What guests think

At Red Roof Inn Reading, travellers describe a budget stay with friendly front-desk moments and occasionally renovated, spacious rooms, but frequent complaints center on loud late-night noise from the attached nightclub, mixed cleanliness, and maintenance problems.

Some guests like the convenient location and value, and several praise the on-site bar/restaurant for food and atmosphere. Recurring issues include strong smoke or odors in halls and rooms, broken doors or locks, parking strain on club nights, and inconsistent Wi‑Fi or TV. Expect a low-cost, lively environment that can be noisy and hit-or-miss.

Facilities

On-site bar/restaurant and nightclub draw crowds and play loud music until late. The pool is closed, guest laundry is available, and some exterior doors/locks and parking access work inconsistently, especially on busy club nights.

Interesting configuration. Legends Bar/Restaurant was attached but inaccessible from inside the facility, so you had to go outside and walk around to it. As I was checking in, I asked the receptionist where the laundry facility was, and without asking, he put me in a room very close to it for my convenience. The rooms have an interesting configuration in that they have an interior and an exterior door. The interior door went to the hallway that led to the laundry and to reception while the exterior door led directly to the parking lot. That made loading/unloading super easy.

It is connected to a night club (which isn't a huge concern, but it was not stated online before I got my room). The door was broken, and it took multiple tries to get into my room. The area is very rough and I did not feel safe. At around 3 a.m., a man was screaming into his phone and acting very violent. This went on for an hour.

I like staying at this hotel but it’s really noisy on weekends because of the nightclub. You can’t leave the property with your vehicle because you will lose your parking due to all the vehicles for the nightclub. My room was ok and the staff were great, especially the manager who checked me in.

Get a room away from the bar that's attached or you will hear thumping base all night long. Room was very nice and clean. The entire place was non smoking but reeked of weed everywhere.

From the exterior it looks like a motel. The interior of the building is clean and better than one would expect from the outside. We did notice that building side doors did not seal well, so security could be improved. Overall, it’s a good value stay.

Very clean and nice large rooms at very low price. I was shocked at how much I paid a night compared to always staying at motel 6 due to my dogs . Red Roof is much cleaner, rooms are enormous compared to motel 6 . It was quiet and I felt very safe . I will continue booking when needed with them over ones I have been staying at when traveling for over the last 29 years. Thank you RedRoof for wonderful experience I had! I will for now on use you as my preferred choice when traveling!

The room was the farthest from clean- cobwebs in corners with piles of dirt. The carpet had a spark piece of metal that stabbed my foot. Music blaring half the night . Dogs barking . Constant doors slamming. The experience was really the worst. My two young daughters were begging to go home it was so chaotic!! No one could possibly sleep here!

Location was convenient. Thisplace was filthy. I dont think I saw a single maid in the 24 hours I was there. Floors need scrubbed. Whole place needs a renovation. Was hoing to go to the lounge to get a drink but yhere was a $10 cover. Useless for someone staying in hotel. Music thumped all night and I stayed on opposite side of building. Entry doors fo not lock. Broken. I was a solo man. I would not bring my wife or family here.

It was okay... we just needed a place to stay for the night we weren't looking for much but the toilet was leaking, the chain lock on the door was broken, the walls were thin could hear everything from the hallway & the curtains didn't completely block out light. Also, it's next to a club/restaurant just fyi. It was overall okay for us

Check-in: Long wait to be attended at. Manager was chastising an employee over a mistake. Had to request a room change due to dirty linen. Housekeeping was noisy and unprofessional. There’s a nightclub attached to the motel. The patrons were noisy and it was hard to stay asleep.

We were told we can request a “late stay” and checkout at 2pm instead of 12pm, got the confirmation from corporate booking AND the young kid in the front, only to have someone banging on our door at 12 for us to leave! I specifically stated, “we were granted a late stay and should be on my profile.” They come back and say it is not on your profile so if you’re not out by 1230 we are calling the cops! Huh!? My family is in this room WTH do you need to call the cops for as if we’re in here doing something wrong and/or just blatantly refusing to leave!??? I kid ya not, a cop car was literally outside by the time we had to now RUSH AND LEAVE by 1230! NEVER AGAIN!!! And just something additionally to add on before this situation ever happened, the place had a terrible scent of smell the whole time, even in the rooms the same smell carried over! Do better! Get some customer service skills and realize if you would just talk to people, you would maybe know what type of situation they’re in and why we even requested a “late checkout” to begin with. Either way, 1st and LAST TIME my family and I will be here 💯

The lady at the front desk when we got there was amazing, but that was the only positive thing about our stay. There is a night club connected to the hotel that is open until 2am and has music blasting until they close. Then people are yelling in the parking lot- drunk! The AC didn’t work, we did not sleep between the music and sweating all night. We then go to breakfast to come back to our room cleaned by house keeping an hour before checkout.

However the staff in the morning was very pleasant and she made up for the night shift’s attitude her name was Kimberly I think she should train the night shift on being courteous and respectful to customers..

No issues at all with the room. The issue was at check in. While not the employees’ fault, check in took forever (30-40 minutes) due to computer issues. Their system wasn’t working properly and they couldn’t successfully process the security deposit and were waiting for tech support which was going to take 2 hours. To his credit, they eventually just gave us our room key and said they would deal with it later, but after a long day, 40 minutes from the time we walked in to the time we were given our key was very frustrating.

Neighborhood seemed seedy, outside of hotel was poor, with dumped mattresses in the back of the lot. Had to wait for staff on check-in and check-out. Staff friendly. Room was fine, very clean and well kept. Fair enough for a budget motel, would consider again. Chose due to closeness to ballpark.

Pros - Nice place to stay the night. Most importantly, clean. There was a club downstairs that I would’ve checked out if I didn’t have kids with me. Cons - Check in strictly adhered to at 3pm. Restaurant doesn’t open until 4:30pm. We arrived at 2pm, so we had to leave & come back when our room was ready.

The fact that Legends Restaurant and Bar are on the property was great. Their food and atmosphere were fantastic. As for the "breakfast" supplied by the motel? That was pitiful. I walked in at 8:30 in the morning, and there was nothing. Next morning, I went in earlier, and there was one package of blueberry muffins left? Why bother at all?
