I spent 2 weeks in Columbus with my family (2 kids, wife and my father). Red Roof staff (frond desk Manager) was very helpfull and nice. I had to travel to Chicago and came back to the hotel. He faciliated a lot with the check-out timming, etc.

What a gorgeous and clean hotel. We traveled for 3 months from Red Roof to Red Roof cause we have a doggie. This is one of the nicer ones. Front desk (owner) was beyond courteous. Polite, friendly, enthusiastic. Inside entrance. Good mattress. Nice TV. Used to be a Holiday Inn Express. I don't know why anyone would not be happy... More

Terrible management! Rooms were nasty,smelled like smoke in a non-smoking rooms. Two of our families trucks were broken into and everything stolen out of them. Hotel still made us pay full price for the rooms. I will never stay at a Red Roof again!

If you use hotel websites you can get a room for under $35. And its very unlike motel 6 and knights inn. I won't stay in those because usually the price reflects the clientelle. This is located behind the comfort inn that has the exact same building structure. It is INSIDE ENTRANCE which is a must. The rooms have been... More

Conveniently located near the interstate. A little down in the mouth so to speak. The worst thing about it was the dusty room. The lampshades and picture frames very dusty as well as the mirrors and picture glass. The bathroom was clean with a new tub and water was plentiful and hot. The breakfast room was just very uninviting and... More

The hotel was a good price. The room was big enough but it had a musty smell and overall seemed old and grimy but I couldn't pinpoint anything "dirty" if that makes sense. The staff was nice and the location was where we needed to be. I'd stay here again if I was looking for an average hotel and was... More

Sketchy location, right off the highway, but definitely not somewhere I'd want to stay for a long time. Front desk person could not possibly care less. Room was clean and just okay. This is LOW budget travel. NO elevator. Be prepared to drag your stuff up the stairs. Doubles are full size beds, not queens. Tough parking when coming in... More
