What guests think

At Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Wilmington - Newark, feedback is sharply mixed, with some guests noting clean, basic rooms and courteous staff, while many others report serious issues including insects, lingering smoke odors, and an overall worn, poorly maintained property.

Several reviews mention late-night noise, people loitering around exterior corridors, and a generally uncomfortable atmosphere. Service experiences vary from friendly help to cancelled reservations without notice, locked lobbies, and difficulty reaching staff or recovering deposits. On the plus side, the location is convenient to restaurants, highways, and the casino, and some travelers found the beds comfortable. Expect a budget stay with significant trade-offs.

The credit card machine wasn't working so to check in took a while. I chose the room on the second floor and the elevator was on the end. The room was ridiculous hot and even with the AC blasting we could not get the temperature down so I was sweating all night long. The bathroom at mold and I couldn't find no ice machine. The room had the coffee machine and some coffee and creamers no microwave but the safe. 5 minutes driving there was a few restaurants but the area around the property look very didn't she and make me feel a little unsafe.

Avoid this property. It's not really even serving as a normal motel - probably surviving on Section 8 payments. Tended to be noisy at times since there were many families with kids living here. Especially tough if one needs to work and sleep odd hours. Rather than a Red Roof Inn PLUS+, we would call this a Red Roof Inn MINUS-. Front desk generally pleasant, but obviously not able to drive maintenance. Speaking of front desk, coffee maker in lobby was inoperable for several days of our stay for one reason or another (no water, no Nescafe 'instant' coffee, whatever). First room, 103. Took 15 minutes or more to get water hot enough for a shower. Answer: None. Sink drain stuck, couldn't empty water. Answer: they removed the plug. Needed a new fluorescent bulb above the sink. Answer: Fiddle with the switch. Guess they were out of bulbs. Was called at job site at 3:15 in the afternoon and advised that my room window was broken out. Was told I would have to change rooms. See photo. Was moved to room 315. Wonky toilet flush. Rather than complain, just lived with having to flush multiple times. Other issues as well. At least the hot water seemed to appear far more quickly than in 103.

When we arrived, the lobby was locked and we had to check in behind a glass window with a open door to pass paperwork through (we got there around 5:30 so still daylight out). We checked in and were given our room key. Walk into the room, turn the lights on and immediately roaches scatter. I called down to the desk and explained this and she immediately offered another 'premium' room. Walked into this room and no bugs (we checked everywhere). The bedding was great, room was nice and clean. We could tell this was a hotel where people were living. Everyone we encountered were super nice so it didn't bother us because we know times are hard. We didn't see any type of criminal activities, but, we went out to dinner and came back and there was a police vehicle driving through the parking lot. Although it made me feel safer, it also made me worry about what actually goes on there. Like I said though, everyone we encountered was very nice, respectful (even the youth), so we didn't stress over it. The TV in the room just said 'no service', but we were tired so that wasn't a big deal. When we went to leave the next morning, as soon as I opened the door all I could smell was weed (like overbearing as if they were standing outside our door). We were leaving so didn't bother me and it's something you smell everywhere now anyway. Overall the staff was great, the 2nd room ended up being great, but not somewhere I would pick to stay again if we traveled through here in the future.

This is the nastiest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The lobby is the only good thing about this hotel and that’s where it stops. we had to wait 45 minutes for our room to be ready even though it was already after 3 o’clock. I had to leave the lobby to wait outside because there’s only one employee who had to go physically check to see if rooms were ready. The rooms are disgusting. Everything is falling apart. Our room reeked of cigarette smoke. The TV didn’t work and basically we were told maintenance was already gone so there’s nothing they could do about it. Mold in the bathroom, broken faucet and a roach crawled on us in the middle of the night.

My boyfriend and I have not stayed anywhere else besides this property and all of a sudden we have bedbugs? Absolutely disgusting. This place is run down and cheap for a reason. Do NOT stay here if you respect yourself.

When we got there to check in, they had the reservation, but were sold out of rooms so they couldn’t honor it. They had never contacted us ahead of time to let us know. It’s was parents weekend for my daughter’s college and everywhere was sold out and they couldn’t give us a room or explain why this happened. It was exactly like the Seinfeld rental car scene. Worst and most baffling hotel experience I’ve ever had.

At check-in, I was greeted with: “Have you paid for the reservation? We’re full. All unpaid reservations have been cancelled. There are no rooms available.” I planned to pay on arrival, but the credit card was already billed. This is the 1st time I had to pay an additional deposit on the credit card of $100 for possible damages. I hope I get it back.

This was a horrible experience! We booked a room there for Parents’ weekend advance. They called us at 6p the night of while we were out with our college son at an event to tell us they canceled our reservation with no explanation!? We had to scramble to find a room when there were no rooms available anywhere! We ended up sleeping at a roach motel that night! And did not refund us the money on top of that!! I tried calling them multiple times and they answer! They ruined our weekend with our son… I’m extremely disappointed.

The only explanation we were given by the extremely rude desk lady was because we didnt pay when we booked. We book hotels all the time and never had to prepay. Then to find out that they charged my card but then took it back, not once but twice? Will be calling the hotel directly tomorrow

I was so unhappy with my experience at this location! I got to the location on time, I went to the front desk to check in, they told me that there were no rooms available, even though they saw my reservation. I shared that I had a reservation, they agreed. He said it didn't matter, I said why didn't you call me to let me know that it was canceled, I drove from Maryland here for a reason. I have an event to attend and that caused me to be late! I was so upset! I had to go across the street to The hotel 🏨 there paid lot of money for me to get a room. That was unfair and I believe I deserve to be compensated for my missed functions, paying over my plan budget and the headaches!

Also, even though the property clearly says “No Smoking,” people were smoking upstairs, and the smell carried through the hallways. Overall, I did not feel comfortable staying here.

Listen, for a $99 hotel room, this met my needs. The room was clean, I had a place to sleep and bathe and it was super convenient to SO many restaurants and shopping. Was the clientele concerning? The man riding his bike around the second floor was annoying and the all night cornhole games on the lot next door was loud, but we were there for two nights. Was great for what I needed when I needed it. Also, the staff was really nice. Will I be back? I’m not violently opposed but I definitely appreciated being introduced to a fun new area.

When we first arrived to the hotel, the guest infront of us was screaming at the person behind the desk saying that when they checked into their room, the sheets were covered in fecal matter and dog prints. He even showed us pictures of it. It smelled like “skunk” all throughout the lobby and even in our room. Since the stairwell is public there were random people running around all night. There were gunshots right below us at around midnight. Not a safe place to stay especially with kids.
