I recently stayed at this Red Roof location in DC and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. The room was not very clean, with noticeable odors and an overall lack of freshness. Noise was an issue throughout the night, making it hard to rest. I also felt a bit uneasy, as some of the other guests hanging around the property seemed shady, which gave the place an unsafe vibe. On top of that, basic amenities like shampoo were not provided in the room and only available by request, which added to the inconvenience. Would not recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and secure stay.
