We reserved the room in October 2024. We were there for a nationally advertised hockey game in Ohio Stadium. We arrived at 3:50 p.m. to check-in. The lobby was packed with people like us because the rooms with double beds were not yet cleaned. We were eventually given keys to the room at 5:15 p.m. It was still being cleaned. We almost missed the start of the game. We will never stay at another Red Roof Inn agsin@

Total disrepair

Check in at the desk went well, beyond that the stay was awful. Got to the room and the toilet was clogged. Called down about it, wait about a half hour and a guy handed me a flimsy plunger and walked away. Doors are busted up, everything is stained, beds uncomfortable. Paying more than $200 one night is ridiculous.

My father was in the hospital at OSU and I needed the cheapest closest place. The outside is very old and out dated, inside was remodeled and very nice! Don't let the outside fool you! But.... It was loud at night. Constant traffic to rooms close by. Some rooms seemed to be occupied with people living there. Sketchy people in the parking lot. But no one bothered me, felt safe(ish) and the inside of the room was great!
