What guests think

Across many reviews, Red Roof Inn Alexandria, LA is described as a budget, no‑frills, recently renovated motel with clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff, convenient parking by exterior doors, and good value for short stays.

Multiple guests report issues like roaches or other bugs, smoke or musty odors, spotty maintenance (toilets, A/C, TVs), and concerns about the surrounding area’s safety and noise. Service is often kind and responsive, but some experienced slow or rude interactions, rooms not ready at check-in, and a $50 refundable deposit that can take days to return. Overall, expect a basic, pet-friendly stopover suited to short, budget-minded stays.

The ladies working at the desk were very kind and helpful. The room was clean and plenty of room. We were traveling with two elderly ladies so being able to park very near the hotel room was a definite plus.

Nothing special. Ok room for a night or 2. Served it's purpose if you're traveling on a budget. Decent internet speeds. No iron/ironing board in rooms, which I'm used to having in most hotels. Get to park near your room with motel style rooms. Very basic.

For a motel with outside doors and pet friendly, it was very clean. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy, but there is a fence and the attendant is observant and there were no vagrants in the parking area. The bed and pillows were exceptional and I slept like a log.

I will stay here again. It was clean, renovated, dog friendly, quiet, and comfortable. I love places that let me travel with my dog. The front desk was friendly. I don't care for hotel breakfasts, so this is what I look for. A place for my dog and no breakfast needed.

Not bad for the price, floor was pretty sticky and had dead bugs. Hotel next door was getting painted and they started pretty early and they were working from the parking lot of the Red roof inn. Woke us up at 5:45 am. Weve always liked Red Roofs, sometimes its a hit or miss. The dead bugs and sticky floor were a bit of a no for us.

I really wasn't expecting much when I arrived. The reviews were great but 5he price was fairly low. The hotel doesnt look like much from the highway. It's an older two story motel. However, it been gutted and completely renovated (at least in the areas i viewed). My room was clean, updated, and the bed comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I have to visit Alexandria often and it will be my new choice for a quiet stay

We felt right at home. The bed was more comfortable than ours at home, though. The staff and service could not have been better! I do not recall there being a drink machine in the snack/ice machine room, but, there was one in the motel lobby, so we had access to one. We'd stay at this Red Roof Inn again.

This stay was for our son’s baseball championship tournament. We needed to be on the fields by 5. We arrived at the hotel at 3 PM, which is the check-in time per their website and the confirmation emails we received. We were hoping to off-load luggage, let him change into his uniform, and let everyone freshen up. We were told upon arrival our rooms were not ready and that it would be another hour. We went ahead and checked in and received our room keys to help lessen the delay. We had driven 3 hours and we’re not familiar with the area, so we Googled a local park to hang out and warm up in. We drove back to the hotel after an hour and used our keys to enter our rooms, only to find them still overturned and disgustingly dirty. The manager once again apologized and told us they were “short staffed” and unable to give us a definite time of readiness. We had no other choice but to go to the fields and have our son change in the bathroom. Our luggage (family of 5) was still in the back of the truck, but we had no other options. We received the call at 6:24 in the middle of my son’s game, the rooms were finally ready….nearly 3 and a half hours later. None of us could leave to bring luggage in b/c we didn’t want to miss any of the game. We didn’t make it back to the hotel until nearly midnight. Upon entering the rooms, we counted 4 roaches (still alive and scurrying), there was hair in the shower drain, and fleas in the bed. I would NOT recommend this hotel.

From waiting 20 minutes outside to check in because the clerk was at the store to no working tv/wifi …. This was ridiculous. There were 3 rooms among us, only 1 tv worked and it was broken in picture. The wifi was so bad no one was able to complete assignments or do any work, much less watch TV. Large cockroaches … fantastic. Vagrants roaming the parking lot asking for money. My stepson was almost robbed in the parking lot but fortunately my spouse was nearby and was able to assist. The rest of us stayed locked in the rest of the night for safety. We were also put in 3 rooms the farthest from the office that required a ridiculous walk back and forth through an overgrown field just to unload. I got ripped off at $80/room. But, as long as yall got my money, right? Never again and im sure no one gives a single care about it. This run down, gross property is only missing a “by the hour” sign.
