After searching both this area as well as Fredrick, MD, for a place to stay with our 2 children and dog on the way to the OBX from NE Ohio, we determined that the Red Roof Williamsburg-Hagerstown was our only option. I'm an admitted Hampton Inn girl, so I was skeptical, but unless I wanted to drive straight through to NC (a 12+ hr. drive), I had to suck it up.

Pros -- decent room. I read another review about lack of cleanliness. I didn't have that problem at all. Shower worked fine, good water pressure, okay beds. We were just coming off a mini-vacation at a cabin, and I think I slept better at the RR than I did in the cushy beds at our cabin. The Wifi was free and worked fine.

Cons -- "breakfast". It was donuts and a juice machine. Crappy coffee. There are no restaurants really nearby except McD's across a busy street and Waffle House in the same parking lot. We asked if there was a chinese place close and ordered from there. It was apparently right across the street in a plaza. It came quickly and was delicious.

Really, who can complain? You get what you pay for. Was it the Ritz? No? Was it adequate for $60 a night and pet friendly? Yes.

I don't understand the huge complaints I see here. This is a comfortable enough place to get a good night's sleep, especially when riding the C&O Canal. My wife and I stayed there while riding in October 2008 and I returned in October of 2009. It's not far from the towpath and it seems friendly enough.

I would only fault it for there not being many restaurant options nearby. I have a dislike for chains, such as the nearby Waffle House, and the Chinese restaurant across the way was disappointing. Howevetr, when we return in Autumn of 2011 and again stay at Red Roof Inn, I plan to check out the "Deli-Licious" Deli that is next to the Chinese place.

My parents are Red Roof loyal and so on a recent trip from Atlanta to upstate NY to see them, they sent me pages from a Red Roof directory. I wanted someplace clean, at a reasonable price and that would be pet friendly. I chose this location because the ad said the rooms were recently remodeled, that there was wireless internet and that there was an outlet mall close by.

Once I checked in to my room I would have immediately checked back out had it not been for the fact that severe storms had moved in. I will let the photos I am attaching tell you the condition of the hotel. The room was FILTHY. Please not that these photos have not been altered other than to crop/resize them so they could be emailed.

Last week I contacted Red Roof corporate and asked for an email address that I could send the photos to. It was apparently sent to the manager of the location where I stayed. He offered no refund, no nothing other than " I am sorry your stay did not meet your expectations".

I slept in my clothes, on a towel I brought from home and left an expensive pillow behind when I checked out because I was afraid of what might have crawled in it. The ONLY good thing I can say about this Red Roof location is that the wireless internet does work.

Don't go by the web site for this hotel! The Wi FI was down the 3 days we were there. The desk kept saying it was a Verizon problem yet my Blackberry emails were coming through just fine on Verizon. I was told I could go to the Public Library to use my lap top. The web site says there are Microwaves and refrigerators in each room. Not true. My room did not have either. My parents room had both. It seems only queen rooms have those items - the web site doesn't mention this. The continental breakfast is non existent. The first morning there were 2 stale donuts, watered down orange juice and NO COFFEE. The desk said their coffee machine was broken. The second morning they had coffee and nothing else exept a sign saying "Sorry, No Donuts today". We were told we could to across the street to McDonalds but no offer of compensation. Where were the bagels or English muffins? Stale donuts are their idea of a continental breakfast and only on some days! The web site mentioned that the rooms had been redone with granite - that was true but there are NO HAIR DRYERS. Why would any owner go to the expense of installing granite but no hair dryers?? They keep a few hair dyers at the front desk but did not have any left when I asked for one. There are other options in the area and next time I will explore them. This was the second stay in 6 months and each time it gets worse. This was the last stay for me.
