WARNING!!! If you value safety, please DO NOT secure a reservation with this particular Red Roof. Despite the favorable reviews, what I encountered was less than favorable.
First, one is not able to access the lobby to check-in, that had to be done through a security window [red flag #1]; second, when I learned I was on the 2nd floor, I asked if I could have a first level room and the response was, "not one that is very nice" [red flag #2]; third, when driving around the parking lot, there were people everywhere, roaming about and this was close to 10p [red flag #3]; fourth, upon driving to my room, it was evident that people were actually living in these rooms as opposed to just securing them for a night or two [red flag #4]; fifth, upon entry into the room, the back side of the door was peppered with dents and dings, almost as though it was evidence as someone trying to get out [red flag #5]; six, when I was in the room looking around, there was so much commotion going on outside that I was quickly becoming more and more uncomfortable [more red flags].
I called Hotels.com to share with them my safety concerns and that I did not want to stay and they encouraged me to go back down to the lobby so, on my way back to the lobby, I ran into people barely clothed, a people in bathrobes and a lot of people just loitering everywhere. It clearly was not a good situation, I was unable to cancel my reservation so, I chose to leave without refund. Go elsewhere!
