Were going to see Anna Maria Island which is 30 minutes from the hotel. We just want somewhere to sleep and bath for a night. First time to check in Red Roof inn, so far all ok. Parking and pool is just in front of our door. Waffle house, gasoline station and oyster bar restaurant is next door. Clean room and water is hot. So all good

Sheets were dirty. People were arguing at midnight, woke my entire family up. System was down when we arrived so we had to wait an extra hour to check in. The person checking in was slow to check in and the line was really long. Lobby was closed because environment was unsafe , so we checked in from window. Bathrooms were clean!

It was cute, but dirty. I had to use the phone to get the wi-fi password and I had to wash it before I could touch it. There were visible fingerprints on it. The bathroom was dirty, but the toilet and shower were fine. The beds were awesome and the place was very quiet although you're near the interstate and another highway. The website says 2 cats max, first one free, $15/night for 2nd but there was a sign on the counter that said 1 pet. Which is it? 2 pets with first one free, or just one pet period? Red Roof needs to fix this problem because I came with 2 cats and didn't want to ask about the policy, although I screenshot it, because I didn't have anywhere else to go. I hate feeling like I'm breaking the rules, especially when it's the venue's fault.

The Best Red Roof I have ever stayed at.I cam down to see My Brother in the hospital due to a stroke..He passed the day before I had to leave. So I had to stay longer...Knowing it was the weekend and they were close to being sold-out. They made sure I had a room! The Friendliest Staff I have ever encountered at a Hotel!!! I Highly recommend if you are in the area and need a place to stay.

Because they were short staffed, there was no breakfast, lobby was closed at 11am, no computer access, and lobby bathrooms closed. Staff was friendly. Two restaurants in short walking distance were nice and received discounts from the Inn for both. Wheelchair accessible bathroom with roll in shower met our needs adequately, but the floor was quite slippery when wet.

Arrived about 2 hours early and found the hotel closed with a sign 'NO EARLY CHECK-IN - NO EXCEPTIONS'. Having driven 18 hours from Pittsburgh, this is not a good first impression. Hotel itself is fine - but Hotels are supposed to be like Casinos - they never close. Manager proceeded to point to the website saying check-in was at 3, completely ignoring the fact every hotel has this on their site, but will work with you if you arrive early. Just an incredibly frustrating and unecessary experience.

Overpriced. Room prices in this area are high, but you do not get what you pay for here. Our room did not even have a hairdryer. Rooms have portable dehumidifiers and in-wall AC. Both are loud. If your room is on the road side of the motel, they at least drown out some of the street noise. Noise also included a semi truck whose motor ran all night. Lobby was closed when we checked in at 3 p.m. You check in through a window. Safety warning signs on the room door do not engender a feeling of security. We had a middle-of-the-night flood in our room caused by other guests. At least management responded quickly and appropriately.

Had booked a room in advance with a queen size bed. When arriving in the lobby the wait was long and service was slow. Additionally, next to the seemingly moody employee behind the counter, a child was sitting with a loud iPad on a chair. When finally receiving my key I went to the room only to find it with an extreme smell of marijuana. Since I’m not a smoker, this was a deal breaker to me so I went back to the lobby. Unfortunately, there was no rooms left with queen beds and the list of excuses to why the room smelled so bad was very long. For way too long I had to almost argue with the employee why I did not want to stay in the room and she needed to give me a new set of keys. After about 20 minutes of push back I got new keys and a new room with two double beds but no smell. It was unnecessarily waste of our time and the push back was unacceptable. I will not book here again.
