Red Roof Inn Columbus - Taylorsville

We traveled to Franklin, IN for the solar eclipse as did many others and opted to stay at the Red Roof Inn simply because it was the least expensive of all the lodging options in the area and I couldn’t stomach paying $500-600 for a single nights lodging elsewhere. That said, I expected to get what we paid for. The room itself was minimally stocked with towels, washcloths, etc. and offered little else. It looked like it hadn’t been updated in about 15 years or more. The linens on the bed had a funky smell and required me to spray my husband’s cologne on them just so I could get past it and fall asleep. I was hesitant to walk on the floors without my shoes on. However despite the less than ideal room conditions, the bed was amazingly comfortable!

No hand rails on either side of the only 2, very steep, wooden plank steps to the second floor rooms. I have never seen any stairs without hand rails in this modern safety era of OSHA. I do not believe their stairs are legal! I will never stay here again!

The Red Roof Inn was "nothing fancy" but it was perfect for my purposes. The check in person was friendly and helpful, recommended the restaurant next door which was reasonable and excellent. My dog was welcome too - hospitality staff was friendly. Room was clean, location convenient.

The front desk gentlemen. Actually stayed in the room next to ours. Kept asking friends during the eclipse if they were staying in our room. Actually took 50.00 after check out when clearly we cleaned the room stripped the beds took out trash to make sure it was clean. Room was just not been up kept had a musty smell beds were uncomfortable staff was rude very nosey and stopped and watched up unload the car. Watching my kids and staying in the room next to ours in the dark i was very creeped out by this man's and his staff behavior. It was only place not sold out during the eclipse and now i see why. But stealing 50.00 from me by knowing there was no damage or anything done to that room was a low move especially when we just spent 700.00 with you!! I pray for people like you 🙏

Easy check in

Rude staff made me leave before my room was even checked out.

the bed in our room 209 was not comfortable was up and down all night

Easy and quick check in helpful and friendly staff

Not good at all. Room was actually not very clean; floors and table top surfaces were sticky; furniture was stained; tub leaked; coffee pot was not cleaned…old grounds inside. Loud traffic noise.

GOOD
