager would address this. Due to me relocating it is hard to move from hotel to hotel for comfort and cleanliness with pets and my profession. It is a hectic schedule so I need my rest when I do stay anywhere. I think I have been more than fair and have not complained even when I had justifiable reason to do so. But this fungus and mushrooms issue is the last straw and "NO", one free night does not make up for all of these situations. I pay weekly here until I close on my home which I pray for any day now but in the meantime I am here and feel this out of hand.

    I truly am beyond upset about this and need action taken now so that these sort of situations do not occur to others who are undeserving and simply in town for work or relocating. This has caused me to not sleep, stress and for health reasons to be afraid for myself and my pets. I am asking that you look into this and please take this very seriously as it is. I am seeking an amicable solution to these reoccurring issues in a timely manner.

    I booked a room for 8/27 online for the Williamsport, PA location. On their website it clearly states newly renovated. When I arrived I was very disappointed. Nothing was renovated, but in really bad condition. Especially the carpets all around and in the rooms. It was ripped, old, stained and not vacuumed for quite a while. The wifi did not work at all, only 2 bars - couldn't even open my FB. My room was dusty, not vacuumed and my toilet would not flush. There were stains all over the walls. The parking lot and driveway were full of deep potholes. I felt scammed. I go there once a month and even got the RediCard thinking I will need it for future reservations, but now I honestly don't think I would ever want to.

    I stayed at the Red Roof inn, in Santa Ana California August 9th, 10th and 11th with my church group which we took up three rooms. Who I also recommended Red Roof Inn to another church group that took up 5 rooms and yet another church from Northern California that took up two rooms. I have stayed at the Red Roof Inn previously three other times in Santa Ana for Celebrate Recovery Summit AT Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. I noticed this year a lot of the people staying in the hotel seem to be practicing drug addicts, practicing alcoholics and there was what appeared to be ladies of the evening.

    Upon checking in, our church had sent them a check in advance paying for all the room and as I was checking in, they proceeded to tell me that they didn't take checks and I proceeded to tell them that they did take the check because it had already cleared the bank. After a lengthy discussion they went online and found that the check been cashed. Our church group checked out the morning of August 12th and the other Church groups we're checking out on the 13th of August. Upon talking to our state representative, I was informed that the room next to me room 154 had been broken into and my room which was 152 was also broken into, however I had already checked out.

    I understand that the room next to me that was broken into there was some prescription medication that was taken and as far as I know that was all that was taken. After reading some of the reviews at different states, different towns, in different locations of the Red Roof Inns, I won't be staying in the Red Roof Inns anymore. They have lost a good customer. They did file a police report with the Santa Ana Police Department and they were told that every hotel and motel in Santa Ana is low income. With what we were charged, it wasn't low income.

    Red Roof Inn, Lanham Md, I've stayed in for the second time on 8/13/16, and this was by far the worst. The room looked clean, but as the night went on I kept feeling uneasy, like I felt itchy, so I'd turn on the light and nothing. Then say around 5 am, my phone buzzes so I check it and then I feel a pinch on my arm so I shine the light from my phone and there it was, A BED BUG. My poor boyfriend sleeps hard, so they had a field day on him, he was so pissed. Needless to say we checked out early... and had to wait a hour for a refund. The staff was nice, but who wants to take bed bugs home with them and leave with bite marks all over. The mental anguish, RIDICULOUS. Inspect the mattress before you lay down. They hide well. Beware of those dark coverings they put over the box springs, it's where they live... never again!!!

    After spending the weekend at the Red Roof Inn, I checked out Sunday, July 31, 2016. I forgot my pair of dress shoes and tried to call the Inn directly when I discovered them missing Sunday afternoon. I called the Inn five times during a period of two hours and let it ring at least 15 times each time without an answer. I finally called the 800 reservation number and the agent who answered said she would try and reach them at another number. She reached them and connected me to the front desk. The desk clerk said she would check to see if the shoes were turned in. After 20 minutes on hold she said the shoes were not turned in. Now, the shoes were on the floor in plain view and the cleaning staff would have tripped on them upon entering the room.

    So, I suspected something was wrong and called the customer service number Monday morning. I got a recording and was put on hold for 18 minutes before I was cut off. I then tried emailing customer service and requested a receipt for the email. That was three days ago and I've given up on recovering the shoes. I should have suspected there would be problems at the Inn because when I checked in the Wi-Fi was not working. Saturday morning I notified the desk clerk the clock radio appeared to be a fire hazard and I had to disconnect it. The staff took no action to replace the radio. Also, the refrigerator was not bolted down. So, when one tried to open its door, the entire unit came out of the cabinet. Needless to say, I lost a pair of shoes and Red Roof Inn lost a customer.

    Redicard Rewards are misleading. My husband and I stayed at a Red Roof Inn near Boston for 10 days. We earned enough points for a free stay. When my husband tried to use the points, we were told he was not eligible because the card is only in my name even though we earned the points together. Nothing was explained to me when they handed me the card. It seems the card cannot be in both of our names and cannot be transferred. They have carefully set up their rules to reduce the chance a customer might actually be able to use their points. We also belong to Hilton HHonors and they allow both husband and wife to use their points. Red Roof Inn just pretends that its loyalty card will earn you benefits. Their arbitrary rules only leave me with a desire to avoid them in the future.

The entry door to the room was broken; the security peephole was taped over; no microwave; no coffee maker, room had a terrible odor; 2 towels for 4 people; bath tub was filthy; exhaust fan in the bathroom had so much dirt & dust that you could not even tell it was working. After reporting these problems to the front desk, the clerk told us that he would report it to the manager. The manager said he spoke with the disinterested owner and he offered an offensive $30 off.

The front desk person was pleasant, the room clean, although the tv did not work but we were not there to watch tv. I paid for the room prior to our stay and again no major problems... fast forward two weeks and I noticed a second charge for our stay. I immediately contacted the Red Roof Inn and they were able to pull up our information and realized that I had indeed been charged twice. The lady was very helpful, apologized for it and issued a refund for the second stay. I waited patiently for a week for my refund to appear on my credit card but no refund showed up.

    I again contacted Red Roof and spoke to someone else, who informed me that the first refund had been cancelled, again she was able to pull up the information and see we were indeed charged twice. She informed me that a refund would be issued and again I received an apology. Well it's been a few days and guess what NO REFUND!! I guess I will be contacting them again.

    I and my gf stayed at Red Roof Inn in Los Banos, CA on May 14 and 15th. We checked in on the 14th. I asked how much is it for one bed 2 people one night at first. The lady at desk (manager) told me she had no regular rooms available, that all she had was a deluxe. Whatever the difference is I seen nothing extra or better as a reg room. I had stayed there months ago. But anyways she said it was 61.80 and 50 dollar deposit. So I pay all. The room was nice and cozy but the shower curtain didn't do its job. It let water thru and flood the floor. So we dried it with the towels. The tv had its flaws you'd turn it up and got a loud buzzing sound so you had to keep volume down in order to try and hear it. Well with the ac on, as it was hot outside, you couldn't hear it. But that's the least of my complaint.

    Well the next day I went to pay for another day. The lady, same one, said I was the first customer to pay for the day out of approx 50 rooms. I'm the first? Check out time is 11 am Pacific time. I went there 10:50 am. Well first off the maintenance guy and room service girls looked like they were people off the street and on drugs. Lousy room service. Turned in towels. All of them remember we had to dry floor with them. The lady had knocked. I told her I paid for another day and that the manager said to let her know we need towels and toilet paper. The lady said "ok give me your towels. I'll be back in a few mins with clean ones and tp". About 2 hours later she is at the door. I heard her say to maintenance guy she would be done with our room in 5 mins. I went to door to open it to get the towels and tp. She had started to open door and said "oh my God I'm so sorry forgot you were in there...towels right". I said "yes and tp too".

    She said "here's two bath towels and a med towel. I don't have anymore. I'll bring some wash cloths and hand towels later." I asked for the tp and she answered "ok I'll bring with towels". Never arrived. I went and got two rolls from my van. Thank God I had those emergency nature called lol. Anyways we stay and ready to check out at 11 am May 15th. Mind me say that when we rented room the manager never inquired if I wanted a smoker or non smoker room. I smoke pretty much about a pack a day. Well I'm loading my stuff in my van I see the kind lady manager walk past me and talk with room service. I had left our room door open as I was moving our luggage to van. She walks into room, says something to my gf and walks off and turns around and tells me for the first time there's no smoking in that room, it's non smokers. That it would cost her 120 to have it repainted so it maybe a non smoker room again.

    I felt bewildered and told her "sorry we weren't told it was no smoking and never was asked if we wanted a smokers room." So she walks off a little irritated but I seen thru her cover. She couldn't been very upset since I know she knows she messed up by not mentioning it when we first checked in. I thought to myself oh no this lady did that purposely to trick us into giving her the 50 deposit and owe her an additional 70. So I finish loading up and go to office to turn key in and discuss the issue and have her take responsibility of failing to let me know it was non smoking. Well I turn in key and as I expected she says she can't give me the 50 deposit back because we smoked in room. I told her she never asked which we wanted and even though she didn't ask she didn't say that it was non smokers. She says "deluxe rooms are non smokers."

    I said "well I didn't know and you have nothing posted documenting that." Then she says that she did ask me that which I wanted, smokers or non. "Well that don't make sense to me. You just said deluxe are non smokers but yet you say you asked me. Why would you ask me if they are non smokers only?" Then she tried to say I picked that one because it's cheaper than smokers. I told her "quit lying, for one either for or for non smokers room is same price anywhere you go." So she goes on to say that she clearly remembers asking me because there is no fridge or TV in there. I look at her and say "yes there is fridge and tv in there. **." I asked for remote which she gave me the day before. Then she stayed like surprised didn't know what to say then she says "sorry I got confused. I talked to room service. It was a different room."

    I said "no you know exactly what you're trying to lie about and exactly what you're doing. You either did this as a trick purposely planned to keep the 50 dep or you really made a mistake by not letting me know it was non smokers. So now you're responsible for the painting and would come out your pocket. I'm not to pay for your mistake or pre-planned trickery." She says no that she told me it was non smokers. I even told her I smoke nearly a pack a day why would I inconvenience myself to have to step outside all times of day or night to smoke? I smoke often and would have picked a smokers room upon request. She said "sorry I'm not giving you the dep. I can call police." I said "call them. What are they going to do. I'm not breaking no law and besides they'll say it's a civil issue." I told her to take responsibility. Mistakes happen. She stayed thoughtful then burst out "I am not refunding your deposit. Have a good day."

    I look at her and said "you know in your heart if you have one that you made a mistake. Fine keep that money if you need it more than I. Needless to say I only had 12 bucks to my name at this time. I was depending on this 50 deposit. You have more money than I but you don't have to trick anyone into a non smokers knowing they smoke." I say this because she seen me smoking prior to going in office. I even finished my cig in front of office door and window area where she looked at me and I waved at her. So I asked her "don't you remember you saw me smoking before I checked in. Besides do you smoke?" She answered "no". I said "since you don't remember me smoking, do you remember smelling cigarette smoke on me as I checked in and I was approx 2-3 ft from you and as a non smoker you should have smelled it all over me as one who doesn't smoke will smell it even hours later on a smoker. Same as a non drinker. You can smell alcohol on someone a mile away.

    She said "no." Then I told her "I even wondered why there was a plastic tall ashtray outside my door but on walkway." She said there was none. I said "yes there is. Let's go look." She said "no it's ok." She then even argued she had video of our conversation at check in time where she advised me it was non smokers and she asked me which I wanted. I told her "please get video, let's review and see who's right." She said "oh no sorry. It doesn't record audio." I said "bs it records audio. That's an expensive dvr with like 10 camera system. I've had one cheap one with only 4 cameras and it records audio." It was a no win situation for me. I can't force her to give it back. I just told her "God knows you're wrong and you're robbing me a barley making it good hearted guy who is honest and would not have purposely smoked in a non smoking room to cost them money." That her in her self and conscience knows the truth. May God forgive her and bless her family. gb.

    What a cold blooded non professional lady of a nice pics of rooms online motel. I will never rent there again and I don't recommend anyone to rent there either. I forgot to mention I should have thought it weird when she said the day I checked in that she tells customers even if they booked online for cheaper she would match the lower price to pay there in office because the website gets a percentage of the rate. What a loser lady tricking the web hosts out of their portion for their advertisement of their motel. I need to contact the sites and let them know what the lady said and what she is doing in order to deprive the sites of their agreed portion of rate. Straight robbed me.

Invest in a steam mop. They are not that expensive. My blanket had a hole in it. No double sheets between the blankets for sanitary reasons. I was trying to read in bed and had to lift the light shade to see better. There was so much dust around the light fixture it looked as though it had never been dusted.

    I stayed two nights at a very nice Red Roof Inn in Delaware, then found I was charged for one of the nights twice after I noticed two separate changes on my MasterCard bill. No one at Red Roof could account (nor find) this second charge. It was finally resolved by my credit card dispute office who had to cancel my card and reissue a new number. The cancelled card had everything from my EZ Pass to my mail away drug plan linked to it. To his credit, the manager at the Inn was very apologetic, helpful and gracious; not something that was the mind set from Red Roof's Corporate Office.

    I received two dismissive, rude letters from George **, a Regional VP with Red Roof, the last one stating "Occasionally, we are unable to resolve a situation as a customer requests". This wasn't a complaint about a coffee maker not working; this was tampering with my financial records since MasterCard did find the name of the person whose room had been paid for with my card. He was a no-show, and I'm realistic enough to know mistakes do happen and when they do, take ownership, fix the problem and do something to maintain goodwill with the customer - it's how I ran my business 35 years. Had I run it with the goodwill Red Roof generates, I would have been out of business 34 1/2 years ago. In short - check your charges very carefully and don't hope for help from Red Roof if something goes wrong. I'm not just doing "one star" across the board since my interaction at the actual point of service was quite good.

Coming back to the room, the cleaning people had thrown trash bags down the steps and the stuff that had falling out was left there at the bottom of the stairs. There was an open condom wrapper on the stairs.

    Water was at the top of the stairs that someone could have slipped and fallen down from. Extremely rude people working at the front who all acted like they hated their job and would rather be anywhere else than helping us. The glossed over look of a nicer hotel is a joke and a lie.

    We stayed at Red Roof Inn, Lackland AFB recently and thought we got a good deal on the room. I can see why the price was what it was. My initial impression upon checking in is that it wasn't well taken care of. Lobby does not feel warm and inviting at all. Breakfast area included. The night gal at the desk was not excited to have us stay, nor to be at her job period. We proceeded to our room and over the course of our few nights' stay, I realized that there were a lot of strikes against this place.

    Vinyl floors were filthy, had not been swept with lots of dust bunnies and were sticky. I never walked without shoes. The heater/air conditioner was loud and clunky, so must not be tuned up. The TV did not work upon turning it on. I mentioned this at the desk. They said they'd fix it. Next night same thing. Clerk told me I had to change the input settings. Really? It worked, but why wouldn't you have it ready for customers?

    No phone books. No info to call to desk. No Bible. No extra blankets/pillows. Coffee making ingredients, no coffee maker. Hair all over the sink. Plastic bag over the smoke alarm above the bed. Crumbs of something all over the top of the frig in front of microwave. Pillows are small enough for travel and were stained as if they were washed with something blue, but made me check the bed thoroughly. We had one queen bed, but lots of additional space, as no chair or table in the room like every other hotel room I've ever stayed in has. And cosmetically, it appears they had tried to remodel it, but the job was awful. I'd fire the person who did it. Breakfast was limited and each day got less and less.

    The Red Roof Inn has pictures including a fridge and a microwave, there are none in normal rooms, only the master rooms that cost $20 extra. Basically every hotel in the country has these. This hotel will not give them to you unless you pay $20 extra for it. It's a floor based hotel meaning your door is open to the ground and anybody can come by knock on your window/door, on the plus side they give you triple locks, but for me having $3,000 of equipment with me on a business trip it's still a worry that they don't go through a central corridor.

    Worst point for me was when I paid for Sunday to Friday figuring this gives me all of Friday and then leave Saturday, they locked me out of my room and would not let me go and get my $3,000 worth of stuff (a felony is stealing $900 worth of stuff fyi) and they ended up charging me another $50 (half price because I was about to flip my ** in their lobby).

    We checked into room 101 around 9:15am on Wednesday, Dec 30th and noticed the room was quite small and the beds were not queen sized as we thought we would be getting. Thinking this was a simple misunderstanding, when we returned that evening we went to the front desk to inquire further about the beds and other issues we were having at the room. These additional issues are summarized below.

    I would like to point out that at this time, the general manager, was not available. We were told that she had left because it was a holiday. We spoke with front desk associate, who assured us our complaints would be documented into the computer system and to return in the morning for follow-up about being moved to a King Suite Deluxe room. Additionally, she, stated she would print out the incident report of our complaints and provide us a copy for our records. The next morning, at approximately 10am, we went back to the front desk to follow-up, and again told the manager was unavailable but that a King Deluxe room had opened up and was being cleaned for our stay. At this time, we were told to return in the evening and the room would be ready for us.

    When we returned at 8pm that evening (12/31), we were told that the room had been given to another guest and there were no more available rooms. At this point, we had endured 1 night in the cold room, and still could not contact the manager. During our entire stay, we were never contacted by cellphone, no paper note of attempted contact was placed in our room, and no voicemail in our hotel room was received. The lack of communication is an egregious oversight and did not make us feel like welcomed or valued customers.

    On January 1st, at 5am, we were finally able to get a hold of the general manager. Instead of pulling the 2 of us (the 2 guest paying for the room) aside and explaining the issues with the room, she proceeded to attempt to invite only one of us into her office to speak with her. We felt extremely uncomfortable with this and asked to speak in the lobby. At this point she again insisted on us entering her office. The two of us then entered her office and attempted to explain to her the issues we were having. She continuously interrupted us while we were speaking and showed no regard for our disposition. She proceeded to tell us she had contacted the Vice President of the District, concerning the issues with the bed sizes. The manager's appearance at this time was concerning as she was disheveled, her eyes were red, makeup running, her speech was slurred, and balanced impaired. She appeared intoxicated.

    When we mentioned our inability as well as hotel staff inability to contact her, her tone of voice became very loud and aggressive which made us feel extremely uncomfortable. When I said there was no need to get aggressive with us, she became very angry and told us to leave her office, slamming the door behind us. She acted as though she did not want to help us resolve our grievances and showed no empathy for our discomfort or concerns. The lack of professionalism demonstrated by her at the managerial level was absolutely unacceptable. As no attempt to please us as guest was being made on multiple occasions, we requested a copy of the incident report from the manager documenting the issues we described with the room. However, we're met with opposition and told we could not be given access to this information.

    The following is a summary of issues we discovered with the room itself: Heater/air condition unit started smoking within 30 secs of being turned on the heater option, which caused the fire alarm to go off. Out of fear of the heater catching fire, we slept in the freezing cold room for both of our 2 nights. Consequently, our sleep was disrupted and we did not enjoy our stay.

    Cleaning person did not empty trash and did not replace toilet paper roll. We had to retrieve an extra roll from the front desk. Gold ring that placed on top of the water bottle cap at the nightstand was taken from the room. The bottle had not been moved and was in the same exact place from when we left the room. Shower door did not close properly. Every time we tried to close it shut, the door would swing back open. This caused the shower water to spill all over the floor, making the bathroom slippery. We had to place many towels on the floor to prevent us from slipping. See attached images of the shower door.

    Electrical outlets malfunctioning. The outlet located on the lamp directly next to the right bed did not work. Also indicated by the attached images and more concerning, the socket next to the coffee maker is collapsed in the wall creating a potential spark hazard. Carpet is ripped and missing at room entry door and at the bathroom door.

    My 4 year son, myself and a friend stayed at the Red Roof Inn on December 4th, 2015 at approximately 11:30. 2 men were at our door and able to open it. The only thing keeping them out was a latch. They unlocked our deadbolt which only a master key could do. They tried 5x to get in. We yelled. We had a gun and would shoot them. They took off about 8 minutes into it. The police came and the front desk person didn't apologize and lied about how they key. I had to call the manager the next and he acted as if there was no threat. I am getting the police report. If the people were staying there, they should be identified. No cameras either.

    Booked three rooms and was quoted a price. Was told needed card to guarantee room and we could pay with different card when we checked out. Day of arrival my card was charged. Very upset since I was not paying for all three rooms. I called and was told when we arrived it will be credited and everyone could use their card. When Rick did this we were charged $17.00 more for each room. This is not what we were quoted. After we were checked in we encountered many problems.

    Room 203 - stains on the rug. Dirt in the corners of the bathroom and tub. Chair in room falling apart. The following morning we went to breakfast. When we came back the cleaning lady had taken our washcloths and towels and never replaced them. Never cleaned room either. When I asked for washcloths and towels she didn't understand. I had to show her. She then handed me very stained ones. This was unacceptable.

    Room 205 - Room dirty stains on rug. TV did not work. Contacted front desk and a woman came up to look at it. She could not get it working. She informed us that a maintenance man would be up. After 2 hrs no one came. I went to the front desk and Rick said "he is not coming". Informed him had two children and need a TV. Another man came up to try to fix it. The back of the TV was very dusty. He tried to get it working with no luck. He then stated "it was the cable Company's problem". I asked for another room and he said "we are booked can't move you". After several minutes he fixed it.

    Room 115 - This was a Ada room. This room had no iron, no tray in microwave, refrigerator stopped working, food went bad and no phone in room. I do not understand how a handicap room has no phone. I have contacted guest relations for Red Roof Inn with no avail. Rick at the front desk was very unhelpful and did not seem like he cared. This hotel was dirty and management does not care about its guest. Guest relations does not want to do anything.

    While making an online reservation for December 28th stay at Red Roof Inn San Antonio Airport, I did not realize that the date of stay had changed to November 29th until I was getting email on my review of my stay for that November day. On Friday evening, 12/4 I called the 800# for Red Roof and explained my mistake, and they referred me to the Red Roof San Antonio Airport Inn. When I talked to the nice gentleman he informed me there was no manager on duty until the next day 8 am to 3 pm and his name was Bob. I left my number on the manager's extension. I waited on Saturday for him to call until 9:30 am their time and called, he was out having coffee and would be back in a few minutes. I left my name and phone number. I called back in 30 minutes, an hour and he still was not back. I called back in an hour and he was there, got the message and said he would call me back.

    Now each time I called I got a very nice young lady who would take the messages. I waited until the afternoon, about 2 pm their time and was told he left for the day but lived there at the hotel. They took another message and put me into his phone into his room and left another message. I realize I may have been a pain with all of the calls but I had already been charged for the stay, and needed to see about getting it credited and corrected to the 12/28 date that I needed. Now why would they need a manager who never seemed to be there and then left early?? What kind of customer service is this? I know that I was persistent but I don't have money to spend on something I haven't used yet. I wonder what kind of customer service I would have if I had stayed. Employees mirror the way management treats guests. It is Sunday and I understand that Bob is on duty again today, still no call. Must be out for coffee again!!

    Having stayed at the Gallup, NM Red Roof Inn two days earlier, we were relieved to find a Red Roof Inn in Madison, AL. We loved the Red Roof Inn at Gallup, NM and had come to trust Red Roof Inn as a comfortable, affordable, pet-friendly, and nicely furnished place to stay. Unfortunately, the Red Roof Inn in Madison, AL was atrocious and I am astounded that Red Roof Inn would put its name and risk its brand on such a decrepit, run-down, and unsafe building. The windows were not insulated from the noise of the highway right outside the building, nor were the walls insulated from the noise of the customers staying in adjacent rooms, and partying, and doings drugs all night. I understand that loud customers are not necessarily the hotel's fault, but poor insulation is the hotel's responsibility. The walls were moldy and, as you can see in the attached photo, crumbling. The refrigerator leaked so that when we awoke, we immediately stepped into a cold puddle of water. The furniture, bed spread, and cabinets were old and out-of-date. The shampoo came in a plastic bag like a packet of ketchup.

    The pillows were deflated and yellow and gray, so I covered them with a towel to sleep on since I didn't trust their cleanliness. There was only one trash can, so if I was in the bathroom or kitchenette, I would have to walk past the bed to throw away trash. One of the lamps was missing a lightbulb. The carpet was so threadbare, dirty, and stained, that my dog wouldn't even sleep on it and ended up sleeping on the bed with us. Stains and tears on the lampshades, unpatched holes in the wall, even the phone was disgustingly dirty. The curtain was held closed by a string and duct tape. The Do Not Disturb sign was peeling. Hardware on the doorknob was falling off. Continental breakfast consisted of stale slices of bread in a dirty plastic container and Tang.

    The Red Roof Inn we stayed in Gallup, NM was beautifully furnished and well-kept, with wood laminate floors, the complete opposite of the Red Roof Inn in Madison, AL. I feel like we were deceived by our prior positive experience in Gallup, NM and the "Red Roof Inn" sign on the front of the building in Madison, AL. This motel clearly was not up to the standard of the Red Roof Inn we stayed in Gallup, NM and has ruined our trust in the Red Roof Inn brand. Heidi **, Red Roof Inn Franchise Operations Director, tried to send us a voucher to compensate us, but she sent it to the wrong address. She refuses to refund us or provide us with compensation even though she sent it to the wrong address.

    I've been a Redicard member for quite awhile. Because of so many issues I had with them previously, I stopped staying there. I was in my hometown for a couple of events on 10/29/2015 and right away noticed to employees outside arguing at each other. I went to my room and immediately smelled urine. I called the front desk and asked for a different room. I was switched to another room. I felt better with this room until I went to the restroom. The bottom of the toilet was so filthy, it was like it hasn't been touched in years. I felt this was the best they had to offer so I went to sleep.

    When I woke the next morning, I noticed a couple steaks of blood on the sheets. I checked my skin and saw I hadn't cut myself in my sleep. I called my niece and told her I thought I had been bitten by bed bugs. She looked at the bumps and told me that's what it was. I'm going to the corporate office with this complaint and further if I have to. So disgusting! I'll never ever stay at another Red Roof Inn.. EVER.

    My boyfriend and I purchased a hotel room at the Red Roof Inn and Suites in October of 2015 and had the worst experience we've ever had at a hotel!! We noticed tiny roaches as soon as we started settling into the room we were given... we did call right then to see if we could change rooms but the person at the front said they did not have another available so we attempted to deal with the unwanted guests. That lasted a few hours until I reached for my soda and when I touched it roaches fled from the can and there was no way I was going to stay another minute in that room so we insisted to be moved to a cleaner roach-free room. The hotel did move us but the room was right next door to the maid's cleaning supply and laundry closet so wasn't long before the maids came to work and the laundry machines were very disturbing. Needless to say we did not get much sleep!

    After all that we had to endure our door being propped open to be painted and two or three different men came by and painted different sections of the door while we were still occupying the room... I actually ended up having to shower while the painters were working and that was extremely uncomfortable especially because the bathroom door didn't close because the door was off balance with the door frame. The manager came to the room with the painters early around 9 and we couldn't close that door due to the paint needing to dry for hours and during those hours the manager was way too friendly... he was very flirtatious with me and was fully aware the man with me is my boyfriend. He felt it was ok to come into the room and chat and look around like he knew us well, and it was so bad that he made me very uncomfortable to the point where I made it a point not to go anywhere by myself whether it was to the front desk or to our vehicle.

    Another thing we noticed in the second room was that the linens looked as if they were dirty like the bed or one of them had been slept in but we were so fed up by then that we examined the other bed and it seemed clean so we just avoided the dirty bed. I've never in my life been to a hotel where the sheets were so noticeably dirty that we had no doubt they had not been changed! There are quite a few other issues I could add but my head hurts and I think you get the picture or at least I hope everyone does that reads this! I would not allow anyone to stay in such an unclean broke down environment especially for the price we paid, and honestly I think we should have gotten a refund plus a couple free nights to make up for the horrible time we had when we were trying to enjoy a few days of relaxation that turned into a hot mess full of frustration.

Once inside the room smelled really bad, and the heat was on. Turned heat off then started to bring things in from the truck. The beds were the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in, with small pillows. Walls were so thin you could hear the people yelling in the next room.

    Cracks under the door to the outside which allowed bugs in we had to place a towel by the door. The door to the other room had a crack there as well, and you could see the light from the other room. Bugs on the floor, stains on the walls and ceiling. Bath tub was dirty and looked like mold on the ceiling. The chair was old and tore, needs to be replaced. Will never stay there again, and would not recommend for anyone.

The doctor told us that we had contracted scabies. Yes SCABIES for God's sake. We spoke with the manager who tried to give us the run around saying there was no way, but that was the only place we stayed. We're going to take legal action now.

    We had our entire home packed and we needed a place to stay for 1 night. We chose the Red Roof Inn in Tinton Falls, NJ. We arrived exhausted and it never crossed our minds to remove the sheets or blankets and check for bed bugs. The home we bought, moved into had been unoccupied for well over a year. Last week we ruled out the itchy bumps my husband had been experiencing could not be from poison ivy, green heads, mosquitoes, laundry detergent, new soap, stress, vitamins, or food allergies. Then one night last week he woke up and found a bug on himself. Having moved near to the Pine Barrens area, we thought it might be a tick.

    I went online and to my utter shock and horror I discovered our worst nightmare. It was in fact a bedbug. I immediately called a professional exterminator and pleaded with him to come right over. When he arrived at our new home, he confirmed it was a bedbug. We all went to our bedroom and my husband and I were sickened to see what the exterminator exposed when he removed all our bedding including our pillow topper and mattress cover. He showed us where they were breeding. When we told him we had no idea how or where we could have gotten bed bugs, he told us to think of everywhere we have slept or may have traveled to. Then it dawned on us that we did stay at this hotel and he assured us that we most definitely picked them up there.

    I called the corporate office and explained our situation. They contacted the hotel and of course, the mngr. They denied our having gotten them there and said they just had an exterminator check the room and it was clean. The hotel is the absolute only place we slept before we arrived in our totally vacant home .Clearly the hotel failed to take responsibility for their negligence. We are out close to $ 700 for this disaster which fortunately we caught before our entire home became infested. I am disabled and have numerous health issues and I had to leave my home for several hours both times the exterminator came to treat our entire home.

    There is no way to compensate for the mental, emotional stress and anxiety this trauma has caused me. I owned a business for 28 years before my cancer diagnosis and cannot believe the hotel is denying that we got them there. On the local NJ news just now, a report revealed that bed bugs were just found at the 311 call office in Philadelphia and the exterminators that were called in found the infestation in the carpets there. This is a serious matter and laws must be enacted to require all hotels to have regular inspections and exterminations done.

    I've been staying at the RED ROOF INN for almost 2 weeks now. The first room I stayed in, I mentioned to the staff that there was spiders in the room to have an employee tell me "Oh, it could be because you're on ground level and they could come under the door". On my third day, I was bitten twice on my jaw by a spider, to have two bumps swell. I notified the front desk, showed them the swellings, to have them once again tell me "Oh ok, we'll have the maintenance guy come and spray". That never happened.

    On the sixth day of my stay, I was bitten again by another spider, this time on my arm, to have it swell up and turn red and black around the point of contact. This time I asked to speak with management. It took her two days to contact me. I was informed to take pictures of my marks and that she would pass my complaint to someone else. However, they did change my room. Here it is, almost two days and I haven't heard from anyone else. One employee stated that all he could do was offer an extra day until he spoke with management. My response was "no, I need to speak with management." I was told by management that they would have to wait until they spoke with someone else to see if they would cover me going to the er to get this checked out.

    I'm not satisfied with how things are being handled and will be calling corporate on tomorrow. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I expect/expected a comfortable stay.

    I use to love staying at Red Roof Inn. But things now are sooo bad. When I checked in, there were two customers in front of me. One was arguing because she was trying to switch rooms. After about 5 minutes, the clerk finally gave in and gave her a new room. The second guest just wanted to know how much she would have to pay to extend her stay for a week. She was told (in an attitude way) that all she has to do is look it up online. When asked if she could just look it up and tell her, the cashier picked up a calculator and slammed it on the counter and asked the guest how much she paid for one room. She entered the info on the calculator and showed the guest and told her what the total was. I should have left at that time, but I had driven up from Florida and was exhausted.

    When it was my turn, I was greeted with "What do you want?" When I told her I was checking in, her demeanor changed - a little, for the better. Once I opened my room door, I was overwhelmed by the smell of pine cleaner in the room. It was so strong my eyes started watering. The A/C was also set on high and the room was freezing. It was also suppose to be a nonsmoking room, but there was strong smell of cigarette smoke. I went to the front desk to see if I could change rooms, and as soon as the cashier saw me again, she did an eye roll. I explained my concerns and asked if I could change rooms. I was told there were no available room.

    Once back in my room, I tried to connect my laptop to the WiFi but couldn't . I tried several times debating if I should call the front desk. I tried to sleep for funeral the following morning, but there were noisy guest laughing and cursing in the walkway outside my window. I asked if they could be a little quieter because I had to get some rest for a funeral in the morning. I was cursed and yelled at and told "** you . Get back in your room mother **." I checked out the following day instead of staying for two nights as originally booked. The only reason I am giving one star is because I am required to rate it.

    I am currently staying at the Red Roof Inn in San Antonio, on 1011 E. Houston Street. The website advertises, "This Red Roof PLUS+ hotel also features Premium Rooms with breakfast and a snack ready in your room! We feature a conference room, free local and domestic long distance calling, ATM, an outdoor pool, elevators, interior corridors with WiFi available throughout the property."

    I checked-in yesterday at 5PM. When I arrived in my room, I got on my computer after putting my belongings away. I discovered that the WIFI wasn't working. I called the front desk with my concern and the young man at the front desk told me that another guest notified them with the same complaint and that they had called their IT service. After 5 hours passing, I checked if the WIFI was working with my laptop... Still no working WIFI. I called the front desk again and got the man who checked me in. He seemed unaware of what was going on, but said that the person who was working the front desk with him was away. However, I asked him if he could help me with any alternatives (another WIFI network with a password, for example). He was no help. I ended the call asking him to call my room with any updates, which he agreed to update me.

    After being in class all day, I returned to my room with still no WIFI. I called the front desk again, inquiring what was going on with the WIFI. I spoke to the same man who checked me in from yesterday. He seemed very apathetic, saying that the front desk does not handle IT problems. I then asked him if he could call the IT service and get an update. He sounded very reluctant to agree to do so.

    Because I need to send out documents to clients, I was frustrated and looked up the number to Red Roof Inn's headquarters. The Customer Service number directed me to reservations. However, the woman offered to call the front desk of the location where I am staying to see where they were with troubleshooting the problem with the WIFI. While I was on hold with her, ** from the front desk called my room. She was extremely helpful by telling me about that the WIFI was not working throughout the property (like the website advertised) and that they've had complaints about it.

    She even encouraged me to complain to the corporate office. She then told me that the WIFI is strong on the first floor. I am currently typing this complaint in the breakfast area, with music from the 50's and 60's in the background. The atmosphere is very distracting with the music and the guest traffic. Because I cannot compose this complaint in the quiet of my room, I am very distracted and agitated and this letter may have typos. I am very disappointed and will not be staying at this establishment in the future.

    When we checked in to Terre Haute, we were given our first of 3 room changes that night. The first, room # 138 had other peoples' clothes in it and a bottle of vegetable oil in the nightstand. Also, dirty wash cloths. We complained to front desk and didn't get even an apology, just moved us to room #2. That was room 150. Upon entering, I went to the bathroom and turned on the faucet and it came spewing out all over. Leaking on the floor, shooting up on the wall. I turned on the shower, and no hot water whatsoever. I called front desk, and they said I must have a room with reverse handles for hot and cold. Wrong, I already thought of that. After 20 minutes, not even a hint of hot water, so we moved again.

    The third room was THE WORST! It had all the cords for TV, microwave, fridge and lamps hanging out of the wall, which I could see through to the next room. I had to put an ice bucket over the hole. They made the king bed with queen sheets, which was barely getting it. Out of 5 lights in the room, only 2 worked. There was a huge smashed mosquito on the wall next to the bed. The dirt and filth, spiderwebs all over the bathroom. The shower head and tub filthy. The back door entrance (#4) had all locks drilled out and was propped open with a rock. The dirt and bugs swarmed the hallway and staircase. I took pictures of all of it. We did not feel safe at all.

    When we checked out, we voiced our opinion and was told they have a new crew and would take notes for maintenance to fix things. I wanted complimented for the room and they said NO. They can't do that. REALLY? I'm in the hotel/hospitality business and I know better. We were given the room so-called free on our RediCard membership ahead of time. I feel that we need that free room back and no charge for the room, period. They said no. Hmm. It was the most disgusting room ever. They even have a pool that was completely closed up and covered with huge holes in the patio. Appears to have been covered for a couple years. Totally dissatisfied.

    I am beyond livid about my stay at Red Roof Inn San Antonio - Ft. Sam Houston 4403 IH 10 East, San Antonio, TX, 78219. The Red Roof Inn name should be ashamed to even associate with a franchise hotel building place like this! We arrived late around 3am because my fiance was too tired from driving too many hours. I noticed on the pillows in our bed were little spider like insects! All the walls had stains, especially the bathroom. The shower wall and shower head had mold. The shower also had hair on the walls probably from the previous guest.

    We were only given two little hand wash sized towels for bathing and they had black stains on them. They advertise free breakfast, but that was false advertisement, no breakfast offered or given. Which in turn, that place is too unsanitary, it's probably not safe to eat food from there. I asked for my refund back due to the horrible conditions and the staff was rude! No customer satisfaction or good customer service at all. They refused my refund! This place needs to be shut down and demolished immediately. I plan to report the company to the BBB, Attorney General's office, Department of Public Health.

    I have stayed there several times and became a rewards member just to get extra night stays. The first problem is I had been there since 6/21/2015 they keep putting additional charges on my credit card like had been staying in two room. Second I had to have my bank fix all the transactions because it overdrafted my account. They never report your stay to the points department. If you don't call you lose out. When I was at the bank I informed the front desk we would be staying another night and to not mess with the room. He stated that would be fine.

    By the time I got back housekeeping had cleaned the room and removed all of our things, clothes, grand babies medicine and asthma machine. When we asked where the things were they said they didn't know. They assign a housekeeper to a room to be cleaned, it obvious to me she stole it. Even if you leave your things in a room they are suppose to put them in lost and found for 14 days before getting rid of it. The front desk clerk was very rude. He made reservations under other guest name with my credit card.... The rooms are a mess to be charging 59.99 a night. I only stayed because it was close..

    This by far, was the worst hotel stay experience I've ever endured. I travel for work and never expected this when booking my stay. When I first arrived at the hotel I was given a room with 2 twin beds, when I clearly booked a room for 2 full beds. When I went down to the front desk to ask about a bigger room I was given attitude and was told that they were booked and that was the only room available. I figured I'd let it slide. Well upon returning to the room my girlfriend had noticed a hole in the bathroom door the size of a cantaloupe, the toilet was not cleaned-having brown rings around the water line along with pubic hairs still on the seat. Also, the sink had not been wiped down from the previous person as there were still coffee stains present, and our towels so were dingy to the point that they looked piss yellow/brown.

    I went back down to the front desk to let the employee know about this room and was also given attitude and hesitancy about switching us to a cleaner room. The first room was room 314, he then moved us to 207. As soon as he opened the door for us to look at the room I was immediately hit in the face with the awful smell of cigarette smoke (mind you this is supposed to be a smoke free hotel). We decided to look past this and stay the night. The whole first night we were there the parking lot lights were never turned on therefore it was pitch black and I felt very uncomfortable when I had to take my dog out for a walk during the night.

    Another thing that made me feel uncomfortable was the fact that the side door (which had a key swipe in order for you to get in) was unlocked EVERY night we stayed there. I was traveling with my girlfriend and our 14 year old daughter and this did not make me happy knowing anyone could come in and out of the hotel as they pleased, whether they were a guest or not. I work hard for my money and would like to think if I pay for something I should get the best experience possible and this was not the case. I will definitely never stay at the Red Roof Inn in Monee, IL EVER again. And I am also contemplating on whether or not I will ever stay at any Red Roof Inns or their affiliates ever again.

I found an adult bed bug on the pillow soon after entering the room. The man in charge was on top of it and moved us into a different room at our request.

Checking it later I found that I was charged twice. It took a month to get the manager to reimburse my card calling every day. SO we drove all night arriving at 3:30 am at the same Red Roof Inn and the young lady running the counter told me to come back in 30 mins as she was auditing the books for the day.

    So we left and returned in 30 mins, got our room and she said that because we waited for her to do the books we would not have to check out until 11:00 AM the next day only to have the manager call our room waking us all to tell me I would have to pay for another day or leave that morning at check out.

    Red Roof Inn 22 W. Algonquin Rd. - I recently stayed at this location and paid for an additional two week stay. Midway through my second week we were asked to leave because I had a refrigerator in my room (which ** assistant GM said we could continue to use, he said this in front of a housekeeping staff member) and "one too many cats." When I checked in I tried to claim my pets and was told by ** "We're pet friendly. It doesn't matter." I requested a refund of my 2nd week and was told that they first had to inspect for damages. I'm a 54 year old woman with a conscience. Why would I damage a motel room? And as such this is a motel not an apartment complex and my money was not a deposit that can be held at ** whim.

    Motel guests are not responsible for routine cleaning and maintenance. ** the maintenance man accused my cats of peeing on the bed and damaging the mattress. One of the housekeepers confirmed that the stains were there long before we got there as we stripped the beds before maid service arrived as we always do to make their job easier. Most Motels have a biohazard situation in the rooms and the maids should be responsible for reporting this sort of damage and it should be attended to prior to other guests checking in and then treated like criminals on departure. I am expecting a refund within the week or I will pursue legal action.

    We voiced our concerns a couple of times about the people in the room behind us who were in a nonsmoking room and turned on the bathroom fan which in effect blew their smoke into our room. They were not asked to leave for smoking marijuana and cigarettes in their room and ** the maintenance tech had gone to the room to check but they would not let him in; the smoke hit him in the face through the crack in the door. He next came to our room to verify that it was indeed coming through the vent and he indicated we were not wrong. Nothing was done about this nuisance and I went to sleep several nights in a row breathing in second hand smoke through the vent.

    There is a hoarder in room 120 where none of the maids can even go in and clean. A new case of bedbugs arrived a week before we were asked to leave where ** demanded that she and ** be allowed to "inspect" our room and it appears they targeted specific people rather than check EVERY room. ** rifled through the drawer where I kept my underwear looking for bugs. They are called BEDBUGS for a reason and would not be in a clothes drawer.

    ** also threatened to have me arrested when I got upset that ** was such a horrible excuse of a human being to my sister and I. They yelled at us because we were taking too long to vacate. Everything was packed and we tried to explain that we were just waiting for our friend to arrive with a van to help us move our belongings. I am highly disappointed in ** as he had always shown such respect until 5-16-2015. It was also previously witnessed that ** put his hands against our window and peered in. This is an illegal invasion of privacy. My lawyer will also be hearing about that act.

    This is the worst experience I have ever had and I've stayed at Red Roof Inn in several states in my travels of the last couple of years. I will be posting this experience on Facebook and other social media. People need to know how they will be treated when they visit such a place.

Under 35 lbs, after 5 nights when we checked in with them??? Oh and all they do is bark, however, we have been woken up by dogs barking the last night of our stay. Also when they cleaned our room, we had medicine and money missing. We will not be treated this way and we are getting our attorneys involved for distress. Run Away as fast as you can!!!

    On my stay at the Red Roof Inn in Clearwater Florida, there was Roaches in the room and a dirty floor with a roach eating a cookie crumb on a dirty floor. Then the bedding had stains, and I mean a lot of them. Mold on the ceiling, holes in the bathroom, molding on the floor which the roaches ran into! I called corporate offices and sent them pictures, they did nothing!! What good is customer service? I asked for a supervisor and was told a apology was all I was getting. I paid good money for a sleepless night. Never again will I, or people I know stay at a Red Roof.

    I checked in on Jan 31st for one night at a discounted rate of $42.67 including Safe Charge ($1.50). That is the amount I authorized & signed for. I was checked in by Anita, who fraudulently used my card to charge an additional $107 without my permission. I decided to stay an extra night (Feb 1st) and paid cash $40.79 (not including Safe Charge) because the room did not have a Safe. I checked out on Feb 2nd. My card was charged an extra $41.76. I have no idea what kind of Con Artist is working at this Red Roof in Binghampton, Johnston City NY, but beware of your transaction and the Pitbulls.

    My boyfriend and I went to Jacksonville to spend time with his family and we decided to stay there. First night in the bathroom, I found ants in sink. Went to take a shower - towel were dirty, it had blood on it and shower curtain dirty. Second day, the room attendant did not clean the room and third night when we came back around 1 am, the room door was open. Unacceptable really, I'm an executive housekeeping manager in New York and I never got service like that. We were there for 8 nights - we had to check out that day. It was terrible. When informed the manager on-duty, all they could say is "is anything missing?", didn't say sorry, or ask if they can make our stay better. WORSE HOTEL EVER. DON'T WASTE MONEY.

    On 01/20/2015 I approx. 1:45am I arrived at the Los Banos CA Red Roof Inn. On my mobile device I attempted to book reservations for an hotel room. Unable to complete. With the help of hotel front desk a reservation was made. I received an email confirmation. However, hotel systems declined my card. We called Expedia, there was an 8min wait. We waited over an hour to hear a human voice, put us on hold again. Expedia removed funds from my card at the same time the Red Roof Inn declined. Problem was not resolve till after 4am.

    Over two hours I waited at the night window extremely tired from my travels- freezing, standing, waiting. So frustrated that I couldn't go anywhere else because Expedia had removed funds from my visa. 4:30am, me and my son finally get a key to a very cold room. Our room heater was out of order... too exhausted to even think about changing room. Woke up with headache, running nose and a very aggressive cough. Please contact me @ **.

    I stayed at the Red Roof Inn of N Tucson for 3 weeks or more with my cat; no problems; checked in for another 3 days recently. On the third night I noticed the toilet was running. I called the desk but got no answer, so I turned off the valve leading to the toilet. The following morning the office called my room and said water was leaking to the room below. They claimed someone had been at the desk all the previous evening, but I know that wasn't the case - often when I went to the desk during the previous visit the clerk was outside having a smoke. They would not loan me a vacuum to clean up kitty litter the cat had scattered, and told me I had to check out as I was on the "no rent" list. They gave no explanation and told me the manager was out, though I spied him behind the desk area.

    When I was in Madison this weekend, I stayed at the red roof inn. While at my craft show Saturday, things were stolen from my room. I had the only key, so I can only assume it was one of their employees. They haven't apologized or offered me a refund. I just got an email saying they aren't going to do anything because their insurance doesn't cover incidents when their employees steal from guests. So I'd recommend not staying at a red roof inn.

    I booked a room for 6 nights (8/13/2014-08-19-2014) at the Raleigh, North Carolina with a king size bed. Got there about 06:00PM-07:00PM. Room looked good and notice there was not a refrigerator. Called the front desk and asked if there was one and he said, "Did you ask for one," and I said "I believe I did" where I was told that I didn't and if I wanted one was like $7.50 more a day. So I said I was already unpacked and to forget it. Next morning took a shower and noticed no hair dryer. Again called the front desk where I was asked again "Did you order one" and I said I didn't know I had to order a thing that is usually supplied by all the hotels/motels that I usually book. Good thing I didn't have to ask for toilet paper cause I probably would of been asked did you order it.

    Any ways I had the Do Not Disturb sign up and had a meeting at noon time so I left around 11:30AM and made sure I turned the sign over to state to Please Clean the Room. When I got back that night about 08:00PM, I notice the sign (to please clean the room) was still up hanging in the door handle. I walked in and the room was not made - towels all over the bathroom - so it was the way I had left it earlier that day. Went to the front desk to complain and he looked at the cleaning schedule and said he was sorry and that it would not happen again. Gave me some clean towels and send me in my way.

    Friday they did make the room. Saturday I had another appointment at noon time and again I put the sign out to please clean the room. When I was at the front desk, I told the person not the same one that was always asking me "did you order that" to make sure they clean the room cause it was not made the prior Thursday. I saw him write it down and told me no problem that he would make sure it got done. I came back again around 07:30 with some McDonald's takeout food which is next block over with a nice hot hamburger and cold milk shake. Again I see the sign on the door handle and said to myself they can't be that stupid and sure as hell the room again was not made.

    Went down to see the front desk and the one that I had complained before about the room not made was working. He looked at me and said not again and I said yes again. He gave me some towels and said he take care of me when I checked out. By this time the food that I was planning on eating was cold. The milk shake was all melted. So now I would not leave the room in the morning till I called the front desk and told them to had a cleaning person showed up to my room for the rest of the time that I was there. So now it is checkout time on Tuesday morning. Looked under the bed just in case I had dropped something and the biggest cockroach I have ever seen jumped from under my bed. Scared the ** out of me. When I gave back the keys, I was told that I would be credited with one night for my problems. I told them you can clean the room and get that cockroach out while you are at it. Never again will I ever stay in a Red Roof Inn.

    Googled "pet friendly motels" in Toms River, NJ, saw Red Roof Inn. I trusted Red Roof name. I called the #, reserved a room for 2 nights. Arrived there past weekend... Long story short, mold in bathroom, smoke filled hall, towels stained as well as linens & pillows that smelled so bad they needed to be thrown away. Come to find out, this It was a franchise & had been dropped in Feb 2014. Red Roof did NOT make sure that their logo was gone. Call the #, they say front desk. Ask who is this, they say Red Roof Inn. Key card envelopes say Red Roof. Telephones in room have Red Roof. Sign out front has TP Hotel on it during the day but come night w/ light on, you can see Red Roof Inn very plain.

    I called Red Roof Inn after this weekend at Bates Motel, & of course, they have nothing to do with it now... However, I told them they played a part in it as if they had done their job in the beginning making sure all Red Roof logos were gone, I wouldn't have fallen prey. They have turned it over to their legal dept. but I believe they owe me some type of compensation if only a complimentary night at a REAL Red Roof. They refused me... They shouldn't have dropped the ball back in February when the hotel became independent. I will NEVER stay at Red Roof again as I don't know for sure if it IS Red Roof!

    As to the filth, I've turned over to Jersey inspection compliance people which they say is only a yearly inspection and they can't MAKE them comply. I'm telling ya...the sheets were stained, filthy, and smelly. The mgr's on duty were arrogant & hostile. The people at the motel are on some type of gov't assistance so I'm sure the motel is getting paid to keep them. The police told me as I was leaving that the motel is a HIGH drug market. I knew none of this. Red Roof should've put it out somewhere to the consumers that this was not Red Roof! Shame on them. And shame on them for not offering me something as I had such faith in Red Roof Inn name, that's why I booked w/ them. Never again. I have pictures of the signs, the phones, my bank statement (Red Roof Inn got paid)... I'll be glad to submit these pictures.

    I stayed at the RED ROOF INN at Detroit - Saint Clair Shores for three nights, the 7th, 8th, and 9th. On August 10, 2013, I was abruptly awakened by pounding on our room (144) door, I observed a Roseville Police officer at the door so I opened the door. He immediately asked me if I heard "multiple gunshots or any glass breaking?" I received no explanation for this inquiry from any Red Roof staff, but I did get the full account from the guest from Florida, what had happened. They were asleep when "some woman threw a rock through their window", two windows down from mine, "She was looking for her husband and we told her he wasn't in the room".

    They stated, "She went for the lock on the door for her husband and we told her he wasn't in the room". They stated she went for the lock on the door and then aimed four side arms at her and told her "Get away now." She continued and the guests opened fire on her. They estimated they fired "14 shots at her." I contacted Red Roof Inn "customer relations" and was basically told by a rather flat affected representative, "There is nothing we can do for you about this." No, "We are sorry for your experience," nothing resembling customer care was expressed. Furthermore, on the night of the 7th of August, one bed sheet had a yellowish stain and long black hairs in it. So beware and protect yourself and those you care for. Beware.

My face was swollen and the marks were redder. I went to the ER and was told I had bedbug bites. I told the hotel after my doctor informed me what I had.

    Me and my family stayed at the Red Roof Inn on Corporate Circle in Harrisburg, PA on Saturday, August 18th, and it was an absolute nightmare. First when we arrived, the desk clerk "**" misquotes our rates and then tells us we cannot use our AAA discount because of what was going on in town that day. We reserved the rooms a week plus in advance and we were told to just present our card. After a half an hour debate, we just took the rooms because we had 4 small children (and 5 adults) with us and we just arrived off of a 3.5 hour drive. I put a request for a crib for my 8 month old during my initial online reservation and also told "**" at the desk. He said they would take care of it; again, nothing.

    Finally, we got our rooms and none of them were close together. I called early Saturday morning and specifically requested to have all 3 rooms close together because we have children in each room. Then to top it all off, I arrived home to Pittsburgh only to find that from letting my 8 month old bathe in the bathtub, I get to take him to the ER for a yeast infection on his backside! I was extremely disappointed in the service and professionalism. The only persons who were any type of help were the housekeepers; very nice ladies. Might want to consider giving those ladies jobs at the desk.

    Disabled Vet (lung COPD on oxygen). The request was non smoking with door outside, where we have stated several times before. I was informed they were booked up and no vacancy but they could find me a single for the wife and me if I would hold on the phone. He came back and said the LaQuita here downtown had a vacancy that met my needs and switched me to reservations, which I booked a room for three days. When we got to Brownsville and went to LaQuenta downtown they had no reservation under my name. That confused me. He said maybe they booked me up in Olmito, TX, 12 miles north of downtown. We drove up. The cleaning fluids was affecting me when I walked in (Pinesol) and the room was all the way down the hall at the end of the building that I had to go through to be able to get outside to fresh air with my condition.

    It's fraud to use a telephone setup webpage on the Internet to get the public that make reservations when the name of Red Roof Inn changed owners to Motel 6, took down their sign Red Roof Inn use the same Red Roof Inn phone number for reservations and direct you through another booking company named Expedia and not inform you how they made your reservation. And it cost me $190.07. I think it's a sorry mess to pull on a disabled veteran but I am sure Expedia will do someone else the next chance they get.

    My fiance' and I reserved a room online from Friday March 18, 2011 thru Sunday March 20, 2011. When we reserved, we reserved a non-smoking, king size room. The online website is totally deceiving. When we entered the Inn, the front desk representative was not at all professional. We noticed children freely roaming the Inn. As well there was a stench when entering the Inn. We continued to check in. As we enter the room it was very smokey, dirty, the lights were not working, there was a big hole in the heat and air-conditioning unit as I went to turn it on, the entire unit fell apart. The bed was a full size bed, not a king as well the window covering was barely hanging onto the rode.

    The room was the worst I had ever seen. It was not fit to be rented out neither is the entire hotel. It is not at all sanitary. There were cigarette burns on the tub. It was such a mess that we had to reserve a room elsewhere. When we spoke with the rep Leverne, she explained she needed to speak with her manager Jackie. Jackie instructed her to return our funds if we could find some place else to go. This Inn needs the Health Inspector to go in. It seems as if it is not up to code and should be taken off the market until drastic changes are made. Very dissatisfied and unhappy consumer!

    I received an e-mail stating, "Pets always stay free at Red Roof," and another offering a special deal of a room at $20 for any Red Roof on January 2, 2011. I made my reservation online (in which I stated I would be bringing my 2 small dogs) and received a confirmation e-mail showing my total with tax would be $22.12. When I arrived at the hotel in Rutland, VT, I was told for the first time that only one dog is allowed, the second dog’s fee is $20.00. I stayed the night and paid the extra fee. (What else could I do?) I then called their 1-800-red-roof number to complain, but after waiting on hold for 23 minutes, all I was told was, "There is nothing I can do, try calling back tomorrow." Instead, I began communicating with Red Roof by e-mails. Their reply was that I misunderstood, and they showed me the small print in one of their websites that states "One well-behaved family pet is permitted."

    Not suspecting that there would be a problem, I never hunted through their websites for their pet policy. The hotel knew I was bringing 2 dogs and never contacted me before I started my trip. I found in their websites this statement: "Our Commitment. The Red Roof Hassle-Free Guarantee because your comfort is our No. 1 priority! Should you have a concern during your stay, simply contact the front desk and allow us to address it. If we cannot resolve your concern prior to your departure, we don't expect you to pay for that night. It's what every stay should be with our Hassle-Free Guarantee."

    Because of the hassle I was put through, I don't think I should have to pay for my night stay. They ended up charging me double what they advertised. Their ads should show their true pet policy, my pets did not stay free at Red Roof!

    I stayed at this hotel with a group. We booked 2 adjoining rooms to accommodate a total of 7 people. Upon entering the hotel we noticed that it was crawling with crickets both outside the building and inside the halls. This was initially not so bad, until we noticed after check-in that the bugs were crawling all over the inside of our rooms as well. We still weren't completely disgusted until we saw the blood stains on both the headboard of one of the beds in Room 217 and bathroom of Room 219. Already seriously questioning the cleanliness of the establishment, we next found multiple dead crickets inside one of the pillowcases. Thoroughly disgusted, we pulled back the sheets of all of the beds only to find a live spider crawling around between the sheets of one of them.

    We called down to the front desk manager, who informed us that there was no staff available to change the bedding, but that we could carry the pillowcase full of dead bugs to the front desk ourselves if we wanted it replaced. After informing him that this was simply unacceptable, he told us that there was no manager on duty and that he would have to call the property manager on his cellphone to see what he could do. Several minutes and phone calls later, we were told that we could move to a new set of rooms.

    The second set of rooms was equally disgusting, if not more so. The second room was full of not only crickets and spiders, but also several cockroaches. We turned on the air conditioning unit and cockroaches swarmed out of it. We also found them in the bathroom and front hallway. Due to the thoroughly unsanitary conditions of the hotel, we decided to simply check out, leave and find other accommodations. We were in the rooms for less than half an hour total.

    As we had not actually stayed in our rooms and because their conditions were positively unlivable, we demanded our money back from the hotel. The front desk manager informed us that refunding our money would not be possible. He then refused to let us speak with the manager of the property. He also claimed to have inspected the rooms and found no evidence of any bugs, despite being shown picture evidence to the contrary. We did not have the foresight to photographically document the conditions inside all of the rooms, but we did manage to take several photos of Room 219, which are attached. Even as we debated the bug infestation with the front desk manager, bugs were crawling all over the lobby (and around the area containing food and drink) as well. We stomped on a cockroach crawling through the lobby within plain view of the front desk employee.

    The front desk employee was rude and derogatory to our group -- insulting us, calling us names and insisting that we were liars. He yelled at us in the lobby for several minutes and then threatened to have us forcibly removed from the property if we did not leave. All of this unreasonable conduct resulted merely from a simple and civil request for a refund based on the gross misrepresentation of the rooms. Eventually, in attempt to get us to leave, the front desk manager refunded one of the rooms and removed the charge from that credit card. However, he flatly refused to refund the charge to the second room.

    In an effort both to resolve this matter and to inform the appropriate authorities about the unsanitary conditions and unfair business practices allowed at the Red Roof Inn, we contacted the debit card company to dispute the charge, as well as Red Roof Inn corporate management, the local chapter of the Better Business Bureau, and the City of New Braunfels Health Department.

    However, given the recalcitrant and uncooperative nature of the management at Red Roof Inn, I have little hope that this matter will be resolved without outside intervention. All that we are asking for is a refund of the charge made on the debit card for the second room. It was misrepresented to us, we found it in absolutely deplorable condition, and we did not stay in it.

    It is worth noting that the New Braunfels Health Department informed us that they had received multiple other complaints against the Red Roof Inn that week alone. We booked new rooms at both the Quality Inn and Best Western in New Braunfels and neither hotel had any issue with bugs of any kind.

    I have never in my life encountered a hotel with such positively despicable conditions or a staff so unconcerned with the welfare of their guests. I hope these practices will not be allowed to continue for the welfare of future guests.
