The room was clean, and the staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. One of the biggest positives was the pricing. The rate was very reasonable, and I appreciated the value for the money. The main difference I noticed compared to past Red Roof stays was the room fragrance. It’s been a few years since I’ve stayed at a Red Roof Inn and primarily they have been in Virginia Beach, but I don’t remember those rooms having the same scent. To be clear, it was not a bad, dirty, or musty smell, and the room appeared clean. It seemed more like a cleaning product or air freshener that just wasn’t particularly appealing to me. The bed was okay and provided a decent night’s sleep, but the A/C making a distinct noise kept waking me up, but I'm a light sleeper. I would likely stay here again for a quick overnight stop because of the excellent pricing and great staff. However, it probably wouldn’t be my top choice for a full-day or multi-night stay. Overall, it was a clean, affordable hotel with friendly service and good value for the price.

Convenient location They advertise breakfast on the property, but nothing was available. They don’t serve breakfast. The hotel was Dirty. I ended up cleaning it myself. There were multiple stains all over the sheets and bedspreads. The tiles were not clean either. I ended up going to buy my own at the store.

When we called the front desk to let them know we weren't going to be checking in, we called twice then on the third time someone picked up. Then while we were talking the receptionist hung up on us. Either way we were out $100.

We were driving from Georgia to Massachusetts and needed a place to rest for the night. This was the most affordable option in the area, which is why we chose it. However, upon arrival, we didn’t feel comfortable with the location—it didn’t seem like the safest environment, especially since we were traveling with two children and a dog. Ultimately, we decided not to check in and continued driving through the night for peace of mind. It may be an acceptable option for adult travelers, but families with kids may want to use caution when considering this location.

The front desk was friendly Trash cans were all full. Garbage everywhere. Used drug syringes on the ground everywhere. Hair in bed and poor building conditions. I stayed at the "motel" for maybe an hour and was very uncomfortable so i left. I was double charged for the room. Not happy at all. The staff said take it up with booking.com and it was not their problem. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

This was a great stay, except the cigarette smell. The room was clean, the price was right, the propert was secure. I know Phillip Morris is right down the road, but the room just smelled. They tried to clean it out, i think, but it doesn't work. They didn't hold a credit card for incidentals. Maybe they should. Otherwise, good place.

Room was dirty, linen was dirty, bed spread was stained. Room smelled like excessive lysol over cigarette smoke. After consideration, I decided to check out and not use the room! So my plan to stay in the area after a long day and get a good nights sleep never happened. I left and continued my drive tired!
- 1/5
We arrived after a long drive to find dirty bedding. When given the option to use two other rooms they were even dirtier. I could not stay in such a health hazard and left and was not given a refund. I plan to take this to social media if I don’t get some resolve.
- 1/5
This was the most poorly kept hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. The power outlets aren’t properly mounted to the wall and are a fire hazard. The whole room and especially the AC unit had years of dust and grime caked to it. There were stains on the sheets, and I was genuinely concerned for the safety of my family.

I came down there for my aunt funeral and I’m a woman who was by myself. There was strange men knocking on hotel door late a night. Made me scared and uneasy did not sleep all night for fear of something getting in my room. Was too scared to take a shower last night because of this. Other than that the staff was very friendly and the room was clean.

The sheets appeared clean and the king bed was reasonably comfortable. As we travel with our small dog and needed a place for 1 night while heading home it was just OK. I don't think we will be returning to the area but if we do I believe I would find other accommodations.

Went to check in and multiple people were screaming at the desk clerk wanting refunds, I felt bad for the poor guy, it's not his fault he couldn't do anything about it since it was midnight. The room did smell like cigarettes and there was some damage in the room but nothing too bad. We did notice one cockroach but I flushed it and I didn't notice anything else really. Dirty hotel but still not the worst place I've ever stayed.

The staff was courteous and very helpful with any questions. Response from staff when I had an issue was quick and immediate. Affordable. Cons: The room was not that clean. Cigarette smoke odor was potent in both rooms. The smell is still stuck on my clothes two days later. Beddings had visible stains on them. The area around the toilet was leaking so anytime you stepped into the bathroom, water would come up between the seams in the flooring. Yes, that’s right, toilet water coming up from the floors. I let them know and they promptly switched my room, no extra charge. The new room had no leak, but it was just as run-down. There were numerous loud fights going on outside and in some of the rooms during the day and through the night.

The room was not the Superior Room like we booked and paid for. It wasn't a king. No towels or anything to dry off with or shower with. No microwave, no fridge,no coffee pot and the room smelled like heavy smoke. There was drug paraphernalia in the room. Called front desk right away and the guy waas extremely rude and didn't offer to make anything right. The heat didn't work and we we're in a sever snow storm .Phone also did not work. The floors were black and disgusting. Black mold all in the bathrooms. Tried again this morning upon checkout to speak with the front desk lady and she was extremely rude and aggressive and i felt very threatened we have been staying with Red Roof Inn for years because the rooms,customer service and just all around first class amazing treatment with our stay but after this visit I don't think my husband and I will be staying at any of your establishments after the way we've been treated and with what we had to sleep in last night after driving over ten hours.I also have plenty of pictures of the condition the room was in and we will be reaching out to corporate about this matter. Thank you amd have a great day!

One thing about hotels in DC that all owned by foreigners and they don't care how they treat people with the conditions of their rooms most of the time when they come over from a different country they're trying to spread the disease kill people I think that this was the case luckily I was able to get to the ER and I was cleared if any illnesses but it did show that this place has an infestation
