“The Worst”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

I stay at red roofs around the country. This hotel is very dirty, and very shady people hanging out in the parking lot. I've never had a bad thing to say about another red roof inn, but this place is scary.

“great service at the red roof inn at the philadelphia airport”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

i have stayed at the red roof inn at the philadelphia airport many times and keep coming back because the people there are friendly, courteous, efficient, professional, and do whatever it takes to make guests feel at home. the office, maintenance, and housekeeping people are all very warm, work hard, and care about each guest. they are committed to their work and the hotel and it is a pleasure to stay at the inn.

best recommendation i can give!

“Fully Adequate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

This Red Roof is convenient to PHL airport and just of I-95, exit 9A, 10 miles south of Philly. It is adjacent to a Dennys Restaurant. The room and accomodations are adequate for an overnight, and the staff is friendly. My complaints relate to the smelly deoderizer used by the housekeeping people, the lack of a coffeemaker in the room, and no shampoo provided as an amenity. Nevertheless, the price and location are "right."

Room Tip: All rooms are "outside" access, standard with Red Roofs. There are elevators to access 2...

“Stay Away!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

We took a family trip to Philly and wanted to stay near the downtown area. We spent the previous night at Red Roof Inn at Princeton, NJ and had a pleasant experience so we took a chance going a Red Roof Inn by the Philly airport. when I got there, there were a lot of people hanging in the parking lot hanging out drinking in the parking lot. I saw one guy smoking a joint and five guys in a car blasting music. I had a bad gut feeling and went against it. I went to check in and had no problems until we went looking for our room on the second floor. I wanted to park right near our door and our room was located behind the hotel. When I drove past our room, the door was wide open with the lights on. I did not go to see it because I had my wife and my 15 month old son. I went back to the desk, complained and got a new room. My second room was closer to these thugs so I went back and decided to cancel so I went back to the front office and this time the clerk was like "what's the problem now" and I went off on the guy. While I was inside, my wife saw a guy open the trunk to his car and passed his friend a sawed off shotgun. She literally heard the guy say "pass me the burner" which in NY we know means a gun. As soon as I got back to my car my wife was crying and begged me to leave and so I sped off and never looked back. I guess there's a reason why the lobby was locked and the clerk spoke through a bullet proof window.

Julia Cole, Manager at Red Roof Inn Philadelphia Airport, responded to this review
19 October 2011
Dear Ss11717, we are so sorry about your recent experience with Red Roof Inn in Essington. This is NOT a normal occurrence for this property. Though we understand your concern for yours and your family’s safety I can assure you that this property is known for great service, location and price. This area is well patrolled by Tinicum Township police department and property security. This property is in very close proximity to all the best venues of Philadelphia entertainment we are sold out most of the weekends. Unfortunately for you that weekend was one of our busiest weekends; Philly’s game, Eagles game, Million Man March. Also, if you check our reviews prior to yours, you will see that our guests like this property and our service. After investigating this untypical view of our property, we would like to stress that this NOT a normal occurrence and what your experienced was nothing other than passionate Philly fans. I hope you let us and Red Roof Inns serve you again as a valued guest in the future.
