The staff was very friendly. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable; the pillows were very flat. Breakfast consisted of instant oatmeal, dry cereal, or toast/bagels. I would have liked some fresh fruit, a yogurt, or some hard-boiled eggs-something with protein.

The property was in disrepair. The floor in our room was in bad shape. The walls needed to be repainted. The air conditioning barely worked we couldn’t get it cool in our room. We couldn’t get a signal on the tv and when we told the front desk they never came to fix it. The stairwell had loose steps.

Locks were broke on the doors. Floors were in very bad condition. Water damage to flooring and walls. For $60 a night you should still feel safe. I left after being checked in for only 4 hours. Would NOT recommend.

Not The red roof inn

This trip was for my son's orient for college. They say started of great. My husband finally made it into town. He got settled in and then he spotted a bed bed bug. Went to the front desk to let them know, we got another room and guess what? Another bed bug!!!! We requested our money back and these people will not give us our money back. Talking about some rules and regulations!!! What rule and regulations as states that a person doesn't deserve their money back if an establishment has bed bugs!!! The rooms weren't all that anyway. Whatever you do, don't stay at the red roof inn in Bloomington, IL

I was very disappointed in the common reception area. It was very dark and dingy, and the bathroom was out of order the entire time we were there. We were not given any information about the breakfast time schedule, and there was no information in the room about it, or any area restaurants either. I just went there at a reasonable time to see what they had to offer. Breakfast offerings were bread and bagels -with a toaster, juice, coffee, and milk, green bananas and one flavor of yogurt. Oh and two sweetened cereals. Margarine -not butter, peanut butter, cream cheese and two jelly’s were offered to accompany the bread. The refrigerator in the room was not even cool when we opened it up to put our drinks in it, but it did cool down after I changed the temperature setting. Even though my reservation clearly was for two people, it only had towels & washcloths for one person. I have stayed in many Red Roof Inns before, and I can say this one was very disappointing.

3rd time is not a charm... 1st room was awesome... 2nd stay the room was ok... 3rd time around... I had to shove the door open & when closed the door was not sealed on top, there was a hole like it was kicked in by the door, the tub had a really bad black spot in it, the floor was not clean looking the bedspread had stains on it & when complained to staff, their response was very rude. Not staying there again

The man working the front desk was very nice. The hotel looks nothing like the pictures. When we checked into the room the door looked like someone had tried breaking in with a crow bar. The wall was peeling off and the bathtub had black stuff all around on top. I wasn’t comfortable staying there so we left immediately.
