Place is run down a bit. Had to request batteries fortv remote. Hair (not ours) on pillow case.
TV was hard to get to function. Breakfast options was lacking.

I have to separate the facility itself from the situation I run in. The hotel itself is not bad, you get what you pay for. Nothing special and not a disaster, ok for a short stay.
I have booked this hotel for 2 nights on 2 separate bookings on Booking.com . When arrived there they found my booking which I was already charged for by Booking.com, the person at the counter said he cannot check me in because the card Booking.com gave them (their card) did not work. So they cannot check me in for my stay which I already have paid to Booking.com . Long story short - I was not let to get my room there. To say it was extremely disappointing experience is the least. The hotel did not offer any other options despite I showed them my payment confirmation. Did not say - hey, lets give you a room and sort this in the morning, or get another room here, we will refund you when we sort this thing out with Booking. Nothing. This is how much they trust Booking.com .
I asked if all I have is to walk away and find another place - clerks confirmed - yes, we cannot check you in. Great!
Meantime I tried to reach Booking.com Customer support through their app. Got response - we will get back to you in 24 hrs. I called their Customer support number, robot asks to enter the booking reference number, and nothing further happens, tried many times. So I had to find another place for the stay, and pay quite a bit more. Remember, I paid my room already in the Red Roof Ames hotel.
Ok, in the morning I saw that my next nights booking was cancelled by Red Roof Ames hotel. Just like that. Send them a message to explain the reason- nothing.
In the evening came to this hotel and asked why they have cancelled my stay for second night as it was separate booking - they said we did not, and they cannot help. That's it. I asked if any free rooms at all there - yes they are. Can I book one - yes. How difficult is that to propose to a customer who still wants to stay?...
Some days later Booking.com comes back on my complaint and says - you had to to contact us when you had a problem, not after a day or two we cannot help you anymore.
Pathetic customer service, all I can say!

Clean room, affordable, good amenities. There was plenty of parking as well.
The Jacuzzi was missing the knob to turn on the jets. It was very dirty as well, we were disappointed in that.

the hallway leading to my room upon arrival, did not smell good. it was maybe as if someone was cooking food and it stunk up the place. it was also quite loud. the people above me walked crazy loud, and no one closed their door quietly….. always slamming doors.

The flashing lights outside the windows. You could see them still with the curtains closed.

It's fine for a cheap hotel room. Older facility but new floors, paint, furniture and beds. Fresh linens and pillows
HVAC even on lowest setting made the room very warm and stuffy

I've stayed at the Red Roof Inn a lot in the past 5 or 6 years. Never had a compliant..
3.0
Convenient location, price was lower than surrounding hotels.
My hotel room was in really poor shape. The walls were peeling in several spots, the shower looked grimy, the door lock latch had been removed, the bedding had a smokey scent, there was no temp control in the room so it was way colder than I’m comfortable with, and the room was not the least bit soundproof (could hear everything in the hall and outside). It was overall unpleasant and did not feel private.
9.0
Staff was friendly. Super easy access to room.
Have no complaints

The location was convenient.
I did not get the 2 rooms close to each other, as I had requested. The hallways had a odor throughout the building, and the bathroom door did not shut in either room.
4.0
even though they were not busy, I was put in a room with no view and noisy and mold in the bathtub area. staff was rude when I asked for a different room.
