My husband and I have been staying at your Denver-West location in Lakewood,Co for a couple months now and there are a few things we would like to address that we are very dissatisfied with.

I am currently 8 and a half months pregnant and upon the beginning of our stay the room was not cleaned saficiently and while trying to sanitize the kitchenette,the stove range that wasn't even in use shorted out and almost electicuited me.

Our fridge shuts off and leaks water all over the floor,spoiling our food and we never have hot water for showering or doing dishes.

We are currently paying daily and they change the rate on us on a consistant basis.

Never have we been offered a discount,special rate or promo on our room and have only been offered cleaning services i believe twice our whole…

We stayed at the Maryland Heights, MO Inn from Sunday, April 28th thru Wednesday, May 2, 2019.

We had difficulty with the key card for the door EVERY TIME we went out.

We went to the lobby to have the situation fixed.

The day shift desk clerk was very rude.

Tried to make excuses as to why it didn't work instead of solving the problem.

When I checked out on Wednesday - she didn't even speak to me.

Rude - very rude ! !

Her comments to us were totally inappropriate ! !

And I was offended.

NASTY!!

I had to change rooms and the second room was no better than the first one!

There were no other available hotels in the area or I would have checked out and left the first time.

The floors and the beds were filthy.

A large sticky spill right in front of sink/safe area, hairs on the sheets, BLOOD on the comforter/spread.

There wash trash along the edge of the walls and behind the beds.

The second time I simply asked for all clean linens and towels.

If DHEC were to investigate, this place would be shut down!

The table lamp was full of RUST!!

There was also a homeless man sleeping under the stairwell.

I stayed at 91 Vision Court Greenville, SC 29607.

Yes they gave me a complete refund, but this place needs to be reported to proper agencies!

Bed bug : During stay on 26th April 2019, my son got bitten multiple time by bed bug.

When contacted hotel staff they refused to share manager or management's contact details.

When contacted corporate office they closed my complaint immediately stating Las Vegas location is franchise owned so only local staff could help.

Contacted franchise director and she too refused to help stating they can;t do anything except to offer one free night stay.

I wish their family suffers the same...

I am writing this complaint as I want it documented in the event something happens to my wife, dogs or me.

I chose Red roof inn in Jacksonville FL.

Orange Park, as it is the only hotel in the area that at the time would accommodate my two dogs.

This hotel is infested with drug dealers, prostitution and drug addicts.

They are constantly arresting someone for selling drugs on the premises.

The dealers live in the hotel.

Why anyone has not done anything about this is unacceptable.

The living environment is dangerous and unsafe.

The house keeping is unprofessional they wear no shoes when cleaning rooms in which they do a poor job of that.

As the rooms are not thoroughly clean.

I will not recommend this facility to anyone.

My wife with 30 years of military service and still serving…

I stayed 2 nights.

I had to go to office to get fresh towels and toilet tissue, housekeeping did not service my room.

The smoke alarm beeped the whole time because batteries needed changed.

They served free coffee, but had no coffee both days.

The dresser top in the room was not clean.

There were white particles which looked like drugs to me left behind.

There was a party going on over my head until 3:30 am!

The bathroom was not clean.

The guy at the front desk appeared to hate his job.

It was an uncomfortable experience altogether.

The woman who checked us out didn't ask if we enjoyed our stay, and appeared to care less.

Checked into your hotel on 4-5-19 and when we are in the process of leaving the room the door would not shut from the outside.

Contacted front desk to report problem it took the gentleman a long time to look at the problem after I had called him.

Once he arrived then he could not fix the problem.

Offered another room but at this time I was very frustated and didn't feel safe staying there.

I would like a discount like half price for another night stay.

I would like to contimue to stay at your facility.

My sister and I booked a room from 03/05/19 to 03/07/19 at Red Roof Inn in West Columbia SC.

We arrived Tuesday, March 5th after a ten hour drive.

Check in went fine.

Got my key card, went to go in my room, the tv was on and the curtain was 1/2 way open...

I went back to the front desk to tell the man and he said it’s fine to go in.

They always keep the rooms like that.

I said okay.

My sister and I went in the room.

The odor of the room was horrific.

This was a “non smoking” room.

We were tired from driving all day so we said okay whatever.

I went to go shower, and I couldn’t get the water to turn on.

I called the front desk he said, “you have to pull on it really really hard.” I said okay.

I went back in the bathroom.

Pulled “really really hard” and it came on.

The bathroom…

my husband,daughter and myself come to San Antonio for the weekend of march 1, 2019 through March 3. we booked the hotel for three days and two nights at 6880 Northwest Loop 410.

I have a couple of different complaints about this establishment.

The first one being that the elevator did not work properly.

After we checked in we went to get into the elevator to go to our room on the second floor the door would close but it never would go anywhere after 4 temps of trying to get to our hotel by elevator a man came over and told us that after the door closes on the inside you have to help it finish closing and then it would take you up to the next floor.

The second one is my daughter dropped her toy and it went under the bed I got down on the floor to get her toy from under the bed and…

Me and my girlfriend have fallen on some tuff times.

We have stayed at your Red Roof Inn location here in Anderson SC since a week before Christmas of 2108.

I have applied for two positions here for maintenance and I housekeeping to help us get back on our feet.

We have come to to the point where we have begged to have a job and both times have been giving the cold shoulder and the run around .

We were told to talk to so so and then so so and have been completely disrecptected by the the maintenance , housekeeping and also by the staff here working at the front desk, especially one named Joanne that works the front desk she has been completely rude everytime we have came in contact with her.

Iam disgusted with the way we have been treated here.

I made a reservation through Booking.com and arrived with a front desk manager informing me that I had no reservation.

Then she asked what company did I use, I told her Booking.com and she snickered.

I found nothing funny when it was a snow storm, I had a crying infant and traveled from New York.

I then got a mysterious letter via email from Red Roof accepting full responsibility for the cancellation, then, the front desk manager claimed the Booking.com sent a cancellation list with my name on it twice.

Also stating that "Booking does this all the time." I was highly upset and asked if she could accommodate us since it was a storm and I had an infant -she said she will see what can do.

In all, we were accommodated but this was abhorrent circumstances with different pointing the blame…

Red Roof Inns/Six Flags Atlanta Georgia/ November 30th 2018 / The condition of the Inn The Red Roof Inn Six Flags in Atlanta Georgia has boarded up windows, debris everywhere outside including discarded mattresses and broken furniture .

We honestly thought it was closed and we should be at a different one- one that had been built in its place.

When we saw someone come out. we went inside to inquire.

To our amazement we were in the right place.

The inside smells foul ( some perfume spray to mask odors) and it is dark and gloomy.

Asked to see our room which was the worst.

One bed in a two bedroom room so half of the room was literally bare.

There were two pieces of furniture, a bureau and a piece which would have held a refrigerator if one had been there.

The furniture was peeling…

Could not use room and already paid for it and immediately had to leave.

Although I had to use cash and still the Red Roof charged my credit card again for $86.
