“Clean and affordable”

Red Roof Inn

3 of 5 stars
Boston, MA
Nov 24, 2007

We stayed there on Thanksgiving night and comparably was a good deal in relation to some of the other places on the same strip.
The standard King room is small but enough for a party of two. There are no hair dryers or coffee machines but there is a Dunkin Donuts about 50 feet from the building you can easily walk to. Bring your own shampoo. Tissues are of the folded variety that fit into handbags. We were on the backside of the building, which faces the airport. I could see some planes taking off and you can hear them. That's the only drawback. Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Otherwise, the room was pretty clean and looks like they were recently updated.

“Okay for one night.”

Red Roof Inn

3 of 5 stars
Crowley, TX
Oct 7, 2007

Very basic and small. We got a great rate, but requested a non-smoking room due to allergies and they put us in a smoking room that had a "no-smoking" sign in it. There was a hair on the stool; but seemed to be clean otherwise. I always take a can of Lysol and Clorox wipes to wipe off door knobs,phone, etc. anyway for "peace of mind". Beds fairly comfortable. Airplane noise the next morning, but we got up early to get to the airport. The only reason I wouldn't stay again is they obviously can't guarantee a non-smoking room.

    • Disliked — smoking room when it was supposed to be non-smoking

“Inexpensive, clean motel for short stay”

Red Roof Inn

Aug 27, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

The rooms at this motel have been recently refurbished so they are in good condition with new carpets, furniture and bathrooms. We found the bathroom to be of above-average quality for a budget motel. The outside of the motel is the normal Red Roof style with exterior corridors. The motel was quiet the night we stayed. Overall a good choice if you need an inexpensive place to stay for a night or two.

“Great Place, Clean...Clean...Clean !”

3/3 found this review helpful

Needed a place to stay for one night. Seems we can always count on a Red Roof Inn. Clean and Dependable!
Also, truly pet friendly......not just lip service! No designated "pet rooms"....every room is clean! No dirty hallways to walk through, doors lead right to the outside, but are tight closing and the outside noise stays outside! We love Red Roof Inns!

“Like Jet noise? This one has it.”

Red Roof Inn

3 of 5 stars
Boston, Massachusetts
Oct 11, 2006
6/6 found this review helpful

To their credit, Red Roof has done upgrades on rooms in an attempt to look like a real hotel. New fixtures and floors. Out with the cliche art work and in with some kind of hip appeal. Still just a motel, but with bigger TV and internet access.
Not good if you have kids, no pool, but there is an Olive Garden next door.
The major issue on our visit was the airport Jet Traffic - right out side the window ! When the wind blows from the north-west, all the jets come in over your room, great if you like jet noise. The photo here is from inside guest room. rm. 338.
So if you stay here, get a room on the Wolf road side. If you have a choice, go to the new Hilton right next door. Red roof is a good value despite the noise.
