The room smelled like smoke. When I was reassigned to a different room, that room also smelled like smoke. The new room also had a toilet that was very difficult to work with, and the shampoo dispenser was empty. The floor also had a lot of sand on it, so it was hard to walk around without socks on (e.g., after a shower). The grounds of the motel were also very noisy the entire time of my 2-day stay. I am removing this motel from my list of economy motels to consider staying at next time I come to the Buffalo area.

The floor was so dirty it turned my socks black. The bathtub was dirty. There were no cups in the room, and no hangers for clothing. The towel bar was missing, and the bathroom door looked like someone had tried to kick their waythroigh it. It snowed while we were there, and very little salting of the pavement was done. I was awakened one morning by pounding on my door. I was told to love my car because they were repaving. There is no reason why they could not have put a sign out or blocked the area with cones the night before so that no one would park there. I did not appreciate being awake Ed like that.

We arrived at 340pm. He made us stand in the lobby for 40 minutes before finally giving us our room number. Just for us to be told once he gave it to us it will be a few more minutes. We finally got in room, started to unpack before my girlfriend discovered the tub was full of dirty water, dirty towels and used soaps out. I went and said someone to front desk about cleaning the room for us and he cancelled our stay. Completely uncalled for. Horrible experience!!! He made Red Roof and your app look bad(and I normally love your app). Had to rush trying to find another room and just barely got a room and got to our show on time. Cost me a lot more for the room we found cause last minute. Though I will continue to use your app, still a very bad experience.

The “hotel” was desolate, run down, dilapidated and scary. Kids running amuck unsupervised, entire windows missing from some rooms and others had people hanging out the windows smoking. Police showed up while we were checking in, someone had called 911. Then gave us a “room” right next to the rowdy kids when it appeared to be mainly empty except some people living there. Didn’t even stay just drive away and got a room at a better place. Do not recommend at all. Waste of my money and time. Awful

My stay at the Red Roof Inn Plus+ was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The property appears to double as public housing, and it was noisy both day and night, making it impossible to get any rest. The housekeeping practices were unacceptable. I witnessed the housekeeping cart tip over into brown dirt outside. Instead of discarding the towels, the staff simply shook them off and continued using them in guest rooms. When I returned to my room later, my “clean” towel was brown from the dirt. Completely unsanitary. The front desk attendant showed no interest in being attentive or helpful. It was clear he was just going through the motions of a job he didn’t want. To make matters worse, at night he joined a group of friends hanging out in front of the motel, laughing loudly and taunting residents. It was uncomfortable and unprofessional.

This is a hotel that houses those who are unhoused. It should not even be on the Expedia website. It’s completely misleading. If corporate reads this, you really should take it off as an option for Expedia. We drove around the property in disbelief and left. I canceled immediately.We were fortunate enough to find another hotel that night, but highly inconvenient for us. From now on when I see a two start rating I’ll believe it. I had no idea what to expect on this one, I thought maybe a little bit older in the building but not what it is in reality.

Damaged and Dingy

This room had damage to walls, doors, furniture. The carpet felt grimy and gross. There was almost an inch gap under the exterior door - a mouse wouldn’t even need to crouch down in order to walk in. My husband and I needed a last minute place to stay for just a few hours to catch some sleep. We almost left when we saw the condition, but the bed seemed clean enough and we were too exhausted and already out the money. I would never stay here again though. Needs major work. 125 for the stay was way too much for the condition.
