The room was very clean, updated and spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The property is located in a wooded area by a busy intersection but it's very quiet. The air conditioning is great and the parking is very convenient. The location is great! Only five miles in one direction from Chapel Hill district and five miles in the other direction from Duke. I would definitely stay here again.

I really don't expect a lot from a 2 star hotel other than a half way decent place to sleep and wash up. This didn't even meet that. I had reserved an accessible room. The room had a bathtub, not a walk-in/roll-in shower option. But that wouldn't have made any difference, because while the water turned on and off for the bathtub, the diverter to have the water flow to the shower head didn't work at all! So even though I wanted to take a shower, I couldn't. And then, there weren't even any towels to dry yourself off with anyway! There was one hand towel and one washcloth, no bath towels - and no hairdryer either to dry yourself off without a towel. The room reeked of marijuana which is still illegal in NC. While the location is super convenient, this is definitely not someplace I would ever stay again.

I confirmed the day before I’d be checking in by 11pm, they said I had until midnight. Even I arrived exhausted from traveling at 1031pm they said they cancelled my reservation and gave the room away because I didn’t answer their call when. Prostitues and a pimp were working the parking. Employee Victor was unprofessional and it took me till 1am to find another hotel, thankfully I did and it was so much better than this dump.

The staff was weird from the start. I booked a two bed room and when I went to check in the staff guy tried to tell me I only booked a 1 bed room. He said they didn’t have any two bedrooms available. He was convinced that I didn’t book a two bedroom so I showed him proof on the reservation website, he was like “fine I will upgrade you for free to our two bedroom”. Right after he said he didn’t have any two bedrooms. Very weird. I had an assumption that he was gonna try to upcharge me if I didn’t have proof. After that event we got to the rooms and the bathroom was a mess. Mold on the ceiling, half of of the popcorn ceiling was hanging down and smelled horrible. Bed weren’t horrible and didn’t have bedbugs as far as I could tell. But hey it was cheap but still ridiculous.

I stayed here last year and it was a good experience. This visit will be my last. The bed was uncomfortable. It felt like I was sleeping on a box spring with a mattress cover on top. The weather was 80-90’s and the AC did not cool the room. It seemed the fan was trying to die. There was a problem with the water and the shower, toilet, and sink could not be used for several hours. This was not a good experience

The rating im giving the hotel is based soley on the management and their lack of support of a customer that stay at their location multiple times a year. I accidently book3d the wrong 3 days and wasnt aware until i arrived the week prior. Once figuring out the mistake, attempted to work with this booking site and the hotel with no luck. Ended uppaying for the room and manager to move the datesto

Now I’ve been in motels that you avoid even taking a shower because of fear of the walls and ceilings, but those were like half the price as this. I’ll give them credit, the top parts of the wall had repairs/ fresh paint to fix what use to be there, but there were still rust spots and black spots.

Stayed here while my son toured UNC… Staff was polite. Room was terrible. People were smoking in the rooms all around us and a dog was barking all night the first night. The heat/ac wall unit kept reverting back to AC by itself and I woke up freezing multiple times. Floor was chewed up at the entrence to the room and the sink pipes and refrigerator were covered in rust. The bed was super uncomfortable and they gave us 3 thin pillows. My neck and back are still recovering from it. I also requested a double and wound up with a king bed for me and my teenage son. If he winds up going to school there I need to find something better. Horrible first impression of North Carolina.

Absolutely disgusting. Bugs in the light in the ceiling, horrible smell that smelled like mold/mustyness, the bed felt like cardboard that you sank into, the mirror was sideways, the bathtub stained, and there was hair on the bed sheets. And they declined a refund when we checked out 30 minutes later for our two day stay. We will never book again. Also, don’t book through hotels.com because they will only go to the hotel asking for permission to refund which will be denied.

The staff is always kind and helpful. The location is a little loud and can get rowdy on the weekends as can any vacation area. The rooms are clean and well stocked with essentials. Location is close to food and shopping, and easy to get to.

Totally meh

When I arrived, there was nobody at the front desk. It took quite a while to check in, and I had to do it through a tiny little window. When I was leaving, there was again nobody at the front desk and nobody answered the bell. I was unable to get a cup of coffee. This will never be my first choice of a place to stay.

I arrived after the 3:00 check in and was told the room was not ready. I left to go eat and came back and it was not ready until after 4. Upon check-in, there were 2 domestic violence complaints and 2 sheriff cars that were there on that call. Kind of unsettling in my opinion.

Good stay but beware of the noise

The room was very clean. Bed was extremely hard as were the pillows, so not restful for me personally. Unfortunately there were a lot of loud people on my end of the motel. Music, drinking, smoking and shouting. Glad I was on the third floor so I was a bit separated from it all. The trash, beer bottles and cigarette butts everywhere is not a good look for a place that could actually be really nice.

This particular Red Roof Inn has previously had a sordid problematic reputation and now after staying there myself I can clearly see why. My check-in timeframe was in excess of 10-12-minutes despite having made a prior online reservation, which was ridiculously excessive. There was only 3 bed pillows for a king sized bed, minimal number of clean towels for showering and the TV came with a remote and no instructions on how to use it or pull up a local guide for TV channel scrolling. Overall, I don’t think the room rate of $89 plus taxes was worth the cost, but in my case? You live and learn.

This hotel was terrible!! The room was not ready and the room they gave me was disgusting, dirty. It had a terriable smell. The front desk call me Saturday afternoon and asked me if i wanted another room but it will be ready at night. I told them no because I was already at my daughter graduation plus there was no point because I was checking out the next morning.

I had to pay $250 a night for this hotel due to a nearby college graduation. It was ridiculous. When we checked in, we were given a key to a room that had not been cleaned. The front desk was accommodating and gave us a new room. However, it was not clean and it smelled. There was hair in the bathtub, toothpaste in the sink, and black flecks of something on the bathroom door. I understand that the facilities may be managed by a corporate office, but a clean room is within the control of the people who run this hotel. I would not recommend staying here.

My handicapped room was malodorous and sticky. The sink light did not work. The fan in the bathroom was incredibly noisy as was the AC. The towels and soap were like prisoner supplies. The baseboards and floor were all bashed up. The room has not had new carpet or paint it appears for years. It had a very high ICK factor. They made you sign some no smoking agreement you needed a microscope to read.

An adequate back up plan when Chapel Hill hotels are mostly sold out but this hotel is very basic and dated with some minor maintenance issues. Coffee is available in the mornings in the lobby but it tends to run out and not be refilled. There is no hair dryer in the room but one can be borrowed at the desk if available. It is just off the highway so there is road noise. No elevator but it’s not very tall. Well-insulated windows do a good job even when ice crystals form on them outside. It has a picnic table in a stand of trees but I didn’t feel comfortable sitting outside there. People were loitering outside the time I considered it, and the road noise keeps that from seeming peaceful.

Disgusting room, bed bug infestation.

No staff on site, had to wait to check in. Staff was gone again shortly after i checked in. Toom was disgusting, looked like it hadn't been swept/vacuumed in ages. Appeared to be blood on the floor by the front door. Hair and dirt on the shower walls. Blankets and sheets were dirty. Saving the best for last, the room had what i see as a pretty serious bedbug infestation.

Safe but not clean

Not very clean. The first room we got smelled terribly of smoke. They kindly gave us another room, that was an upgrade to a larger suite. The bathtub was not very clean and had debris in it. If you are okay with a cheap option with the bare minimum, this would be okay. It did feel like a safe area and was much cheaper than the options downtown.

Horrible management

Booked due to a medical appointment. The day before the appointment my dr. had to cancel. I requested a refund/cancellation immediately. Was told to \"submit an email\" as the manager on site didn't have the \"authority\". My dr. even said they would call them to explain this was no fault of my own. 2 day later got an email back saying \"no\" because I was (a few hours) out of the cancelation window.
