Grimey, dank place (July). Towels with weird stains and hair, slick oily floors. You get what you pay for. but I needed a cheap spot in town for the 4th of July and this spot did the trick. Wouldn't cut it if I wasn't solo traveling. Staff was helpful though. But do yourself a favor and book a room at the Days Inn up the road. Night and day.

Our room was never fully cleaned by housekeeping, the bed was made and towels were changed only after you requested housekeeping. There was trash under the dresser, the rugs and floor would make the bottoms of our feet black after taking a shower. I will never stay at this Red Roof Inn or any other one again.

Room smelled like mold and had stains on comforter and cover. When I asked for a new comforter, I was given a mattress pad. Bathroom was really small and sink was cracked all over and not cleaned behind. Vending on top floor was advertised, but not open. Vending on bottom floor was severely overpriced. No amenities. The air-conditioning struggled to work in a heat wave. I had requested a specific room ahead of time and they were not able to accommodate. Very difficult to get around.

For the price it was a good choice. Room and king bed were good. TV had Netflix which worked. AC was comfortable. Little refrig and microwave were very handy. Dog friendly was very much needed and appreciated. Complementary Parking out front was very convenient and felt safe. Complementary Coffee in am was handy. Snack area was only thing that disappointed. The soda machine worked but snack machine did not. Credit/debit worked on drinks but even though accepted on snacks, would not release the purchased food. 3 tries with 2 diff cards. Will find out when my statement arrives if I was cheated out of money or not. Hopefully that can be remedied.
Overall, I was pleased with Red Roof Plus since I was looking to save $ on a reasonable priced and clean, pet friendly stay with nearby walkable transit available to DC. Thanks

My past experiences staying at the Red Roof Inn are usually positive but this time not so much. The room I was in had a clogged toilet. When I went to the front desk the person tried to be helpful and told me the maintenance person would fix it and in the meantime she gave me a plunger to help. When I returned to my room later in the afternoon nothing had been done so I reported to the front desk and the \"new\" front desk person basically said not her problem. No effort was made to fix the situation. I've been staying at the Red Roof Inn for years and this is the first time I've experienced such a lack of customer service. Not sure I'll stay there in the future.

I'd stayed at this Red Roof several years ago, and it has clearly since declined significantly—possibly a long-term vestige of COVID—while the structure and set-up are basically the same, the place hasn't really been kept up. The elevators smelled of mold, the walls are not at all sound-proof, and a couple of the towels had clear stain marks (albeit small). Yes, this was the most economical of the area hotels, but it was as basic as it gets for the price, and paying a few extra bucks for a more comfortable experience may be worth it.

However, the front desk attendants were lovely and courteous both at check-in and -out!

Not the best Red Roof Plus to stay at.

1. You HAVE TO REQUEST your room to be cleaned. It's not automatic. Not a big deal but they don't tell you this when you check in.
2. When I approached my room, there was eaten chicken and bones outside my door.
3. The bathtub is missing lining.
4. The bathroom lights flicker and after asking them to be replaced, they were not.
5. The room smelled like animal...or something weird.

This is a 1-2 star motel and I should have expected as much. But needs a little TLC to be worth the price.

Initially, when searching for a place to stay, for my MGM Casino experience, the website pictures were nothing like the room that I received. Upon arrival, the room smelled closed in, a little muggy and musky. After keeping the door open for a few, it became a bit better and was doable. While there, I noticed how rundown, cracked up the walls were, with taped doors. There was a non-clean, moldy cooling unit, in need of deep cleaning and renovations. The worst part of my stay were the roaches that were crawling around in the area where I ate, that I ended up killing, which made my stay really creepy, being on the lookout for these critters. It was not comfortable at that point and I couldn’t wait until I discharged. Never again at the red roof in Plus or whatever it’s called.

They had the grassy area in the back dedicated for them too, but there was no poop bags provided. No big deal, we had our own. Parking was easy and there was more than enough. Location was top since it was close to good restos, store, and the metro. Even a Planet Fitness nearby. Overall, it was solid for the price. Also, shoutout to the staff.

The staff were incredibly kind, personable, and helpful—the only reason I didn’t immediately request a full refund given the hotel’s condition. The elevator smelled strongly of urine and had sticky spots, and cigarette butts littered the floors. The room was extremely dirty: every layer of bedding, including the mattress, had stains, rips, and tears. I checked for bed bugs due to the condition and, while I didn’t find live ones, there appeared to be remnants from past issues. I found food wrappers and a corn kernel in the bed frame, filthy floors, and thick dust on curtain rods and wall décor, indicating a lack of regular cleaning. Doors had old stains, the shower curtain had visible mold (including fuzzy growth), and the microwave was disgusting. Trash from a prior guest remained, and the towels were unusable due to stains resembling blood and earwax. I also found a carpet beetle shell in a drawer.
Housekeeping was requested, but while bedding was replaced, many issues remained, including the debris and stains. I also found new items in the room, suggesting someone entered while I was out, which was alarming. I became ill with food poisoning and had to extend my stay; the front desk staff were kind and accommodating. Overall, the hotel is uninhabitable for the price. Front desk staff were excellent, but management clearly neglects cleanliness, maintenance, and health standards.
