    I didn’t feel very safe or comfortable. The bedding was stained, towels had stains, the chair was bent and broken, air conditioner (while it worked well) was broken, staff was not very friendly, and the neighborhood was not great. TV and WiFi also didn’t work.

    Red Roof customer service offered to give me 50% off which was not good enough. I slept in my car. I should have known something was amiss because there was security glass at the check in counter. Why would they need that??? Know I know. I'm sorry that 1 is the lowest trading because one is an insult to other properties with a 1 rating. AWFUL EXPERIENCE!

    I booked this hotel based on the other hotels.com reviews but now it is clear to me that most of the positive reviews are fake. I graduated from GCU and needed a cheap and clean place to stay. I wasn’t expecting much but this was a huge surprise… in the worst way. Upon arrival, I was met with the site of a pimp and 2 of his employees, one of which had no legs. I also saw several scary looking men, obviously on drugs. When I checked in, I was told that I was checking in to a smoke free room. Perfect, I don’t smoke. I walk in and I am hit with the smell of strong nasty cigarettes. Ew. We get into the room and it looks ok-ish at first but I quickly noticed the cigarette burns in the curtains, the mold in the shower, and the not so recently mopped floors. The only positives were the water pressure in the shower was good, the water temperature got nice and hot, and the fridge and microwave were clean and worked well. I absolutely would never come here again. Please do not come here if you are traveling with children. The yelp reviews mention multiple shootings in the parking lot. This was my bad for not doing more research before coming. Also, on our way out, I encountered another hooker whos nips and butt cheeks were completely out. Not what I was expecting to see at 7:45AM. Staff was polite

    I'm going to be fair, this motel is on what I would find out was a "bad side of town" in Phoenix. All this being said, and all things considered, the staff does what they can to keep it safe. The parking lot is gated so your car should be safe, and while the room has the kind of wear you'd expect in a motel in such a part of town, I've stayed in worse. Staff was friendly, and they had on site security. I give them a solid B minus. The air conditioner could probably use to be deep cleaned.

    The first room I was given smelled like marijuana, cigarette smoke, mold, and filth. So I asked for a new room. The new room smelled the same. This tells me that housekeeping probably uses the same bucket of dirty mop water for the whole hotel without changing it. The sheets were dirty, the toilet wouldn't flush, the channels on the TV didn't match the guide. The property looked like a lot of squatters live in this property. I will never stay here again.

    The first night the room was horrible. It Smelled awful (like a dead cat had been there) and cigarette smoke. The TV did not work properly. The air conditioner had a weird clinking noise and kept us up at night. We were super tired from drive and just stayed the night. In the morning we switched rooms and the new one was fine. Clean, decent and we were happy for the money. The first night the room was horrible. It Smelled awful (like a dead cat had been there) and cigarette smoke. The TV did not work properly.

    Arrival felt less like check-in and more like entering a VIP event where the dress code is “follow the car in front of you and hope for the best.” Gated? Yes. Secure? Let’s call it… optimistic. Bonus entertainment included distant gunshots, tire screeches, police lights like a disco ball and some very entrepreneurial night walkers making their rounds. Don’t make eye contact if you aren’t look for a short term roommate for the night. The room itself had personality. The mattress, for example, tried to fold me into it like a taco the moment I sat down. I’m not that heavy, but it clearly had ambitions. Sheets were bug-free (huge win), though they did feature a few artistic burn holes…abstract expressionism, cigarette edition. Cockroaches were very kind to stay outside, or at least not make an appearance inside so for that I am thankful. The bathroom? A visual experience. I considered showering but ultimately decided my shoes deserved better, and my dignity agreed. End result: I slept in my clothes, hood up, headphones on, door locked like Fort Knox, and one eye open like a paranoid raccoon. Woke up alive, car still there, and honestly… that’s a successful stay. Would I recommend it? Only if you enjoy a little adrenaline with your overnight accommodations. Not for the faint of heart, but definitely unforgettable.

    When I arrived arrived it was immediately obvious that the surrounding area was sketchy. Saw a person walking and looked completely naked. The hotel is gated, I am assuming for that reason. The room seemed to have repairs that were not complete like a patched whole on the wall, there were also all sorts of stains on the walls.

    We were pleasantly surprised by how clean the room was! Especially when you consider that this is a pet-friendly motel! The room was cleaner than even many 4-star, expensive hotels. While the hotel has suffered some maintenance issues, the cleanliness was outstanding. If I could give it a 6-star review, I would.

    Bathroom had missing drain plug, floor tiles missing, etc. The kicker was the smoke alarm battery dying and beeping very loud. Maintenance was gone for the night, so we moved rooms at almost midnight, so we didn’t have to listen to it all night long. Would NEVER stay here again!

    Very secure, never seen a motel with a gate and armed police, room was fine-an odd stain on the door by the handle-food can be ordered securely through a service without having to deal with the gate-prefer all white bedspreads-Im a sucker for a motel room that smells like cigarettes-Modern updates with some wear and tear but for the price I'm not a complainer...Couldn't tell if there was lots nearby-gate prohibitive....Area def has signs of life but car needed....

  • Ching Mar 2026 · via hotels.com

    The room itself had multiple serious issues. The air conditioning unit was extremely loud and rattling constantly, making it nearly impossible to rest. Even worse, the room was supposed to be non-smoking but smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. It quickly became clear that the guest in the neighboring room was actively smoking, and the smell was coming directly into my room. This created a real health concern. I have asthma, and the smoke odor triggered a flare-up that led to a minor asthma attack. Because of this, I did not feel safe staying in the room overnight. Ultimately, I had to leave and find last-minute accommodations elsewhere, which was stressful and expensive late at night. If a room is advertised as non-smoking, it should actually be smoke-free. Between the loud AC unit, the smoke entering from the neighboring room, and the difficult check-in experience, the stay was completely unacceptable. I hope Hotels.com and the property take these issues seriously so other guests do not experience the same situation.

    Family with 2 kids and the tv didnt work from the time we walked in the room we let front desk know about it the first day it was 1am when we checked in so i didnt expect it to be fixed that night. Told the front desk in the moring for 2 days straight and the tv never got fixed! Problem 2 bugs 2 many to be excused and the burns in the wood and the bath tube is crazy. Dont go over one block or if thats what you looking for its prostitutes deep on that block! We will never stay in Midtown or another redroof inn. Ps they did give us half our money back should have to give it all back 2 stars is false advertisement its a 1 star at best.

    The front desk was behind plexiglass there was a security guard there. To get into the parking lot you had to have a room key because it was fenced in. We had to go to the front desk each evening when we got back to the hotel as our keys would not work. The room was suppose to be non-smoking but reeked of smoke the bathroom door wouldn’t close. The linens were stained and the pillows were so bad that even doubled they were not the greatest. The furnace is damaged. It sounded like there was a racetrack outside of the room

The front door did not completely seal. It has a visible gap towards the bottom where air, and noise was coming through. The safety door latch was not secure. We reserved the room for two nights and cancelled the second night. I took pictures of all of this, it was the worst hotel experience. I am hoping to get a full refund for the second night.

    If you’re visiting Arizona for the first time or just looking for an inexpensive place to stay, do not make this your home away from home. This place is far below average. The room was in terrible condition and did not seem up to code. The bathroom toilet literally stopped working while my husband was using it. The room also had a strong, unpleasant smell, and we did not feel comfortable using the bedding or towels—I would recommend bringing your own if you decide to stay here. To make things worse, they have roaches. I woke up at 6 AM to roaches in the room, which was absolutely unacceptable and disgusting. The phones didn’t work, and when we tried to get help, the staff was unaccommodating. The housekeepers were rude and unhelpful, which only made the experience worse. Overall, this hotel is poorly maintained, unsanitary, and not worth the money. I would not stay here again and do not recommend it.

    When I got in the room I killed some cockroaches. Then when I went to go to bed there was cigarette burns and dried semen on all of bedding. Then I went to the front desk and they gave me some more bedding that also had a bunch of cigarette burns in them. The floor and the top of the toilet seat had burns as well. By far the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my 50 years of life. I thought I I might just get a STD from staying there I was up and out of there at 6:00am. Not to mention the homeless people and the signs telling me that I can't carry my gun in the place that well warrants carrying one. The conditions where atrocious and should be shut down for just the unsanitary conditions

    The overall cleanliness and safety for myself was not good at all. There were two cops there just standing in the back with the hotel lobby attendant. The room was super dirty and it probably relates to the life of the property and the are of town it is in. I will never stay at a Red Roof In again and will share my experience with others who stay in that area also

    The room was extremely dirty and smelled overwhelmingly of smoke. The towels had visible dirt stains and long black hairs on them, and the sheets and pillows were also stained. The entire room had such a strong smoke odor that our clothes and backpacks still smell, and I now have to replace clothing because it won’t come out. I arrived alone with my small child at 1 a.m., and the condition of the room made me feel unsafe and uncomfortable. This was by far the worst room I’ve ever stayed in. Avoid this property.

    Building is right next to the freeway so was very loud. That and the paranoia of leaving my car outside in that sketchy neighborhood made it hard to sleep. Outside of building smelled like urine and marijuana and was filled with drug dealers and prostitutes. The bathroom had boogers on the wall and pubic hair on the toilet (which barely worked by the way). The only thing good about my stay was that I don't think I got bedbugs and my car didn't get broken into. Awful place, avoid at all costs, unless you're looking to buy or sell drugs I guess.

    Worst hotel i have ever stayed at. Was housing homeless and prostitutes. Room smelled like weed and tobacco. Sheets and window curtains were littered with cigarette burns. The toilet would fill right up to the top of the bowl every time it was flushed and when i called for a plunger they said when they couldnt find one but when they did they would come to the room. Never came. There were homeless living in broken down campers in the parking lot. One of them had a 5 gallon water jug filled halfway with urine. Terrible hotel. Wouldnt stay there again if it was free.

    My key card stopped working after every night and I had to keep getting it reactivated at the front desk. Which was somewhat hard to locate and not obvious. Parking lot is confusing and mostly gated off, and yes as a woman traveling alone it is sketchy and feels unsafe. Many characters roaming around, including someone selling dogs out of a crate out front. There was an armed security guard at one point. Thankfully I just needed a place to sleep for a few nights and didn’t care. It worked for that. It was surprisingly quiet during the night, no yelling or loud TV noises.

With that said, I think the staff try to do what they can to get their job done. Front desk late at night (checked in at 10:30 pm after a late flight) was nice, security offered to walk us to our building. Cleaning lady knocked and offered to clean the room the following day. Most of the property if fenced off --iron fence that's not very tall but possibly helps with safety.
