Staff all very helpful and friendly.
Shower in ADA room had plenty of hot water and was very accessible. Only problem with it is that the showerhead for the able bodied person is quite low, so it was about chin high thus hard to wash my hair.
Bed was very hard. We had to put pillows under our bodies to sleep.

I had to leave GenCon early because the musty cat pee smelling first floor room made my sick. The first room we were booked into my wife got locked in the bathroom for 45 minutes until staff could get her out, the room we were moved to was then so musty and damp that it made me sick and we had to go home 2 days early.

The room was wet. Like a sheen of water the entire time. All the bedding was damp too. There was a hole in the bottom of the door and bugs came in. There was also a bandaid wedged in between the soap dispensers. I also asked for another towel in the morning and was told no.

It was not a good hotel. It looked as if it was a drop-in shelter. People were blocking the walking path to the office constantly and smoking stinking cigarettes. The facility is very outdated. The mattress was like sleeping on springs. It was the worse hotel I’ve ever been in in my entire life. The lady at the counter was very nice though

We were in town for my daughter’s volleyball tournament. The major issue my daughter and I had was the drug activity taking place at all hours of the day, but especially at night…right outside our room (212). Men hanging around outside our room engaging in illegal drug activity, playing loud music, barely dressed women walking around the parking lots and hotel walkways at all hours being vulgar and loud. The long term residents of this Red Roof made this place feel unsafe. When I called the office to ask for assistance on multiple occasions, no one answered. The sheets were actually very clean and smelled clean. The housekeeping staff was so nice. The bed had no cushion and you could feel the springs. Front desk said they did not have any other rooms when I went in person to ask. We got approached by a man in the parking lot as we were unloading our car one evening and he asked if he could help us in a very aggressive matter. Left 1 night earlier than I had reserved for because of men passing by our door and knocking then walking off at 3am, then coming back to hang around outside the room. We could not wait to leave. Will never stay here again and I didn’t even ask for a refund of my last unused night. The lady who checked me in when we arrived was kind and professional. The guy who checked me out when I left apologized for my experience but could not help me get in contact with a manager. Just told me to call another day.
Would never stay here again.

***BED BUGS*** The hotel room was ok, could tell it was very used, it smelled fine and looked good in the dark. With the lights on one could see the wear and tear of the place the pleather chair was torn up and the computer chair was disgusting, it had stains and was ripping. The walls for the most part were okay but crackling and stained, the bathroom was clean enough but not ideal, the bed seemed fine but left me questioning if the rooms were actually being cleaned to standard, the sink was ok, the mini fridge worked. My first two nights were ok, it was good enough for sleeping in though I kept all my clothes in the luggage and the luggage off the floor and bed. Cause I didn't trust the maids (which I never saw). I never saw anyone cleaning anything the whole time I was there

On my third night after showering I laid down to relax and as I was laying down a bed bug crawled up from under the head board. Where there is 1 there's probably a hundred. I trapped it in a water bottle and brought it to the front desk, who could've cared less. I was refused a refund for the night, the manager didn't care which is obvious by how nasty the hotel is. I ended up leaving and having to spend the night doing laundry and checking my things for bed bugs. Over 0/5, would not recommend this hotel and is over priced for a place where your liable to leave with hitchhikers.

I was a bit sceptical on booking the Red Roof during the week of the Indy 500. As a matter of fact... It was fantastic!!!

Despite the travelling you may be doing whether by bus, rideshare or your own vehicle. This is a very quiet but very safe location. Especially if you're wanting to attend the greatest spectacle in racing! (Do be aware you'll need $100 for a security deposit)

The whole staff are doing a wonderful job knowing what to improve upon or keeping their guests safe.

The room was smoky as though 20 people had been smoking in the room right before we arrived. There was dried mud on the floor. That's what we figured the crumbles were. It was a rainy night. No way we could stay in the room. I asked for a different room. The clerk said there was no other room. I explained we could not stay in the room. My neice who was with me has asthma. Smoke is a trigger. We and our clothing would have stunk of smoke had we stayed there. I told the clerk we were leaving and I didn't expect to pay. We left with no where to go. No hotel rooms at any of the 10 or so hotels we called were available.It was late night pouring down rain. We drove on to our final destination an hour away. Called family and bunked with them. It felt like a nightmare. The hotel charged me anyway. I'm fighting that. The room was for 2 days at close to $200 pr night. Not to mention the Clerk expressed no concern for our situation. Don't stay at this Bates motel.

Do not stay here.

We booked a room for the Morgan Wallen concert, and the hotel was completely unprepared for the volume of guests. When we tried to check in 45 minutes early, a very rude front desk clerk abruptly turned us away. We returned at 3:45 PM—well past the official 3:00 PM check-in time—and our room still wasn't ready. We finally got into a room around 4:00 PM.

While waiting in the lobby, we witnessed a highly disorganized and concerning situation. The hotel was overbooked, and other guests were actively complaining about bed bugs in their rooms. When those guests asked for refunds, they were told the front desk couldn't process them and that they had to email the owner, who apparently refuses to take phone calls.

As for our room, we thankfully didn't spot any bed bugs, but it wasn't very clean. The bed was easily one of the worst I've ever slept in. The only bright spot of the entire stay was the shower, which had great water pressure and drained well.

Overall, it was a terrible experience. While the second front desk clerk we dealt with was incredibly nice and did everything she could to help, the first clerk we encountered was highly unprofessional. It’s overwhelmingly clear that the absentee owner does not care about the property, the customers, or supporting their staff.

Avoid this place.

The room had a horrible odor of musty old smoke. Putting the a/c on helped a little. . The bedspread and comforter underneath had stains on them. The sheets appeared clean so we left all our clothes on and slept on top of them (after pulling all the blankets off.) There was carpet near the bed that looked so dirty it looked like an outdoor mat. The vinyl floor did not look clean and was sticky in some areas. The stem to shower head appeared to have been taped and because of water pressure when turned on sprayed all over the whole bathroom. This was final four weekend and we got in after midnight so couldn’t find anything available till morning which thank goodness we did!

This hotel seems like a homeless shelter housing individuals for months at a time. People smoking marijuana sitting in chairs outside room with five or six people and loud radio. Dogs come bounding out of room growling and almost attacked me. I had to run to my room to get away. Room smelled of smoke and unclean people. They give you two small flimsy towels for your entire stay. I've stayed at Red Roofs before and this was by far the worst experience. The location was close to many stores and food.
