Comfortable place
The location of the hotel seemed to be a nice area. The room was clean and the bed was so comfortable. I didnt realize the standard king dosent come with a microwave or refrigerator, so that kinda sucked. Room service only came when you asked for it. My entire experience was pretty good.

In town for The Game
Not sure what the extra amenities were, we got the upgraded bedding & snack rooms. Decaf coffee, mini-fridge & microwave. Bedding didn’t seem upgraded beyond simple hotel sheets, blankets, & pillows. Room was clean but a number of spots in the room could use repaired and repainted.
Overall though a satisfactory stay, will probably stay again.

Nasty hotel.
So dirty. Mold coming down from the walls. Nobody came and brought us clean towels. We had to go get our own toilet paper. It was the worst hotel I’ve we’ve stayed in.

Good stay
It was a fun stay. The Red Roof inn is very close to Ohio Stadium. This is the reason we picked it. It is basically a 2 star hotel if that. The staff was kinda friendly. Room was clean, but in need of a huge makeover.

Suitable-Upcharged?
This was our second time staying here. Disappointed that it cost $60.00 more than booking price online. I realize that fee and taxes are added but that was too much. Otherwise it was suitable.

Mold and uncomfortable beds
People were friendly, but room was gross. Mold on ceiling of bathroom. Shower curtain wouldn’t close so water got everywhere on the floor and walls outside shower.
Beds were very uncomfortable with springs making noise when you moved.
Paid almost $300 per night for this.

Tee
After picking up my key to my room. On the corridor were 2 women and a man sitting right on my path to my room on the corridor drinking and doing their own thing. The room itself is small. The bath is the smallest I have seen in any hotel room. The place is more of a motel than a hotel. No breakfast service and the place is full of people I can't describe. I didn't feel comfortable a bit until I checked out the following day. Very terrible place. I will never recommend this to anyone except if you are on a very tight budget you can't find any alternative.

Columbus Trip
I had an amazing time! The check-in and check-out processes were efficient. However, my room had a few issues. Some outlets didn't work properly, and my plug would fall out. Additionally, some items in the room need maintenance, such as a bent lamp and torn wallpaper. I received only one regular coffee instead of two, and the TV setup was confusing. On the positive side, the hotel is in an excellent location and provides good value for the price. And the bed was super comfy. I did encounter a problem with my key, but the front desk promptly addressed it. Would recommend staying here when visiting Columbus!
