What guests think

Reviews of Red Roof Inn Cincinnati - Sharonville report a budget stay with frequent complaints about dirty rooms, strong odors, pests, and heavy wear, alongside safety concerns, while several guests praise friendly front-desk staff and the pet-friendly policy.

Many mention broken or missing in-room appliances, loud or faulty AC, plumbing problems, and a required $50 deposit. A few found the location convenient, but numerous reviews felt uncomfortable with the overall environment and check-in through security glass. Expect a no-frills, low-cost stop with significant trade-offs in cleanliness, upkeep, and atmosphere.

It is just a place reasonable price to stop and sleep. Not a place to want to stay for any length of time. They have nothing to offer.the lobby is locked and you have to talk to them through a window. They take no pride in their building or business.

Not the best place to stay but we travel with our dog so we need a place that is pet friendly. They do charge $50 refundable deposit. Not sure why. We paid in advance. Not very clean room. The fridge was old but it worked.

The first room they put us in was dirty, smelled of cat urine, the bed looked as if someone had just gotten out of it. The second room was much better. If not for the second room I would rate this place one star. We didn't feel safe either, you could not go into the lobby to check in or even talk to them during the day. It was all done behind a very thick bullet proof glass and you could not understand much of what was being said. It took several times of speaking as loud as possible for them to hear me and me to understand them. Would not recommend. Even witn all the trouble the staff seemed willing to work with me on a room and talk to me. Given they were behind a think bullet proof glass. We were booked for 4 nights but only stayed one, costing us some money due to the no refund but at least I am able to write a review. Not safe at all!!!!

Sheets were filthy and covered in cigarettes burns. There are softer beds in prison. Tub and shower sprayed out brown dirty water and tv screen had been smashed. I requested another room and it was only moderately better. Working tv. Shower ane water were fairly clean but bed sheets were still a mess and beds were even harder Dont stay here. Based on the other clientele people just come here to pick up escorts and do hard drugs.

This place was filthy! Dirty sock/trash on floor. Toilet not cleaned, had urine and hair on. Table in room not cleaned, was what I hoped to be dried ketchup. Bathroom wall looked to have blood on and back of door had brown stains like someone threw a beverage. Bedsheets had stains…some looked like urine others were brown. The smell of pot was horrible. Had someone outside our door around midnight and our dog barked. The people said oh they have a dog and took off when I said yeah we have a dog. We were only in town one day and it was late when we got there. Didn’t notice this stuff until the next day because we were so tired. No sense talking to front desk clerk, too high to really care. Still waiting for my $50 security deposit they said would be 3-5 days. That was a week ago. I do NOT recommend this place!!!!

This property is pretty worn out. The room is decent with laminate floors and nice countertop, but the comforters are stained, there was beard hair and garbage left in the room, and things are scratched up. I was happy to stay here but I’ve paid less for waaaay nicer rooms in other big cities. But it does the job and I’m grateful.

Staff were nice, efficient and reasonable but the room we got was far from perfect. The TV screen didn't work and all we could hear was sound, our remote didn't come with any batteries and the refrigerator was broken. Would've went to front desk but due to certain circumstances, we couldn't get anyone to come up. Plus, we only stayed two night's (though counting the deposit, I spent over 300 for a room with no amenities.) Hopefully they'll get it fixed up for the next person.

There were many broken things. The window had a huge crack in it, the sink was separating from the counter, the light fixtures were falling off the walls, there were only 2 places to plug in devices, the sheets and walls were disgusting, and the cleaning staff didn’t clean the bathroom before we got there.

I needed a room at this interchange for one night. I got it. The room is plain and needs some serious updating, as almost everything is worn. BUT it was clean and the bed was comfortable enough. Good lighting but not one wastebasket. Cheap and adequate, but would stay elsewhere if it was for more than one night.

We arrived at 10 PM after driving all day. My stay was pre-paid, but the clerk required a deposit. I found later this was buried in the fine print. I asked for my license back and the clerk yelled at me to never come back. I will never visit a Red Roof Inn again and especially not this one. Very negative experience. If there are additional fees that may be required, they should be advised in the price. Not when I arrive.

We needed a reasonably priced, but safe, motel for an overnight stay due to an interview I had. If you're looking for something super fancy, elegant, &/or roomy, this would be a poor choice. But if you're looking for something affordable, safe, and reasonably comfortable for a short stay, it's absolutely PERFECT, and I highly recommend it! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and if I ever need a place to stay that won't cost me a fortute, this is where I'll be going. Highly recommend!

Property absolutely disgusting. Smell of death, something rotting. Dried, crusted vomit outside elevator. Not safe. More of an apartment building than hotel. When requested a refund, was told by hotel owner that would have to come from Expedia. Expedia said it has to come from vendor. Scam. This property should not be an option to book on Expedia.

Our initial room had dirty walls and a dirty door. The fire alarm was beeping repeatedly with no battery in it. There was no microwave or refrigerator. You can tell the door had been busted open due to the broken frame. Our second room was given as a result of the first room. It was slightly cleaner but we noticed bullet holes outside the door. Would NOT RECOMMEND!

-0/10 hotel. Do not go here. We walked into ur room and immediately left. It reeked of smoke, was dirty, and felt so unsafe. We specially booked a nonsmoking room and our room was clearly smoked in. The hotel employees solution was to put an air purifier in the room… like that was gonna help the hell hole we were in. Website was deceiving and I will be getting a refund.
