The room was ok, but the floors were sticky. The staff was very friendly. The only thing that I didn’t like, there was no phone in the room and the shower had a burn looking mark on the shower wall and the tube was very dangerously slippery when taking a shower. I will most likely not stay here again. I am just used to a more modern hotel.

Pet friendly and easy to get to but the rooms are very cramped, outlets by bed didnt work, when I used a paper towel to wipe up something off the floor it came back black like the floors never get mopped. Hardly ever anyone actually at the front desk, have to call them by phone to come down and always prompt but just found that odd. Coffee machine in lobby appears out of service with no coffee cups. Very thin walls can hear everything around you and there were multiple people jsut letting dogs bark and nobody seemed to care. Definitely not worth the price paid for literally no amenities

Parking lot was easy to enter. 1. The lobby STUNK 2. An employee was talking loudly in a foreign language to the front desk while I was trying to check in. 3. The bed sheets and pillows cases had STAINS on them like THEY HAD NOT BEEN CLEANED. 4. The blanket had POOP ? stains on it. 5. The bathroom tub had DIRT and soap by the drain. 6. There was a BICYCLE in the hallway. 7. Mades were knocking on doors at 7 o'clock at night. 8. Three young ladies were yelling in the hallway at 1130 at night.

For the price, you can't beat it. I've stayed here twice for work. It's nothing special, but for the price and a bed. It's been clean and the staff are very nice. No complaints.

No breakfast was available, not even coffee. There was a coffee pot in the lobby, but there was no coffee in the pot. The bed was okay. There was no one at the front desk when we arrived. There was a note with a phone number to call for someone to come to the front desk to check us in. It took about 15 minutes before anyone arrived. The tile floor in the room was dirty and our shoes would stick to the floor every step we made. It was obvious from the dust and trash behind the door that the room had not been thoroughly cleaned. I had sanitary wipes in my purse and used them to clean the toilet seat, bathroom handles, TV remote and everything possible in the room. We would never recommend this hotel or stay there again.

I was stranded and needed a place clean with great location. This was perfect!
- 2.5/5
We were attending a funeral and were in and out of town very quickly. Wanted somewhere that was no expensive. This place was clean and safe and in a good location. It is not a higher-end hotel, but I don't think it is intended to be. It filled our needs. Front counter guy was very nice. Well, if it were me, I'd replace the hall carpets with LVT. They were kind of nappy-looking. Towels were pretty worn.

The staff was great. They assisted me with my concerns. They reimburse me, but the sheets were not clean. I asked housekeeping to clean them to change them. They didn’t. They had a shooting there two doors down for me. The police were there a little too frequent for me and the final fall was no hot water for three days but but the staff was great especially Lucky

Overall it was a good visit. Had an issue the first night that was taken care of the next day. I appreciate the effort they made to fix it(there was a heavy weed smell and the tv was only getting a few channels, neither was an issue the second night). The A/C was pretty loud, sounds like a loose fan blade. The only other thing I would suggest is you gotta hit the floors with a swiffer pad or something. They were pretty dirty

Nice place
- 1.5/5
I didn’t The blankets looked dirty, the towels looked dirty, when I stepped on the floor, the floor was dirty. I had debris all at the bottom of my feet, the doors were cracked, the remote battery cover was held on by tape, the pictures did this place way too much justice. The only reason I stayed there because I have my check in the room for me one day early due to the way my flight got there so I didn’t even stay there the first night and when I got there, it was already too late for me to check out and get another room so I just dealt with it unhappily not to mention the begging installing and drilling of the maintenance in the room next to me all morning so I couldn’t sleep.

This isn't about what I liked. This is about using booking.com. This was my first time. Priceline and Expedia are way simpler to use. I had to verify my booking with the hotel and again with booking.com after I booked online. What should have been one transaction was actually three. It was hard to get in and out of the parking lot. Smokers were gathered in front of the building forcing us to enter and exit through a cloud of cigarette smoke. The towel rack in the bathroom was torn loose from the wall on the side nearest the tub. The tub was extremely slick which probably explains the towel rack. Our blanket on the bed was stained and had a burn hole in it. The room and bathroom has not been properly cleaned in a long time. Our socks turned black on the bottom so we threw them away when we left. I had to free the stuck mechanism in the toilet so it would flush.

- 0.5/5
nothing when we first got into our room, the room was very dirty. They were stains and mold from on the sheets and they had to switch our rooms, but when we got switched to a different room, it was still kind of the same issue. They just tidied up a little bit more and change the sheets and then I realize on my door that it wasn’t secure so the door stopper that’s at the top of the door that stops the door from always opening all the way open. It was broken off so anybody who uses a tiny bit of force to get into my room could’ve gotten into my room.

Beds were very comfortable and the staff was super friendly. Sticky substance on the floor that stuck to the bottom of your feet and made them black. Shower in the bathroom did not work and there was no drain plug to get a bath. Also the location was a a bit sketchy, I had my dinner stolen at the local Wawa

No smoking in the hotel but there were burn holes in the blanket. It smelled like smoke. People lived there with pets. Too much foot traffic. Not some where I would have my family stay on vacation.

Front desk staff was great but walls and door are paper thin; you can hear everything from above/next door/hallway like it’s happening inside your room. The bathtub had stains, hair, and sticky residue. The area is very convenient if you’re traveling with a dog. There is a park nearby and plenty of grass around the parking lot for a quick walk.

This was the worst experience I've ever had. The place was not clean the bedding had stains and when I asked for them to be change housekeeping came to my room in a wifebeater tshirt. When changing the sheets they threw the layering sheet on the floor and proceeded to try to put it back on the bed when changing the bed. After explaining that was not acceptable they proceeded to have a attitude when I ask for newer sheets. I will never stay at another red roof inn!

2.) My window has no locking device at all. There was the handle from a squeegy(sp) laying in the track of the window, but it was too short to prevent someone on the outside from opening it. 3.) The ac/heater was VERY loud.

Staff were great! It is an older building, but they are trying to keep up with it. The bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean, the bar in the window could have been better. The worse part was the floor was sticky, but I think it was because to much cleaner was being used to clean. The room itself was updated. I would stay again.

I read some of the other comments. Ok. Red Roof Inn is not so expensive. I just want a clean room, and easy check in/out. Red Roof Inn is not responsible for the bratty (parents should control this) kids that want to make a lot of noise. Also, there is a phone by the front desk that has a sign on it that says,"Front desk." So, if a real person is not there when you arrive, use the phone and someone will come right down. this is one of the cleanest Red Roof Inns i have stayed at. Lastly, I could not figure out why my remote did not turn the TV on. I asked the manager, and he walked with me to my room. He showed me to point the remote at a specific area, which is a red light on the left side. TVs work, no problem. Thank you very much, Red Roof Inn of Suffolk. I slept so good.

I stayed at the Red roof Inn in Suffolk Virginia this past weekend. I had a death in my family and everything in the area was booked out. When i mad the reservation i told them i would arrive before checkin time when i arrived it was no one at the front desk for starters. I had to call and call until someone asked and told me they would come momentarily. They mad me pay extra money on arrival. I explained i had came in for a funeral and need to get in my room to change clothes cause had been on the road all night. When we finally arrived in our room the overwhelming smell that came from the room was crazy. It had a old molded carpet smell only it was no carpets in the room. We ended up going to walmart to buy candles and spray to mask the smell. The bedding in the first room we was placed in was dirty so they changed our room. The second room still had a funny odor and the TV didn’t work. Over all i would highly NOT recommend this hotel.

My stay at the Red Roof Inn was good. The evening and morning staff were very nice, and friendly. I brought my dog, and they were very welcoming of him. This is a good hotel for the price. It's not the Ritz Carlton, but it's newly renovated, clean, and fairly quiet. My only complaint is I could smell marijuana through the vents, and it is supposed to be a "no smoking" facility. Other than that, the stay was good!
