Red Roof Inns

Very pleasant desk man, it’s reasonable, decent and my room was clean. My daughter slept like a baby so that’s all that matters to me

Honestly, pretty decent for a bargain hotel. Due to an emergency, my trip was delayed and I needed lodging in Springfield after midnight. Grabbed the first hotel off of the interstate, which was this one.
The $ 59 room, on the inside, feels like its at a place that charged twice that.
Of course, I did get my keycard through bulletproof glass, so you’ll sleep better if you also have a concealed handgun permit.
If you need a cheap, comfortable place to crash out, the inside of this room looks like any hotel for business travel.

It was the most unpleasant experience I’ve ever had at a chain hotel. JUST DON’T DO IT. Pay the extra $ 10 – 15 to stay somewhere safe and clean. I don’t expect a lot from a value hotel, but general cleanliness and clean sheets shouldn’t be to much to ask for. One star is not low enough!!!
The sheets were not clean and felt like they had not been changed for a while. They didn’t smell clean and were littered in body hair. I arrived late in the evening (around 1230am) and was very tired so I didn’t feel like saying anything until the morning, so I slept on top of the covers.
There were 2 beds in the room and both sets of sheets were equally disgusting. I told the front desk member in the morning, but he said there was no manager on site and seemed genuinely disinterested in what I had to say about my stay.
I’m in the Army and can sleep (and have slept) in some pretty dire situations, but I’m not willing to sleep in dirty sheets littered another persons body hair. The hair was dark and coarse, some were curly. Makes my skin crawl. Additionally, one of the beds sheets were heavily stained brown or yellow. I don’t even want to know what it was.
Finally the bathroom/​sink floor areas was obviously dirty. Something I’m only mentioning because of the sheet situation. The floor was obviously not swept or mopped for some time.

Really sad hotel. I don’t recommend it. My air was not working, the rooms are in bad shape, and while they are starting some renovations, they have a long way to go. The front staff are polite and admit that this is not an ideal situation. All rooms smell like smoke. When I showed the front desk attendant this he shrugged his shoulders and said, «people do it, what can we do?» I recommended some air fresheners and carpet cleaning, along with some fines posted if after checkout there’s evidence of smoke. He just walked away. I’m shocked that red roof inn would accept this and have their brand name associated with it.

Not a place we will ever want to stay again. Almost didn’t the first time! Had major reservations once we pulled into the parking lot. Unfortunately, we had already paid for two rooms and it was late. The photographs I loaded on here speaks for themselves. As we are going across the country, we didn’t feel that our possessions were safe. Cheap rate, but there is a price for safety and security. Paint on the doors were peeling off of almost everyone. There were people wandering around the parking lot and a group of 3 sitting on the pavement in a parking spot were lounging around. As we were on the second floor, there was no elevator, so we used the steps. Room had underlying odor. Maybe it was the guy smoking outside of our non-​smoking room. Remote control did not work, so the manager came by and swapped it out for us. Peeling wallpaper, cuts in the lampshade, smashed door of the microwave, and the front panel of the air conditioning unit falling off made for a memorable visit.

It is what it is. It’s a cheap room suitable for a night or two, if you don’t mind having few amenities. I thought my room was clean and didn’t have bedbug issues. The wifi was indeed weak. The outer appearance of the building was awful. The tube tv was okay. The neighbors were fine. Maybe I just lucked out. I’d stay there again if I needed a cheap room in that area again.

If you’re traveling across the country and you need a place to sleep, but nothing else, then this could be your joint. But if you’re in town for a week, and need a business hotel, stay away from this one.
This was literally the lsat hotel in town with non-​smoking rooms when I got called to Springfield on business. The room stank (I bought Febreze), it had no desk, no gym, the WiFi was horrible, the TV channels fuzzy, and the décor hadn’t been updated in decades. However it was surprisingly clean, the bed was comfy, the A/​C blew cold (though coworkers disputed this in their rooms), the location is good (aka a minute drive to grocery, Kmart, chain restaurants, & the interstate), and the rate was fantastic. So weigh your needs and book accordingly.

Terrible service at from desk. Filthy room. Poor mattress. Lots of highway noise.

Avoid this location! We attempted to stay in this motel because of the low price and because we only needed a room for the night, however we were so uncomfortable that we had to leave and find accommodations elsewhere.
The staff was nice enough, and the quality of the rooms was probably what you would expect from such a cheap motel. Our real problem was with our fellow guests. Upon arriving we noticed the guest in the room next to us BBQing on a small BBQ and drinking beer in the parking lot in front of his room. We didn’t mind this so much until about 5 other guys showed up to party with him. They ignored the hotel staff when asked to bring their chairs back into their rooms. Considering how thin the walls were and the fact that we had all of our belongings in a moving truck outside the room, we did not feel comfortable staying here and risking an incident with these rude and drunk people so we left and found a MUCH nicer room down the road.

We arrived in Springfield, Illinois weary from travel late at night. After a couple dissapointing stops at other motels we chose not to stay in, we were pleasantly surprised to discover the Red Roof was not only very affordable, but even the late night crew was super curteous and professional. The room was very clean and pretty. Even the lady I checked out with in the morning was extremely sweet and helpful. Anyone staying in Springfield, IL should definitely stay here. You get way more than your money’s worth!

I am writing this review in an effort to save anyone that reads this the time and money on trying to stay at this hotel (if I can call it that). My sister booked these rooms, and we had 3 rooms for my family to stay for one night as we drove down to Springfield for a memorial service for my uncle who passed a year ago and the Illinois State fair. We checked in and immediately had to go to the service and spent the rest of the evening at the state fair. We arrived back to the Red Roof to go into the rooms and it was the worst experience I have ever had. The rooms were filthy and disgusting, the bed spreads were dirty one of the beds had blood stains on it and it was to the point that it had been there for a while (the blood was a brownish color). The pillows had dirt caked on, as if the were repeatedly washed but clearly needed to be replaced because they were so dirty. Finally, the rooms had one of the most disgusting smells, almost like something was sprayed on the room to cover up an underlying nasty smell. Aside from that, when we checked in none of the workers were in uniform so I really couldn’t tell who worked there and who didn’t and they weren’t very friendly (not sure how much that matters, but I guess considering everything else this probably has something to do with how they value their work). As I mentioned, this is one of the worst hotel experiences that I have had and I am hoping that I can save others that read this the heartache and time in even considering this hotel. I had to pay up front for all three rooms, and were not aware of how bad this hotel was. However, when I spoke with the manager regarding the experience they were very quick in resolving the issues and reversing the charges since we chose not to stay there (which is the only good thing that I can say about the experience there). I also filed a complaint through corporate hoping that this place will clean up. Hopefully this helps!
