Red Roof Inn Phoenix- Midtown

Everything was great except hotel advertise that have vending machines and ice machines are free. Unfortunately vending machine with snacks was completely empty and the only two ice machines haven't ran in years.

I booked this hotel based on the other hotels.com reviews but now it is clear to me that most of the positive reviews are fake. I graduated from GCU and needed a cheap and clean place to stay. I wasn’t expecting much but this was a huge surprise… in the worst way. Upon arrival, I was met with the site of a pimp and 2 of his employees, one of which had no legs. I also saw several scary looking men, obviously on drugs. When I checked in, I was told that I was checking in to a smoke free room. Perfect, I don’t smoke. I walk in and I am hit with the smell of strong nasty cigarettes. Ew. We get into the room and it looks ok-ish at first but I quickly noticed the cigarette burns in the curtains, the mold in the shower, and the not so recently mopped floors. The only positives were the water pressure in the shower was good, the water temperature got nice and hot, and the fridge and microwave were clean and worked well. I absolutely would never come here again. Please do not come here if you are traveling with children. The yelp reviews mention multiple shootings in the parking lot. This was my bad for not doing more research before coming. Also, on our way out, I encountered another hooker whos nips and butt cheeks were completely out. Not what I was expecting to see at 7:45AM. Staff was polite

This place is a dangerous dump

Door looked like it was broken into a few times, I had to call the police department because of a domestic situation, had a dog barking the whole night. Place was horrible to stay at. Location and entrance was not easy to find or figure out.

I'm going to be fair, this motel is on what I would find out was a "bad side of town" in Phoenix. All this being said, and all things considered, the staff does what they can to keep it safe. The parking lot is gated so your car should be safe, and while the room has the kind of wear you'd expect in a motel in such a part of town, I've stayed in worse. Staff was friendly, and they had on site security. I give them a solid B minus. The air conditioner could probably use to be deep cleaned.
