Red Roof Inn Akron

Nothing to rave about. Had to wait until 6:45 to check in. However, it was a very busy day weekend with activities in the area. Also key card didn’t work second day and was reprogrammed. Staff was friendly, bed comfortable, lots of shopping and restaurants close by. Cheapest I could find for the weekend. Don’t like giving $100 deposit up front when checking in. They said I’d get it back in 7-10 days after check out. Maybe this is normal now days?

Room wasnt ready when I arrived at 8 p.m. so have me a different type of room. Someone barged in the room around 11 p.m. because of the front desk giving them a key. Some sketchy things going on in and around the property in regard to some of the guests or people hanging around the property. Your typical lock and load motelsp tread carefully!

Surprisingly had a refrigerator and microwave which was nice, but the floors, fridge, toilet, and bathtub were all dirty or stained. Room smelled like cigarette smoke and now so do all my belongings. Another in the lobby complained of non draining bathtub. Key stopped working and lobby was locked with no attendant mid-day. Bad area in general-felt unsafe.

Outside was a little sketchy, the smell of weed in the middle of night walking to the room was not pleasant, and the hidden fee of a security deposit charged and still waiting for a refund as the man at the desk said it comes back . Room was surprisingly modern and pretty clean

Cleaning staff particularly a very sweet woman by the name of Minnie was very kind and helpful!!

While the room itself was okay, the hotel property is dingy and dirty. The staff needs customer service training. They are argumentative and excuse makers. I got the impression that they did not want to rent rooms.

As soon as we showed up, the man seemed pleasant and gave us the key. We opened the door to our room and it smelled like dog pee. I went down to enlighten the clerk on the situation, and he made me walk the entire perimeter of the building with him looking for a room. There were no rooms available, so we left.

The smell/odor of the room upon immediately entering

To Whom It May concern: I was a guest at this hotel from June 27th-30th. I reserved 4 rooms for me and my family. And I have to say, I don’t know where to start. This was the absolute worst hotel experience that I have had in the past few years. When we arrived after a 7 hour trip, the electricity was off and we were unable to check in. At that point the staff member on duty showed us the available rooms. This took about 30 minutes because the rooms being shown reaked of smoke smells and pets. It was not pleasant at all. For the amount of money I spent at this location, a better product should have been produced. The pictures on line, in no way or fashion matched in person. That in itself is a high level of deception and thats not cool at all. There was a high level of prostitution going on, in addition to drugs being sold on the premises. There were also guest living there that continuously had their dogs off the leash. The levels were not well lit, which causes another safety issue. The biggest safety issue that occured is the roof partially caving in on the odd side of where the rooms are. I’m not sure how this location is allowed to be open with so much stuff going on. There were also police that had to post up in the parking lot to ensure that nothing goes on during the night.

The property shows some wear, but not enough to be concerning. Location next to a Walmart, an IHOP, and a Staples store is convenient. I was there on a Friday and Saturday night. A police car sat at the entrance to the property both nights. My room was clean and comfortable. I would stay there again.
