woke at 3am to 'bites', turned on the lamp and
killed 3 in the bed..stayed awake the rest of the
night with the light on.....
of course, thats the first they have ever heard
of that happening.............

Booked via the web (pre-paid) for a 2-night stay. Specified non-smoking room. Room reeked of smoke, so I guess Red Roof's definition of "non-smoking" means no one was actually smoking in the room when we arrived.

Trouble started the next morning. We had placed a "Do Not Disturb" on the doorknob. At 8:00 am, a cleaning woman tried to open the door, but she was stopped by the safety latch. We were getting ready to leave anyway, so we politely told her to go ahead and clean the room. We were just a little shocked that she tried to get in the room when we had the "Do Not Disturb" on the door. She said she thought the room was empty. We told her we have a two-night stay. She apologized, but we sensed she did not speak English very well. We should have stopped at the front desk, but we thought it was just a confused cleaning woman, and we were excited to get going on our sight-seeing.

The next night, at 3:35 am, we were awakened by someone trying to break into our room. With our hearts pounding, we heard someone with a key card trying over and over again to get the door open. Not knowing what was going to happen, my friend and I were literally standing at the door ready to defend ourselves. The people that were trying to get in could not get the key card to work. I called the front desk in a panic. The female manager said, "Oh, I thought the room was empty! I typed in the wrong room number!" Well, at 3:35 am, being awakened from a deep sleep, we were now up for the next 5 hours, unable to sleep, adrenaline pumping.

We were miserable the next day as we headed out to sight see (USAF Museum), having only about 3 hours of sleep. I stopped at the front desk to check out, and when the manager asked how my stay was, I explained (politely, with a little sarcasm thrown in, I was very tired) that someone tried to break into our room at 3:45 am. The manager (the same one) didn't even apologize, she said she thought we were gone, then she said she typed in the wrong room number. I explained that the reservations were VERY clear, it says "2-nights" right on the receipt in big, bold letters. She never apologized, she didn't offer to knock anything off the bill, nothing. And believe me, with only 3 hours of sleep, I wanted to make a bigger deal out of it, but I simply signed the receipt and we left.

I sent an e-mail to Red Roof (corporate) describing what happened. They never replied. That's why I decided to post this here. I guess they figure no one would ever know, but thankfully, we have the ol' world wide web so common folks like us can warn others about this hotel's poor treatment of their guests, their incompetent staff, and their inability to even say "sorry" after ruining our night (and following day).

We will stay at a higher level hotel next time, we learned our lesson.

Basic room with 2 beds. Tiny packets of shampoo that you squeeze out. Air Conditioning/fan are pretty loud but drown out any noise from outside your door where people park.

Internet access in your room is $19.95 per week and was a little difficult to connect by password. You don't plug it in.

Came back to my room at 3:30 p.m. and had not been cleaned. Not vacuumed for 2 days. After I got on them they were there at 8:15 a.m. the next morning to clean it. I did stay 5 nights so expected my room cleaned first.

Bob Evans 3 meals a day, a well known Ohio restaurant just a minute walk.

Staff were nice. Just the basics is what this hotel is about. Convenient to airport.

This was the last hotel we stayed at during our long roadtrip. We reserved the room via the Red Roof website and let them know we were checking in late. We got there at 3am and there was no room held for us. We reserved a room with 2 beds, fridge/microwave and the only room she had left was a room with "one bed" which we understood to be a room with one KING size bed... not a room with one double bed and one empty bedframe!! Which is exactly what we got. (see the photos) The dresser was also missing the top drawer. There was no remote control and the room smelt of mold, stale beer and cigarettes.
We complained about the room and she gave us a room that she was holding for someone with a reservation the following night... umm hello? We had a reservation THAT night!
The other room had 2 beds, fridge and microwave but smelt JUST as bad... The air conditioner (if you can call it that) didnt blow out any cold air, even on the highest speed. It was also full of dirt, hairs, and mold. The room smelt the same as the other but if you turned on the air conditioner it left the room with a stale dirt smell. The bed and carpet also felt moist/damp since the room was stuffy and got no clean air into it.
The bathroom vents were covered in an inch thick layer of dust.
Also, the room had no coffee machine.. you had to walk to the front desk and buy it from the woman there who was no help when we checked in or complained.
Last issue was the door handle was shaky and did not feel secure AT ALL. There were lots of drunk guests screaming and laughing on the second floor balcony and it was just a pain in the butt overall. We pushed the armchair in front of the door and got about 4 hours sleep.
Will NEVER stay at this place again!
