Red Roof Inn Washington, DC

Good

we got a smoking room while we asked for non smoking. :-(

It was close to everything that we needed, the staff was great, and accomdating we were a large group. The tubs were cracked and rusty, lack of towels and when we asked room service for more she told us there wasn't any. The towels were also super small

It was hot, and I don't think there was any way to change temperature in the room. It felt like there was no air condidtioning at all.

Stayed here for work. Chose this “hotel”because the pictures looked decent, wrong! More like a motel, sketchy, and unsafe. Saw a man walk out his room naked!

Everything was nice and clean. Staff very helpful

The room was comfortable and homely Looking for the receptionist and lack of readily available tea/coffee

Smells cigarette. It is cheap, so I guess rooms are not really at the standard I expect.

No kettle in the room for coffee .No tissue paper was available at the room & reception.. Need to improve for general customer requirements

Need to improve for general customer requirements

Safe

no Shampoo-One bar of soap. No Iron or Ironing board. No Blow dryer.

It was in a convenient spot for sure, but the place is kind of run down. Our room was pretty dirty with trash under the sofa and hairs in the bed.

A no for me!

Everything was great

Literally the second worst room I’ve ever stayed in.

Clean. Fair value for the price. Very helpful staff.

The only “issue” we had was that our room door had to be pushed hard to actually latch shut. Other than that, it was a great stay. Conveniently located. Friendly staff.

This was the worse hotel experience I have ever had. The place was filthy, bathroom was covered with pubic hair, dried blood spots on the bed coverings, smelled of mildew, not even an alarm clock, no toiletries, and the room had only open power outlet. Seriously you should be ashamed of having this hotel on your website.

The room was clean, but there there were long black hairs on the bath mat. The controls on the heating/air conditioner were broken, so couldn’t be adjusted.

Room was clean for the most part. AC barely seemed to work. Early in morning they were working on power which was causing ac unit to cut on and off with loud beeping. Water pressure was terrible.

For what you pay, this is a good hotel. Good location and reasonable prices. If all what you need is a clean room, it is a good choice

solid

Parking was easy, but with the people out there smoking weed, you may just get a contact high walking to your room. Cleaning staff had no idea where the check in office was nor if I could get more than 2 towels for for people or if the dirty blankets on both beds could be changed. Wi-Fi... If you wanna call it that... Was spotty at best.

I could count a number of stains on the bed sheets. The room smelled like a smoker's house. The AC unit did not work so I woke up sweaty. And the door latch was broken.

We enjoyed our stay with our dog. Room was spacious and clean. Friendly staff. Well located near union Market.

Sink is outside the toilet

I told you with the stars rating TRASH

The room smelled like dirty socks and shoes… the mattress was very dirty with nasty stains. The white sheets had stains on them and the blankets was dingy looking. It took a long time before the shower water became hot. I ask the desk for some fresh sheets and towels and they told me they didn’t have any more sheets available

The microwave was louder than a motorcycle, and both the coffee maker and hair dryer didn’t work because the outlet was broken—which the front desk already knew about. There was no shampoo or bath soap provided. I booked a three-night stay but had to get my key reactivated at the front desk every single day. Overall, a very frustrating experience.

The microwave was louder than a motorcycle, and both the coffee maker and hair dryer didn’t work because the outlet was broken—which the front desk already knew about. There was no shampoo or bath soap provided. Hair in the bathroom floor corners. No drain stopper for the bath tub, so I couldn't soak my feet after a long day's work. I booked a three-night stay but had to get my key reactivated at the front desk every single day. Overall, a very frustrating experience. I give the hotel one star because there is no lower option. The staff was OK, I suppose there was nothing they could do, they only work there. I would stay there even if they pay me to. The worst experience I ever had!

Roach motel

Great stay

All good. The only thing was a large amount of dog feces was in the area where I parked near my room.

Overall was good for the price, refrigerator was not working, it’s good to get there with a car since has nothing close to walk to eat or you will spend a lot in delivery.

Ok

D

Dirty beds, sheets were covered in hair and make up. Heat only got warm, bathroom was cold. Do not recommend.

The towels were *filthy*, the bedding had burn holes, the refrigerator was leaking, the tv remote had dead batteries. This was a first for me.

Extremely disappointing stay. Room was dirty, smelled bad, and lacked basic items like blankets. Heating didn’t work, making the room freezing. Staff was unresponsive despite a 24-hour front desk.

Left, rebooked elsewhere, refund was prompt for prepaid days from Expedia that were not used.

It was a nice location

The room was pretty comfortable.

The staff tried to charge me for the room thriple

Moths everywhere hard to fall asleep

Parking was extremely convenient.

We arrived and early and couldn’t check in. They kept our bags for us. The room was clean and the price was right. It was close enough to Howard University and that’s what we were there for. In and out.

Pls fix TV because it is not connected at room 115, but good thing I use my iPad with free WiFi.

I like everything in this hotel, was safety, clean room, good location, nice staff and very good price. If I will need room in Washington DC, I will go to Red Roof. Thank you !!!

It was okay, sheets were not clean. They had small hairs on them. Blankets were super thin.

Clean room, handicap accessible which was right beside the handicap spaces. Nice room for the price.

Clean room

Room was too old, parking was safe.

Room was clean

It was clean but the rooms and lobby could be updated but you get what u pay for

The gentleman changed our room from smoking to non. We had to book this hotel very last min, ours closed down two days before our trip. They were very helpful and friendly.

The floor and sink was dirty. 20mins walk back and forth to the train station. No breakfast, only coffee before 9am. Yes you can smoke good thing but overall, never again.

I did not like the evening staff when i checked in. I asked a question about how my information was kept and he was "annoyed". In this time of identity theft i want to ensure or at least minimize that my information is secure!!!

Nice place to stay overnight.

It was ok

The TV not working. Even water is not available. Dirty. Person after 2:00PM was very rude.

Beds were comfortable

On top of that, basic amenities like shampoo were not provided in the room and only available by request, which added to the inconvenience. Would not recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and secure stay.

Nothing special from the outside but ok in the room

Convenient

The room was nice but I could hear traffic on the street throughout the night as it was very loud and it made it hard to sleep and in the morning I could hear people in the adjacent rooms

Bedbug

My first room ac unit wasnt working, clerk upgraded me to another room for free. Had a good night and would stay again

The train that runs near isnt as loud as other reviews state, I personally didnt mind it. Things were clean. No complaints, would stay again!

The floors were filthy. Property and air conditioning outdated. Limited parking due to maintenance and filthy/non working ice machine. Had to rewash my feet after showering because I didnt put shoes or socks on right away.

It was a good crash pad

As for the room, while it looked like it had been partially remodeled, there were still a lot of issues. Rusty fixtures, no ventilation in the bathroom, and worst of all—the floors were absolutely filthy. After just a few minutes walking around, my socks and feet were completely black. That level of dirtiness is unacceptable. We were only provided with two small bath towels and half a roll of toilet paper for a three-night stay, which felt very unprepared and inconvenient. We ended up making a trip to the target down the street to get toilet paper and some bath towels because the front office door was locked both times we went to get the supplies. Would not stay here again unless major improvements are made in cleanliness, amenities, and customer service. This is the cheapest hotel in the area.

Out of the way motel with no dining

It’s just a step above “gross,” and not a very big step.

It was a decent and cheap place to stay, the main downside was it's kind of isolated on what is basically a highway, and it's a 7-10 min walk to literally anything else. Not a problem if you're driving but if you want to walk or use transit it's a little inconvenient.

Taking a shower made the entire bathroom into a puddle. There is no exhaust fan or window that can be open. When I asked for more towels, I was given one towel and told I have to wait until tomorrow. BTW i had 2 guest.

Good location but was not aware a train ran underneath the hotel. A train yard is right behind the hotel. No place to sit except on the bed. No hair dryer in room. Key card only works for one day then you have to go to the office and be issued a new one.

Clean rooms. Soap and towels provided. Drinking water not provided. Kettle not present. WiFi was unsecure. Would like a microwave/coffee machine too, but this is asking a lot honestly. Garbage bins should have a cover on them. Bathrooms vents didn't seem to be working.

Mold in shower woke up with red marks

Spacious room, easy parking, fast check-in

The hotel is what you would expect for the price. The guy at the Front desk was nice. However, housekeeping opened my door without knocking by while I wasn’t dressed. The room also had a foul moldy smell.

It was cleaner than the Motel 6 down the street.

It was nasty, cigarette burns in linen and on trays, found some kind of pill on the floor !!! Would have definitely left , but was late and wouldn't have been able to get out of city and found somewhere else!

Everything has been amazing ! Thank for the stuff to be so polite and nice

The hotel stay was good enough to get a nights rest. This hotel is great for times when you are being budget friendly and it doesn’t matter where you stay at. There are some remodeling that needs to be done but other than it was ok

It was clean and good for the night we were there.

Not bad, but not great. Staff wouldn't look if we could check in early. Would only advise that check in was at three, it became apparent that half the hotel was empty so not sure why we couldn't. The did hold our bags for us but which was good.

A lot of bugs and roaches worst hotel experience and you can tell I stay at a lot of them.

This hotel was dirty and infested with bugs, I would not recommend to anyone!!!

No sidewalks on busy road. Very noisy traffic and train traffic. Stank of cigarette smoke. Won't be back

Although a bit dated the room was clean and comfortable. The staff were polite and helpful. Continental breakfast available each day. Free parking. Mile walk to the metro and bus connections. Ok in nice weather otherwise $10.00 taxi trip.

Pillows terrible. TV didn't work. Shower inadequate. No outlet at desk. Staff not helpful or friendly.

The hotel is a budget one so no big expectations but Internet is not there, phones don't work breakfast is a disaster

The staff was cordial enough. The Continental Breakfast was okay at best. The room was fine with minor but ignorable wear and tear. Free HBO was nice though.

The location of the hotel is close to a very busy road (New York Ave). It is very difficult to cross the road or to take the car out of the hotel. Also this area of Washington DC is bad. The attractions of DC are minutes away and a Metro station is near by.

I stayed there with my family for just a night. Staff was really helpful and the breakfast is OK. Free parking is great, they have cameras, so didn't have any problems leaving my car there. The room is really old and it smell odd. We found a hair in one of the towels, disgusting. If is just for a night, I think you'll be fine, the hotel is cheap, it compensates.

There were cockroaches behind the bed. Dirty carpet and holes in them. Peeling seiling in the bathroom. Not enough room at breakfast we had to wait for chairs to sit in.

The front desk is behind glass . Rude people hanging out inside. Good place for thugs to hide out

Everything was good even though it was all last minute. Front desk guy was great.

The hotel is above the railway line and the vibrations were terrible all night

There was no enough TV channels for kids or adults and some channels are not even clear. Air condition we so loud which bothers us (kids) during our stay. They provide free wi-fi but speeds are very low. I prefer to pay little extra with peace.

Breakfast was not good. It's just toast, mink muffle, bagles, milk, coffe and orange juice.

Our room was at one end of motel and wifi was nonexistent. Neighborhood was bad. Parking was easy and well lite up.

Checkin was quick, room was clean, service was good.

Hotel rattled every time a train went by. Room smelt of smoke dispite being a non-smoking room. There were burn marks on the toilet seat and bedspread. TV was old.

room is big but not very clean and comfy bad smell

Our room and beds were both large and comfortable. The air conditioner worked, the refrigerator worked, and the alarm worked, enabling my vacation to be enjoyable and pleasant.

Useful and near the subway.

The awesome staff more than makes up for the less than stellar facilities... Not a vacation spot, but ease of access to the metro served me well this Independence Day..

The hotel is not a good looking, but it's very convenient if you want to be close to downtown. It was good for us as we only stayed for 1 night and didn't spent time at the hotel. It depends on your budget and preferences.

My family (husband & two children) and I were traveling to Washington from Michigan. I called the hotel, as a courtesy, about 9:00pm to inform them that we were still on the road and that we weren't going to check-in until after midnight. The Desk Clerk informed me that they had given our room away (double beds)and that they only had one room left (king bed). When I booked the room I was told that my room would be guaranteed until midnight. Thank God I called when I did!! Sleeping with my kids wasn't pleasant, with all the kicking, twisting and turning that they do. But, at least we didn't have to sleep in the car!! After checking in, I tried calling the front desk for a wake up call, but, our phone didn't work. Also, our toilet leaked.

No good

Very dirty! Bad service. We asked for towels the front desk told us to come get it ourselves.

Good hotel if you drive to D.C. downtown is walking distance but neighborhood bit scary

It was ok, but didn't get the room as we requested.

Very shady area not close to affections as said and would not walk around the area at night

terrible location, no restaurants nearby, drug dealer in the parking lot, difficult to access due to heavy traffic

Broken furniture, filthy carpet, broken bathroom door, multiple cigarette burns on the blankets, old TV with remote. Stayed 4 days and my bed sheets were never changed once.

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for 3 days. They did not clean the room or replace the towels when we asked them (or when indicated by the door sign). When we asked the front staff, they said it wasnt their fault and 'its the Day Shift's fault'. Very unprofessional. Do not stay at this hotel unless you want bad service.

Just dirty. Office staff was smoking in the office cabin and chatting with cab driver. Need renovation, paint, landscape.

It was in a bad and kind of unsafe area of dc. It is a 15 minute walk away from the nearest metro, and you have to walk along the freeway on a dirat road. The internet connection was bad in my room. But you get what you pay for right?

Reasonable rate, close enough to Metroline for traveling into the city.

접근성도 엄청 떨어진다. 차가 없으면 너무 불편한 위치로서 대중교통과의 접근성이 떨어지고 도보로 이용할 경우 너무 한적하여 위험한 느낌이 든다.

It didn't stayed there I went inside the room, removed the comforter and there it was, a long black disgusting hair in the sheets. Then went over to the other bed and the same, more hair on the sheets

Overall, our stay was quite comfy. It was very clean. It wasn't as close to the metro as we thought, about 3/4mi and it was a very hot walk. Our first night, we had to call the manager to get rid of some people pounding on our door, apparently they had the wrong room. Other than that, we were very pleased with the comfort and cleanliness. The staff was very pleasant. We took taxis back in the eves and it averaged about $15 for 2 of us. They 4 of ea towels in the room, which is great and hard to come by sometimes.

We were on a field study trip (5th - 10th graders) all the way from Inglewood, CA. It was our intent to stay here from Monday afternoon until our early check out on Saturday morning. As we pulled into the parking lot many of the chaperones noticed a "woman" who was obviously a "pleasure specialist" if you will. A car pulls in, she hops in and they pull off. A truck pulls in a few moments later and drops off a different woman. The lead chaperone decides we won't be spending more than one night here; we all agree. We get the keys to our rooms. One of our chaperones opens her door to see the belongings of the current occupant still in the room. She has to be issued another room. I take my girls to our room. It just feels like an icky place. I go into the bathroom to relieve myself (after a quick prayer), and go to wash my hands only to find that there are no toiletries. No soap, shampoo, conditioner, shower cap, or any of the usuals that await you in a freshly stocked hotel room. The room smells heavily of smoke. The solution? Someone comes to the room and sprays some sort of aerosol. Doesn't help. Thankfully the lead chaperone was able to find a hotel with seven rooms available the next day. We couldn't get out of here fast enough. Special note: the website specified that they were within 2 miles of the National Mall. False. It was about 4-5 miles.

I just stay because it is 6 minutes away from union station!

No restaurants to eat in that area. Breakfast only served until 9am. But near enough to downtown to take taxi cheap. Room was very convenient. Overall: happy for choosing this motel for that price. Oh ya... Train tracks right behind!

- can't communicate with room staff -no English - a less than fragrant odor of both old and fresh URIN at every stair well and observed a fresh deposit of URIN running across the sidewalk - don't think about any walk after dark - - -Won't be going back to this hotel again!!!

We loved how close it was to the subway which could get us to all the sites in just minutes. It was also close enough to walk if you like exercise!

Not a bad hotel, good price for an overnight stay.

If you need a roof over your head and at a good deal this place is perfect. It is not fancy or a 5-star but its close to the heart of DC.

when we checked in, we asked for a room on the second floor. This was denied with the reason that all other rooms were occupied. As is standard procedure, we signed a document which advised us of the penalty for smoking in the room. Both my girlfriend and I are non-smokers, so we had no problems complying with this request. However, as soon as we entered the room, the smell of cigarette smoke was overwhelming. Moreover, the room was extremely seedy and in disrepair: vents not properly installed and hanging from walls, electric connection socket to a/c torn from wall, graffiti on wall, gum on carpet, several large stains on chair, filthy and rusty bathroom vent, etc, etc. Moreover, no hair dryer (its holder was on wall, without the hair dryer) and no safe as had been advertised.Also, but less important: the TV had no remote and the reception was very poor. Seemed to be from the 1980s. Under the circumstances, the room was relatively clean, so housekeeping cannot be blamed. However, the maintenance was just horrendous and we took pictures to substantiate our review which we will gladly submit to you. We did stay the two nights as we had already guaranteed payment some months ago. All hotels we stayed so far through your organization, whether last year in Italy and this year in Germany and Austria, plus the previous stay in Savannah, have been satisfactory and some even great. This one should be taken off your list.

Location was great. Place looked a little too dim due to lack of lighting but interior was great.

The receptionist could not speak english or understand. The room floors were bad. Too far off from the must-see sight. Remote, not close to any rest aurant or other food joint.

Nothing special. Travel with our dog. Been disappointed at a few places with M6. Tried this chain but not much better, A cut above but only a small slice. Breakfast not much - good if you enjoy doughnuts for a meal.

Hair dryer can not use, and nobody helped us change one.

you can walk from the motel to the next metro station (along the highway for half a mile, but possible)

The general condition of the hotel was poor. The crew was good about cleaning litter in the parking lot. The continental breakfast was very poor. The muffins and donuts were at least day old if not older.

We had a great mini vacation ..everything was in walking distance distance people all friendly. Great night life great food and very close to metro of not wanting to walk over five stars

The room was large with a single King-size bed and refrigerator. The Bathroom looked new. They had a continental breakfast. I had coffee donuts on the run. It was a 30 minute walk to the Convention Center.

The room was located on the bottom floor and was too cold (January). the heater wasn't enough. Also some noises from the road nearby throughout the night was disturbing.

It was a place to rest for the night. Needed a place to rest my head during a long road trip and it served that purpose. As far as everything else it was subpar at best. Room was dingy, reminded me of the types of seedy motels in movies. In comparison I stayed at another hotel along my travel for half the price and got way better results. If you need a place to stay for a night with no expectations.......this is the place, otherwise look elsewhere.

Was not so far from 1st street E and the price is good given there is free parking.

I had an excellent stay and would not hesitate to return on my next trip to washington dc I took ear plugs and never used them.

I needed a place to sleep over. That's what I got.

not worth the money is a very dangerous location, this is because of the bullet proof glass at the check-in counter

The hotel is old but furniture and equipment are all mostly brand-new and all in great shape. I'd definitely stay here again next time.

Felt like I was going to be attacked by one of the other people staying there....scary noises...pretty sure a guy in the lobby was on drugs when I was checking in. Terrifying experience

Rude staff members, who treat their guest like cattle!! I wont be returning to this dive!!!

This hotel left much to be desired. The area was close to downtown Washington but very bad neighborhood. The rooms we musty and the were cigar burns in the covers. The desk man was busy tring to get the local girls into rooms for the right price. The traffic had me thinking they were being charged by the hour.

I'm very relaxed about hotels, VERY RELAXED. Still I have to say this was not a very pleasant experience. The motel is in very poor conditions, no presure in the sink faucet, poor presure in the shower. Horrible towels. The only good thing was the guy in the front desk, he was very kind and attentive. The other good thing is having the continental breakfast included, which is good despite of not having a broad selection of products.

OK FOR THE PRICE - COULD HAVE USED SOME EXTRA PILLOWS. THE ROOM STILL HAD SOME STRONG SMOKING SMELL - POSSIBLY FROM THE PREVIOUS OCCUPANTS. AFTER DARK, THE HOTEL SEEMS TO BE IN A RATHER LONELY SPOT.
