The place is laid back. The rooms are clean. The staff is impeccable. There are a few amenities missing, is... Coffee maker, in room. No laundry room, one working ice machine, no ice bucket in room. Sheets on bed and what seems to be a comforter is like parachute material. It\'s turning cold outside and bedding not soft or warm for winter months. The office has coffee every morning and cream and sugar might be a little cold tho, just depends. And like just about every hotel, stingy as hell with the towels, and toilet paper is millionaire paper so soft and cushiony I couldn\'t fit it between my cheeks to wipe, and you better not flush more than two sheets at time or backup is imminent.For the price, compared to surrounding places. Good deal. And the view from the bench in the parking lot overlooking valley below is Amazing. At sunset it\'s Amazing. And in the morning the back of the place is enchanting , it\'s nothing but a steep quarry rock wall littered with shrubbery and a few trees. But, the birds singing and the fresh air early is calming . Lying in bed I hear what I used to call aggravating squaking of sparrows and starlings. Cheep cheep. Disturbing my slumber, or my narrow minded dreams. Now, my guardian angel wakes me with Songs of Hope. Pleasant Travels People. Me and Mama kicking it across Cleveland and it\'s burbs we long to be UN-HOMELESS.To wash up on a permanant landing place and grow with our children\'s creative,bright,open view of others, in "Your Normal World"

Well. It could definitely use an upgrade and maybe more staff. The front desk attendant was on the phone whilst checking us in. So no words spoken. Just finger points and nods. Place looks like a dump. Ice machine is destroyed. Trash all over. Doors don’t fully lock. And it smells bad. $200 for a crappy nights sleep. Not worth it

This property was absolutely the worst property i have ever visited. The room was filthy with a footprint on the wall, mold all over the bathroom, the cove base was coming off the wall, and the airconditioner was so dirty we couldnt read the on/off or temp. The room smelled horrendous, like mold. Never again. No stars was not an option or that would ha e been my answer.

The room we were given 102 was dusty the rug had not been vaccumed, the curtain rod was broken and i had to wedge it into a little space to keep them closed for privacy, the refrigerator/freezer had a chunk of in it not letting the door close, when i asked for an ice bucket i was given 1 that smelled of chemicals, like it was just cleaned, we ended up using a plastic grocery bag to get ice from the ice machines and fill the sink in order to keep our beverages cold.The bathtub had black mold at the base of trim and the shower curtain was brown and dirty. I had asked for another room but the hotel was completely booked. We were there for a concert and was unable to book anywhere else. I took pictures but cannot add them to this.

Room was not cleaned before our arrival.

We avoided the room at all costs on our trip and it made for a very unpleasant stay, unfortunately.

Dirtiest hotel room I've ever stayed in. The bottoms of my feet were filthy from walking around in there. There was dried pee on the toilet seat and random sunflower seed shells and whatnot on the floor. I'm not sure if they cleaned the room at all before I got there, other than making the bed. I'll never stay at a Red Roof Inn again.

Totaly inconsiderate. The room door axtra security lock was broke and first hole in the wall. Cheap , buy next time I'll pay more for lodging so I'm safer.

Later that night i froze my ass off because despite being set at 80 the thermostat kept pumping out cold air and there was no comforter on the bed just a sheet. If i was staying more than 1 night i would of gotten a refund and went across the road to LaQuinta

The first room (king) that I reserved was horrible. The ac didn’t work, curtains were torn and it wasn’t clean. We switched to a 2nd room that had double beds. It had a very strong cleaning agent smell. We opened the door to get it out. The ac was on its last legs, the room floor was dirty and sticky, the phone was there but no plug for it, the alarm clock didn’t work. I took it to the office where the guy at the office said he would get us on since I needed it to get me up for an appointment at the Cleveland Clinic. I never heard a word from him. I had to get my brother to call me. I will never stay there again nor recommend it to anyone !!!!!!’

I was awaken shortly after 11 pm with the desk person saying they had no reservation from hotels.com and they wanted my credit card. I again advised them that I already paid and would not pay twice. The next morning on checking out, they still wanted paid I advised them to contact hotel.com they had my confirmation information

First off the receptionist was very nice about the situation. I was not very happy or pleased. I had a room paid for through expedia. It said check in time was anytime. I got there around 1 am. They said they were sold out and overbooked. She pulled up my information. I said I paid for a room. She said you paid expedia's account and they will reimburse you because it wasn't actually charged to expedia's account to the hotel. So it was late at night and I was out a room to stay. If they were overbooked aheads up would be nice so I could find another hotel instead of showing up to one I paid for and not have a room for the night. I never had an issue with expedia before until last night (August 3).

We got there to spend one night around 5pm. Reception was locked and the receptionist had to come open the door. After check in: The bedroom door was slightly opened when we got there. Bedroom was clean Bathroom was “clean”, bathtub is old and all stained with browish color Place does not look like a family establishment. Over night we heard people screaming outside in front of our door, people fighting, threatening to kill each other. Cops showed up. Next day, cops were there again. We just did our check out and left. We picked this place bc it was pet friendly and between the prices of low $64 to high $200 per night in the area. I would not recommend or stay at this place ever again! It was scary and unsafe for my family and it costed over $100!
