I recently stayed at this Red Roof location in DC and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. The room was not very clean, with noticeable odors and an overall lack of freshness. Noise was an issue throughout the night, making it hard to rest. I also felt a bit uneasy, as some of the other guests hanging around the property seemed shady, which gave the place an unsafe vibe. 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.

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.

Stayed here for three nights and was pretty disappointed with the experience. Upon check-in, the interaction was extremely awkward—the employee just stared at me through the window after I said hello, without saying a single word. I ended up handing over my license assuming that’s what was needed. He scanned it, passed me a paper and pen to sign, returned my ID, and that was it. Not a single word was exchanged, which left a really strange first impression. 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.

It was a nice easy stay. The front desk lady was very nice. Nothing fancy, but if you need a quick stay somewhere, this is a decent choice! 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!

Soft comfy beds. 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.

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.
