I arrived at 12:15 am to check in. No one was there!!!! I called the telephone # 5 times and no one answered!!! I had already paid for the room on line so I asked a lady where the desk clerk was. She said she may be in the restroom. I continued to wait and 30 minutes passed no desk clerk.
The manager of the Red Roof told another employee to check me in after 45 minutes had passed. People about 20-30 years old were hanging outside and in lobby. They were respectful but there was an Oder of marijuana. Never go to this Red Roof.. I was so disappointed in this place since I have stayed at Red Roof all over the US.

This is the worst hotel stay in my life.
The night auditor didn’t know what she was doing at check in. She double charged me. At check in and during her audit charged me again. My family and I was there to visit the Ark Encounter. So I had four rooms. If you are reading this. Don’t stay at the Red Roof Inn in dry Ridge,Ky. The photos are not up to date on the website. It’s a hell hole. This place needs to be shut down. The ownership should be ashamed of themselves putting a product out like this. P.s you get what you pay for there.

The place smelled like cat urine, the upholstery was peeling off the chair, and the clerk was about as unprofessionally dressed as possible: pajama pants and an old t-shirt. She was actually out buying snacks and cigarettes at the convenience store when we were trying to check in, so we had to wait for her to come back. We went elsewhere and will never go to a Red Roof Inn again.

First of all the Red Roof Inn does not have a red roof.
The hallway leading to our room was smelly and the carpet needs cleaning or
replacing.
The bed was comfortable but the bathroom door is in desperate need of a paint job.
There was no hot water in our room.
The pillows need to be replaced.
The whole place is in much need of an upgrade.

Do not, I repeat Do not stay here. The hotel is run down and there were lots of people hanging around inside and outside the hotel. There were big dogs who were whining and barking right across from us. Kids running and screaming right outside our door. Our door was not very sturdy, you could see light at the sides and the top after we closed and locked the door. I went out several times to see what was going on but everyone denied it was them. We think the family living there was the worker’s family, the girl kept calling him my dad. The kids and people with the dogs went in and out the door to the outside all night. We finally tried to call the front desk but the phone wasn’t even connected and the tv didn’t work. The man up front came down to our room and said he was there all day and hadn’t heard any kids screaming then there they were, at that second, screaming and he didn’t know what to say. He smelled of marijuana very strongly. The hotel smelled of cigarette smoke and marijuana, the whole area made us very uncomfortable. We will never stay at a Red Roof Inn again. I am a retired teacher and my friend runs a daycare so we love kids and animals, but this was ridiculous. Someone higher up needs to take a look at this hotel.

Very disappointing experience. As soon as we entered the room, we noticed the inside door paint was peeling off, the carpet was dirty, and the room smelled strongly of chlorine mixed with marijuana.

The cleanliness was unacceptable. There was hair on the pillows and bed, a urine stain on the mattress, and the TV remote was dirty, sticky, and also covered with hair. We even found a couple of bugs in the shower.

We did not feel comfortable staying there and ended up leaving the hotel and finding another place last minute. Definitely would not recommend.

The Inn is indeed of complete remodeling. Only thing updated was the flooring. Whatever the motel uses for deoderizing is horrible! My eyes burned, had to open the window and turn on fan to rid the odor ( took a couple hours). If someone has severe allergies to perfumes, etc
they would have had need of an epi pen. Holes noted in walls, toilet paper holder had been broken, leaving a hole in wall, the exhaust fan was displaced and a small spider was living at the top of it. Noted a dead cockroach between bed and nightstand. The window sill was filled with dirt, patch work paint job on walls. The door was in horrible shape, the wall mounted door stopper was on the floor, hole in the wall. The hallway, every door needed replacement, the stairwell was also in need of work to replace the the wood under carpet.

Nothing about this stay met even basic expectations. The room did not have a microwave, and when I went downstairs to use the shared one, there were multiple ants crawling on and around it—completely unsanitary.

The air conditioning in the room barely worked, making it uncomfortable. The overall cleanliness was poor: the floors were not properly swept, the hallway and stairs had not been vacuumed, and there was a noticeable unpleasant smell throughout the property. The doors also appeared poorly maintained and unprofessionally painted.

Customer service was equally disappointing. When I called to ask about checking in slightly earlier, the staff hung up on me. I had to call back multiple times before finally getting through.

Based on the condition of the room, lack of cleanliness, and unprofessional service, I would rate this hotel an F.

This hotel was probably the worst I have ever been to. The online info and pictures do not depict the actual hotel. We got our rooms. Check in was good and clerk was really nice. We walked upstairs (no elevator) opened our rooms and the 2 he gave us had not been swept and there was still several toothpaste drops on the mirrors. The light from the window was shining on the headboard...hand prints everywhere on it. Our thoughts.. if they didnt clean the things that could be seen what has not been cleaned that you couldn't see? He offered for us to look at other rooms or have the cleaners come up and reclean. They did not do a good job the 1st time so lets see more rooms. They were exactly the same! We were not letting our grandkids stay in those rooms. We asked for our money back and he said he could do that. I checked the day after and it was credited. From the conversations with 2 guests in the lobby we got the sense they were actually living there full time. I know the price sounds real good but this place needs alot of cleaning and upkeep. Shame on them for not taking care of such a good opportunity to have a great place of business.

Take this motel out of your lineup!

This hotel needs to be condemned by the Health Department. There were only 2 items that would pass inspection: a hair dryer that actually worked, and a 24-26\" TV that worked but there was no printed program to tell you what channel to search for. The floor was nasty - had not been vacuumed or mopped for who knows how long. The bed sheets were old, stained, and so thin you could see thru them. It took an act of congress to get clean towels the they didn't know what a washcloth was! There was no clock in the room so you had to get up, turn on a light and find your phone or watch to tell the time. There was an ironing board but NO iron. Duh! The final straw was when a cockroach was crawling up the bathroom door facing. The stairwell smelled like a dog kennel and hadn't been vacuumed in months maybe years. The picture to the left of this post is misleading. The shrubbery on the front was practically dead and there was no mulch - just a little dirt that looked like dogs had made beds in it for who knows how long.

This hotel is HORRIBLE. I wish I had taken pictures. The floor was sunken in. There were gaps between the walls and the floor. It literally looked like they didn't even try to finish painting or anything. The beds looked like someone slept in them and just made the bed themselves, checked out, and nobody touched them after that. I don't even want to get started on the bathroom. It smelled awful. I know it's cheaper, but DON'T DO IT. Spend the money! My child and I took our behinds to the Hilton up the road. Ain't no way this place is still open and about to operate as a hotel. It felt like I walked out with something I didn't walk in with. I was itching and I didn't even touch anything. I walked in, looked around, and walked right out and checked out!
