Red Roof Inn Gateway

One word review: grungy. Okay, three words: grungy, worn, overpriced. We stayed here because they take dogs. The hotel is very worn. The rooms are Spartan. The service was friendly, however. The restaurant is so grungy that we don’t want to eat the free breakfast there. For $ 100 a night you can do better.

We stayed with friends in Savannah, in two rooms, 120 and 116, on Jan 14,2016. The staff was pleasant and understanding. We did not have a good experience. I am disabled. The room and hallways were not just dirty but rather filthy. The bathroom was in disrepair. I can deal with disrepair more easily than filth. My wife wanted to immediately change hotels but as I am disabled relocating is no easy task. My wife and friends said never again. This is very bad for Redroof because we will tell everyone NEVER REDROOF! We know a lot of travelers.

Stayed here a night on our way to FL. The online prices looked good so that is a major reason for staying the night. We ended up paying double then what the online price was. The room was not very clean. This is a dog friendly hotel and it was obvious as soon as I walked into the room; it stunk like wet, dirty dog. I get the importance of pet friendly hotels to people, but the hotel should offer rooms that are not pet friendly. Since the room was not very clean my allergies flared up. The staff was nice. The guy that was working when we checked in was very aloof. We needed to do laundry and they don’t have a change machine on the premise. The guy told me to go ask at a nearby hotel or gas station. There is a Travelodge right next door that has an indoor pool and much cheaper. Do yourself a favor and go there

The Good & Bad; Nov 2015. $ 60 two queen beds. Pets welcome with no extra fees. The staff is top notch. Safe area for quick, late night dog walk. Newly remodeled rooms, awesome comfortable pillows & mattresses, large flat screen tv, mini-​fridge. Parking with good lighting. Room presented as very well kept and clean BUT — we were greeted by a few wall walking German cockroaches in the morning! No treads in shower makes for a slippery floor. No, that’s not porn. It’s your neighbors banging. The walls are super THIN. The breakfast is bare bones minimal, no covers for coffee on the go. Lots of nearby restaurants.

This place is not bad at all, especially compared to the last flea bag motel that I stayed in. The lady that made the reservation on the phone was very nice and even gave me a great discount. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the lobby itself looked decent, and even happier to discover a clean room and bathroom. Sheets were clean, everything seemed good. No complaints, perfect place to crash for a couple of days if passing through, and you can’t beat their rates. I would definitely recommend this to people.

We booked very cheap (62 $) during the summer weekend. For the price, we were surprised at how nice it was (no charge for pets! And all pets seemed well behaved. Saw at least 10 dogs, did not smell one and only heard one bark in the afternoon).
Breakfast is minimal with one waffle machine (wait) and boiled eggs (yay), but we were really grateful for that for the price.
Rooms are very clean for what it is and beds were comfy (maybe it was the 14 hour drive beforehand) and quiet. In the morning, it sounded like there was furniture being moved upstairs, but I assume those were odd guests. No hallway or side room noise for us.
It’s right off of i95 and it will be a future stop for us on our next long drive !

Do. Not. Stay. Here.
I booked this hotel for 3 nights, just wanting a decent place to sleep and wifi to work during the day. Unfortunately I could neither sleep nor work here because it is SO loud. The ceilings and walls are paper thin. I was on the second floor (there are 3) and the noises from the floor above me were so loud at all times of the day that I could feel the bed I was laying in move and the room door shake. This was not a one time occurrence, but happened at all hours of my stay. I called the front desk one of the nights while the movement upstairs was shaking my room at midnight, and nothing was done about it. I could have gotten a better night’s sleep in my car in the parking lot, honestly. Even wearing ear plugs, I could literally feel my bed shaking from the excessive and loud movement upstairs. You can hear everything — doors slamming, people jumping, running, walking, PEEING in the toilet above you.
Will never stay here again and super disappointed that I still have one more night here.

Clean room, nice lobby, staff was very friendly. My only complaint would be the state of the shower. The shower was stained, and the shower floor itself seemed to sink in when you step on it. But for $ 100 I had a good night’s sleep and the breakfast in the morning was a plus. Overall I would return again.

Stayed here just for one night. The lady at the front desk upon check in was very nice. I came with my one dog and they gave me a room on the second floor right next to the stairs to the dog area it was perfect and easy to take my dog out. The room was nice and clean. One of the cleaner nicer rooms I stayed in on my trip across country. The staff checking in and out was very friendly. I would come back here again.

My husband and I stayed one night here after a day in Savannah and before heading up to Charleston, SC the next day. We got a pretty good deal on Kayak via
, though the rate of the room on the door was less than what we paid. Still, it was very close to the interstate and some of the cheapest gas stations we saw through the entirety of our trip, as well as a shopping district, which was super convenient as we were up there from Florida where we hadn’t found a good deal on cold weather clothing (wound up finding tons of great deals at the Target down the road). Check in was easy and friendly. Our room was clean and very nice considering this is a 2-​star hotel. TV had a good selection. We did hear some knocking on the walls at night but as we were at the very end of our hallway by a vending area, I imagine it was just the machinery making it’s usual noises… nothing too dramatic that kept us up. Shower water was HOT, which was heavenly, but the towels were quite rough… perhaps I would bring my own from home if I ever stayed here again. Breakfast was perfect, with a waffle iron, mini muffins, toast, cereal and coffee. All in all we had a fine experience here and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

I know they say you get what you pay for but I at least expect clean sheets in a room that costs over $ 90 a night. The room was worst than some $ 10 hostels I’ve stayed in. The room had dirt and grime both on the sheets and in the bathrooms. Even when we were moved to another room because the first was dirty, we were unpleasantly surprised by an old dried up blood stain on the comforter. We told the staff and he was not willing to give us a refund. We had to leave in the middle of the night to find another hotel because this was just unacceptable.

I love it here! Much cheaper than the last place we stayed at and 100x better! We were thankful for a microwave, working refrigerator, clean bathroom with a clean shower that has hot water and water pressure (last place we were was god awful)! I love the desk and office chair in the corner, and the nice TV and comfortable bed. The staff is very friendly, the hotel itself is nice, and I love that there are night stands built in on either side of the bed. Nice to be all the way at the end of the road, too. Gives you a nice feeling of privacy. I’d definitely stay here again and suggest it to anyone who is coming to the Savannah area. Definitely a lot of great places around us, including Cracker Barrel right next door which is my favorite restaurant! Very happy with this hotel!

I was pleasantly surprised. We got our money’s worth. Great for pets too. But keep in mind they will not clean the room if your pet is in there even if they are crated. The maids are Indian and most don’t understand English except Jay. Bring your own towels. Theirs are awful. The first morning I went for breakfast and they were out of coffee and food except for cold cereal. Not all rooms have coffee pots. But there are plenty of restaurants nearby. Pillows and bedding very comfortable. Don’t count on toiletries. Two bars of soap and a packet of shampoo. We stayed on the 3^rd floor at the end. Perfect. Would I stay again? Absolutely! Just giving you a heads up. There is a guy that will try to charge 15.00 a night for your pet. The first pet is free. So make sure they don’t charge you. But it was a great place. We paid 52 – 55.00 per night. So it was a good deal.

The smell of the local «Paper Mill» (is what I was told) woke me up at 4:30am. We had to turn off the AC (in July) because the smell was so bad. You can hear everything in the room above you, so beware. The room was clean, bathroom not so much. The lady at the front desk was very polite. We didn’t get our money’s worth in rest & that’s why you have a hotel to begin with so overall I had to give it 2 stars.

The Hotel looked good while stepping into the front desk. Luggage carts and Elevators make for easy baggage transportation. Though Breakfast isn’t stocked well and the rooms are clean but poorly constructed. The doors did not even fit the door jambs and the walls were thin so privacy might be an issue.
Also there is no smoking in any rooms.

The staff is very unprofessional. The breakfast bar is a joke. I will never return. Two thumbs down.

This place is a 3 at best. I give it 3 for the comfortable beds and nice desk person. There were shady characters everywhere, which I know isn’t the hotels fault… But! Based on the security cameras in the halls I’d day this is a regular occurrence. The walls are thin and there were doors slamming all night. The breakfast was pretty pitiful. At 8 on a Saturday the best they had was some raisin bran. The biscuits were sitting out, no gravy on the table (empty) and a long line at the waffles. For the price I assumed there might be yogurt and fruit… Maybe some eggs? I won’t stop here again. Good proximity to a few eating choices.

They accept pets with no additional fee unless they leave a mess. On a Memorial Holiday weekend and traveling with a pet, I’m grateful. My doggie and I thank Tiffany (lobby worker/​manager) and Red Roof Inn. Free WiFi! Clean and updated room! Clean bathroom! Refrigerator, microwave, and desk with executive chair. On our way back down south, we might stop back here again!

Tiffany at the front desk provided excellent service. She’s hard working and goes over and beyond. Thank you from Palm Coast Fl Girl Scouts!!!

For the price it was fine. The room was bare bones but it was clean and got the job done. My only complaint would be the loud noise the bathroom exhaust made. It sounded like a plane taking off or a food processor breaking stones.
I was really impressed with the service. The front desk was extremely helpful and everyone was friendly. There is free wi-​fi and full breakfast. I’m curious to know why motels can offer free wi-​fi while the Marriott’s and Sheraton’s of the world charge $ 12 /​night.
