Red Roof Inn

Save your money and don’t stay here. The room I stayed in was disgusting (dust/​grime over everything), broken appliances and curtains, stained linens and towels. To top it all off, there was an ant infestation in my room. I woke up with ants on the bed, in my bags… it was horrible. I wasn’t expecting something spectacular for $ 89, but this was seriously disappointing. I could have slept more comfortably in my car to be honest.

I know. It’s a Red Roof Inn so what did I really expect? With that being said, DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE! The rooms they show online look NOTHING like the actual room. Good luck getting in the door to your room. I work out everyday and I had trouble opening the door… when the key actually worked. Also we’re nowhere near a beach so why is there no carpet on the floor!!! Waking up and walking on a dirty linoleum floor is not my idea of a good experience.
Secondly, there were 4 of us in a room with 2 full beds yet there were only 2 washcloths & towels in the room. At least he staff was accommodating enough to give us us 2 extras. There was no remote for the tv, which also had to be requested from the front desk. Call me crazy but I would think that’s something that is standard anywhere you go.
Lastly my 10 y/​o daughter asked me if someone was murdered in the room due to the suspicious looking rust (??) stains behind the ironing board and on the bathroom door. The sink & toilet are in separate areas (which is ok) but the sink moves and the wall behind the sink is removable!
We had better accommodations staying at the Yogi Bear campgrounds. Lesson learned.

It’s clean and comfortable. It’s not a five star resort but it fits the bill. Close to Lincoln Highway but you can barely hear the traffic during the night. Third floor has an enclosed hallway which is a major plus.
Had a slight hiccup when the first room we got wasn’t clean when we walked in. Went back down and got it sorted out. Moved a few doors down. Comfy and clean.

I’ve stayed at this place for two Thanksgivings in a row with my family. Very reasonable accommodation for the price, especially since it is literally the midpoint of two big outlets (Rockvale and Tanger). Wi-​fi worked for us, our room had mounted flat screen TV, and the breakfast is also decent.

My friend and I visit Lancaster every November to visit the outlets and we usually stay at this hotel. This is a bare bones, basic hotel. It’s not fancy or glamorous, nor is it high-​end. The rooms are okay and we found our room to be clean and well-​maintained. On the plus side, the hotel is conveniently located right near the outlets. We usually get a decent rate — not phenomenal, but not terrible either. Check-​in is usually quick and efficient. They do serve breakfast, although we’ve never checked it out, so I am not sure what it consists of.
On the down side, there are areas of this hotel that are sad and dated and in serious need of upgrading, particularly the corridors, stairways and elevator. The phone in our room did not work and looked to be about 20 – 30 years old (you could tell it was once off-​white, but was now yellowing from age). I found the bed uncomfortable (too hard) and tossed and turned with a sore back.
It does appear they are doing upgrades. We noticed new carpeting in the room and a flat screen t.v. and the clerk at the front desk mentioned they would be doing more upgrades this year.

Wifi never worked, called the front desk about it a couple times, nothing came from it.
The hotel needs a complete renovation. The stairs and corridors looked old and shabby. The room I had looked ok at first then I thought very differently when I saw the bathroom. The tub looked messy and old, even had a crack in it, along with a strand of body hair someone else left behind.
Honestly, I’d rather pay more and stay comfortably from now on.

I stayed at the Lancaster PA Red Roof Inn on the evening of Thursday, December 4^th. It was okay. The staff was nice and friendly, the room was clean, the shower water was reasonably warm. I somehow managed a pre-​paid rate through a website for something like $ 50, which is terrific. I didn’t have any bedbug problems like another person posted in his/​her review. It’s a decent hotel at a decent price.

Went for the weekend to shop the outlets with my wife. Rooms looked very nice online. Not even close when we got here. Dirty is all I can say. Stay at the holiday inn or the steamboat

I stayed at this hotel on last weekend. The rooms are very dated. The tvs are not even flat screen. There were only two towels in the room and house keeping only pulled the covers over the bed instead of making it. The worse thing that happen was in the midst of being between two rooms I left my wedding ring in one of the rooms. I went to the front desk bc I know housekeeping should have turned it in but they didn’t. A day later the front desk had me walk around to track down house keeping to ask them about it. After walking around the property trying to find them, which I don’t think I should have had to do, the house keeper had my ring in her hotel room in which she lived. She had every intention on keeping my ring. Worse stay ever.

When we checked in, the room was filthy. There was poop on the toilet seat, the sink was dirty, the room was never vacuumed, dust everywhere. We alerted the front desk and they assured us the room would be cleaned. When we returned 2 hours later it was still not done. We complained to the clerk, who argued with me that he has personally cleaned it. I took him to the room to show that the room wasn’t cleaned. He insisted that he had cleaned the room until I showed him the poop. At that he stated that he had not cleaned it, told me that housekeeping would come back the next day, and told me I would have to deal with it.
My wife ended up cleaning the room herself.
The next day we spoke with management who assured me we would be refunded through Expedia which they have since denied.
In fairness, the district manager was very helpful and is working on taking care of it.
However, buyer beware that the rooms are unsanitary!

Planned on 2 nights. Stayed only 1. Made reservation MANY months ago but got stuck with room right off main highway so noise was horrible. Room was dark, dirty, stained, outdated striped carpet on floor, bed lines didn’t fit bed — you could literally see the mattress and the sheets were so wrinkled that it looked like someone had just slept on the bed and the maid service didn’t bother to put clean ones on. Same comment as other reviewer — hard, old fashioned toilet seats, old plastic tubs, and only 1 towel per person! Whole thing gave me the Heebie-​jeebies. Best part of the room was a large, flat screen TV mounted to the wall, but even then you had to sit on the end of the bed in order to change channels because the signal from the remote to the TV didn’t work unless you were right up close. Hotel needs a major upgrade.

I dont really stay in too many 3 star hotels — but must say, this place was clean, the people were very nice, the breakfast was exact same as any other marriort or fairfield Inn… beds worked, got a pillow — went to sleep — no, doesnt have marble on the floor, or carvings on the walls — but if you want clean, safe, reasonable cost place to sleep — this works !!!

I’m stood at this discussing hotel and never again. I paid $ 78 which is not bad. As I walk in the rm it look descent and it was, when I fell asleep… BED BUGS EVERYWHERE they were on both bed and on the walls. I went to the desk and demanded a another rm. then he never said sry but now gave me a smokers rm. I have asthma so that won’t work. Sleeping in the car was the best option considering that I needed sleep. all other hotels were book oh and I didn’t get my money back. Still waiting in the manager to call back. Ps I was going to my Grandmother funeral the next day. Pls DONT STAT HERE…

It’s a Red Roof Inn, what do you expect?
We stayed here with a group to see the latest play at Sight & Sound. This Red Roof Inn is actually better than some low-​end Marriott’s I’ve stayed at, but it is still a Red Roof Inn.
When we arrived at the hotel, the first thing that greeted us was a rather large shirtless man with his gut hanging over the second floor rail. He leered at us as we walked from our car to the lobby, while he puffed on his cigarette. This didn’t endear the ladies of my group with the hotel. Thankfully, we were given rooms on the opposite side of the building away from our leering friend. Later we found out, that all the rooms are no-​smoking, so you end up coming around corners of the building and getting hit with a huge clouds of cigarette smoke from people lighting up outside.
The room was a standard with two double beds, microwave and frig. I was surprised to see they had an in-​room safe, but I didn’t bother to use it. They still were using CRT TVs here, so no flat screens. The worst part of the room are the bathrooms. The tubs are all plastic and dated. The toilets are small with child-​like potty seats. The A/​C was better here than in most every fancy hotel I stayed at in San Francisco. If you like it cold in room, you’ll love their A/​C.
All the rooms have external doors, so you hear all the activity going on outside your room. Children would run up and down the second floor balconies and inside their rooms, so you could hear the BOOM BOOM BOOM of every step they would take. However, the walls weren’t thin, so you couldn’t hear your adjacent neighbors, but you could hear every step your neighbor above you.
In typical Red Roof Inn style, the patron’s were the most amusing thing. A family from New Jersey were loading up their van to leave. Rather than walk their belongings from the 2^nd floor down to the parking lot, they started dropping luggage and bags over the railing to a waiting family member. Every morning, we would hear a hotel guest yelling down to a family member, «Are you ready?» BOOM! As a piece of luggage or bag would be dropped to the ground.

The service was nice, the rooms were really clean and for the price (under 40 bucks on Priceline) it was well worth the price. Wifi was free and worked great and for a place to lay your head for a night, we had no complaints.

I stayed here October 16, 2012. I woke up in the morning, opened my bathroom door and was hit by a terrible stench. I looked in the bath tub and their was sewage in the tub. I quickly dressed and left. I went down to the front desk and told the clerk, I even showed him a picture. He took 20% off of my bill saying he couldn’t do more, but he would tell the manager who would call me. Never heard from the manager. By the way, I stayed here two weeks before Hurricane Sandy, so that cannot be used as an excuse.
