Red Roof Inn

My company booked this place for me to stay while I was in town for training. I was a little disappointed at first when I pulled in but that quickly changed when I got out of my car. The office staff were very friendly and courteous. The housekeeping staff works incredibly hard. My room, albeit small, was immaculate. I stayed for 3 nights and every time I entered my room, all I could smell was CLEAN. No mold, no mildew and ABSOLUTELY NO STINK! They run that laundry, it seems, ²⁴⁄₇. Seeing as I was only there to sleep, I was very pleased with my accommodations. There is a shopping center right next door with everything you may need as well as a gas station. It had a king size bed that was PERFECT for my horrible back and the water pressure in the shower would have made Lyndon B. Johnson proud. All in all, a wonderful stay. I would highly recommend this hotel for the stopover traveler!

Stayed here while in town for my sons hockey tournament this past weekend. I booked my room using
and after reading the reviews, I was a bit worried. Fortunately the reviews didn’t fit my experience at all. Front desk people were friendly and courteous. The room itself, although a bit small, was exceptionally clean. Being i was only looking for a place to basically sleep, the size of the room was no issue; the bed was king size and comfortable.

I will always stay at a red roof inn while traveling with my dogs, fortunately ive always stayed in their premium rooms, but opted for the standard king, that was a mistake. The premium rooms are very spacious with the dogs, the standard not so much. I know now to spend the extra money and get the bigger room, staff was all nice, room was very well kept, indie was nice too, i will stay again, just in a superior room!

Clean quiet room, comfortable bed for a good price. Nicely renovated and no evidence of bugs that a 2012 reviewer reported — thank goodness! Only downside for me was no fridge in my room (only available in deluxe king room apparently). But I would definitely stay here again.

The Red roof in in Laurel has an entrance that will fool most first timers. If you listen to google as you get off the ramp, it tells you it is on the other side of the street, then corrects itseld as you turn and pass the driveway and go into the shell station and find there is no connection and then find it is a two mile two u turn process to try again. Location Location Location, well not this location. The hotel seems like it is for working people that are traveling and it is on the verge of questionable, but lets move forward. The room renovations are very nice and I liked it and came back for a secon night. I slept well and the forest outside my room gave a deer sighting when I left in the morning. this is agood deal in the near DC area. The desk staff is friendly and it is a well stocked room. I would go again and I did!

For the price (check
) this was an excellent deal. The rooms are newly renovated and very clean. It is a motel, so I recommend requesting a room on the second floor or higher (for safety reasons) and it isn’t in the nicest area of town, but we did not feel unreasonably unsafe. In fact, the motel was fairly average. Nothing too good and nothing too bad.
We felt like the housekeeping staff was excellent. They were efficient and effective, and worked with our erroneous schedule and frequent midday returns.
For a motel, you could do worse. And for the price, you probably couldn’t do much better.

Good bang for the buck. Stayed 2 nights in April of 2014 and things were fine. I was concerned with all the negative reviews on Unilocal but also looked on tripadvisor etc and I think there has been some remodeling since all the bad reviews. At night there was a security guy in car and things were fine. I’ve traveled the globe and stayed in dozens of the finest hotels and resorts and have reasonable expectations for a red roof type place. Clean bed and shower and place to sleep for very reasonable price.

For me, most EVERYTHING rides on the front desk staff. I was running a little late today but called ahead and things went smooth when i arrived. I was helped by Kamisha (spelling ?) at the front desk. She was GREAT; friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful even when suggesting area places to eat. I just wanted to check-​in and take the time to show appreciation for the Red Roof Inn and staff. Tks.

This was a surprisingly nice motel with EXTREMELY pleasant and accommodating staff. My partner and I stayed at the Red Roof Inn after deciding to go on a spontaneous adventure to see the sights of D.C. We got a great deal on the room through the Expedia phone app as we were driving up, the day of. A big bonus was being able to keep our dog with us at no extra fee, as well as the free wi-​fi. The rooms had been recently re-​done and were much nicer than we expected. The laminate floors were a nice surprise. Our only (very very minor) issue was the shower was ridiculously strong, it felt like getting beat up by water! We mostly laughed about that, though. The bathroom door would also not close which would have been awkward for anyone else but a couple. All else was fine and we couldn’t be happier with the price we paid to see D.C. We would definitely stay here again.

I’m only giving one star because I can’t give ZERO. What a dump. Only stay here if you like finding used condoms under your bed, an infestation of stink bugs, and overflowing toilets.

Time to post an overdue review…
I’m sorry Red Roof, had there not been the issue noted below, I would give a solid 3 stars. Read on…
I was in town for a long weekend, just needed an inexpensive room with a decent bed and a hot shower, so chose this Red Roof Inn. When I arrived, honestly I was expecting something a little newer, nicer, like other Red Roof’s I’ve stayed in. I guess this is an older property.
The STAFF: Both checking in and out went smoothly and the person assisting me was nice enough.
THE ROOM: Pretty standard economy motel fare, right in line with other Red Roof Inns, Motel 6′ etc. The room was clean, decent considering the price and about what I expected. I had no problem accessing the free Wi-​Fi after getting the access code from the front desk.
However, (If small children are present, send them away now) there was an infestation of some sort of small roach or water bug (?). They were all over the walk ways, exterior walls, windows, doors, etc, especially so on one side of the building. I get to my room, open the door and… Gee, didn’t know I’d be sharing my room! The little buggers were also in my room on the walls and ceiling! Eeek! I turned around and went back to the front desk. They gave me a room on the other side of the building… much less of a «bug» problem there.
THE LOCATION: Right off 295 (the Baltimore — Washington Pkwy) on Laurel Bowie Rd and was easy to find. There’s a small strip mall next door with a grocery store, liquor store, laundromat, Post Office, etc. I didn’t have any concerns about the parking lot or my car (as another Unilocaler says he did) and I never felt uneasy about the area.
OVERALL: This location seemed to be OK and was what I wanted, a low cost room for a couple nights. If I were to go back to that area I would stay somewhere else, only because of the bug problem. If they took care of that I’d have no problem staying here again.

This place was close to Washington and we stayed there 5 years ago. How the times have changed, The place reeked of pot smoke and there were hookers in and out of the rooms all night. It must have become some sort of welfare home because families were living there. My second and last night I was woken up by the pimp next door screaming at his girl for not making enough money, he needed to pay for the room and feed her F*^&ing kid who cried in the background. No place to eat near hotel except a Dominos type pizza place and a Chinese restaurant that the Maryland board of health has yet to discover. On a bright note, no one in our group was killed, maybe because of the constant police presence in the parking lot. DO NOT STAY HERE.

What a complete dump! There was a very, very nice woman who checked us in, different from the utter moron who took the reservation, and the nights staff (good Lord, they should be arrested on site), but she was the only thing remotely good about this filthy and dangerous failure.
The final straw (besides fearing for my car which I ended up parking in the mansion across the road, after guys were roaming the parking lot breaking into cars and filling their backpacks with the contents), was they have a big sign saying «free WiFi.»
LIE! They don’t give it to you if you have a two bed room (you know, like business colleagues have? People who NEED the internet?). Like it costs them anything? They have to deny you WiFi??? (I’m still here, posting via cell phone).
Do like EVERY other reviewer asks, please, and NEVER stay here, or live (maybe) to rue the day. I agree with the other poster, the place should be condemned. I’d call the cops on the joint, but it is obvious they avoid the place like it’s radioactive. I’d be safer and happier in a prison. NEVER COME HERE! That is all …

For starters, the grounds were not very well kept, AT ALL! The person behind the counter was on the phone and totally disinterested in helping us out when we checked in, the room was way overpriced for what we got. The linens were questionable at best, the room was not very clean and we didn’t even use the showers or bathroom as they were so nasty. The carpet looked ratty and gross as if it had NOT been vacuumed in years and smelled like marijuana (which was not ours), we actually found used condoms and q-​tips under the bed and behind the nite stand (which are probably STILL there as they also were not ours) the neighbors were loud and unruly, we got NO sleep that nite and promptly checked out the next day, post-​haste and with the quickness!
But wait a minute, the saga continues! To make matters worse, I inadvertently left my telephone charger plugged up behind the nite stand, which was accompanied by beer bottle caps, cigarette butts and what looked like particles of food left behind by previous unfortunate, weary travelers that chose this hole in the wall to stay in out of sheer desperation. We had not even been out of the room for an hour when I called back requesting my charger. I was shocked and in awe as I was told by the person that answered the phone that «the housekeeping staff thoroughly cleans and checks for items left behind by guests and that no chargers had been turned in by the staff!», after the experience I had at this health hazard of a hotel the night before!
Upon requesting if the room could be checked again for my charger, the request was declined by the RED ROOF INN employee that I spoke to so being in the DC-​area from Atlanta on business, of course I needed my phone so I had to go through the extra added expense of spending an unnecessary $ 40 to replace a perfectly good charger all because I opted to stay at motel hell better known as RED ROOF INN 160 — LAUREL, MD LOCATED AT 152 525 LAUREL-​BOWIE RD, LAUREL, MD, 20 708! I WILL NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN, THE PLACE SHOULD BE CONDEMNED AND WISE TRAVELERS WILL DO BEST TO AVOID THIS PLACE AND OPT FOR THE MOTEL 6 LOCATED ONE EXIT UP @ 3510 OLD ANNAPOLIS RD., LAUREL, MD.
