I wasn't as impressed with this property as I was with the Charleston Red Roof Inn. The room was inside as great as the latter but some holdovers of the old look still remained. There was a old light fixture which was still up but not in use as was the old style closet system which was really ancient-you had to "thread" the hangers thru the holes in the metal tube to hang things up. The outside needed a re-do also but maybe that was due to the location of the hotel. It was far away from everything except gas and a Subway store. To go out for dinner you have drive over 25 minutes to reach the restaurant-rich shopping area. Easy on-off from the highway but a pretty deserted area overall. The other aspects of the room were on-par with other Red Roof Inn hotels and again they are pet-friendly properties which charge no fees. « less

Management response from Ken Vincent, General Manager
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience from your stay with us. . I am very glad you see us as an ‘Excellent value”. Being pet friendly has allowed us to meet some special guests like you. Our new rooms are very nice with the updates and continue to get positive reviews. The easy on and off make us a good location. The limited eateries are hopefully going to grow in the near future, but we are located within 6 miles of some excellent downtown restaurants as well as many favorite chains 6 miles south if you are up for a short drive. Thank you for your comments and recommendation. Have a great spring/summer!

“Not Pet Friendly”

Upon checkout, the woman at the desk had a look of utter disgust on her face when seeing my dog, a Lab-Boxer-Pix mix. He hopped up and wagged his tail and smiled and put his paws on the counter which I immediately corrected him. However this woman JUMPED back and ran as if he had hopped over the counter and mauled her. People should not work at a motel that advertises as pet friendly if they are afraid of dogs. To top if off the room I was told to check into was messy and had sheets and bedding strewn about everywhere. Then I was given a supposedly smoke free room that reeked of smoke next to the front office so I had people coming and going all night. Very, very loud at this motel. Don't go here if you need to sleep. At that point I just wanted to attempt sleep and didn't want to have to go to the front office yet again.
The young lady at check in was very nice however, the only good part of my stay.
This was my 2nd stay at this location and I'll never stay at this Red Roof again, Manager Ken V. sent me a canned response offering me no resolution and a sore excuse for an apology. What a disgrace to Red Roof and definitely does not have the qualifications to run, let alone work at a motel, poor, poor guest relations skills. « less

Management response from Ken Vincent, General Manager
As I stated in my previous emails, We sincerely apologize for the negative experience at checkout. It definitely was not our intention to upset you, just as it was not your intention for your dog to jump up on the counter. We do value you as a customer and appreciate your business. It is our hope that you will accept our apology and give us the opportunity to better serve you in the future.

LOVE this little motel! We came here from NJ to bring a foster dog to her new home and stayed overnight for Mothers' Day. The room is immaculate, the bed is ultra comfy and the value is exceptional. Thank you for helping us get Audrey, our foster dog, off to a good start and thank you for welcoming Junebug, our personal dog, who came along for the adventure! « less

The Red Roof Inn, within two blocks of two other well-known motel chains, was $30 less per night. Expecting fewer comforts for the cheaper price, I was delightfully surprised to find a nicely decorated room with flat-screen TV, stereo system, and very comfortable beds. There was no hair dryer - I always pack my own. No complementary breakfast was offered, but one of the more expensive chains across the street also did not offer breakfast either. Next door to Red-Roof Inn is a Subway that provides breakfast; McDonald's is across the street. Ideal location for anyone traveling I-95 - easy off and on. I definitely will stay there the next time I visit Richmond. « less

Thank you very much for staying with us and taking the time to share your experience. I thank you for your comments and recommendations as our new rooms with the recent updates are getting a lot of positive feedback. Not all the amenities of a full service chain but with a significant savings it does make a “wonderful bargain”. Our easy on and off location makes it stress free to find us and get back on the highway when departing. We look forward to seeing you again on your next trip to or through Virginia. Have a great spring & summer.

“Not all rooms are non smoking, despite claims”

For the price (cheap), I have no real complaints. However, the hotel claims that all rooms are "non smoking" and warns that there is a $200 fine if you smoke. But the first room I was given reeked of smoke. They were very gracious in giving me another room, but it was on the highway side of the hotel and if you are light sleeper (I am not, thankfully) the Indianapolis 500 din from I-95 may be a problem. Also, when the shower was on in the next room (at 6 a.m.) it sounded like Niagara Falls. But the room was cheap and clean and the bed firm. You get what you pay for and in this case the bargain is not bad, if you are careful in room selection « less

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience from your stay with us. I am glad we were able to move you to another room to take care of your quality issue. With the updates to our rooms our goal is to not only meet the guest’s expectations but exceed them. Providing smoke free rooms is our goal so I will revisit our deep cleaning procedures with the staff to make sure we are preventing this in the future. Many guests love our easy access but sometimes I guess that can be a disadvantage, and I apologize for that. I hope you will stay with us again in the future so we can give you 100%. Have a great summer.
