Red Roof Inn Washington DC - Columbia/Fort Meade

The room wasn’t ready an hour after their posted check in time. We needed to change, freshen up to go to a party. When we returned at 10:30 pm to check in, we had to wait for somebody to get to the desk. After unpacking the car and getting ready to sleep, we discovered the toilet would not flush!!!

The room was clean after, I had to upgrade. The bed was not as comfortable as I expected it to be or looked in the pictures provided by the facility.

I really was okay, with the place for the rating for this facility. Only stayed there to sleep for a few hours, so it was affordable.

Office chairs are pretty old, but overall everything is great.

There was a ton of car traffic in and out with no one ever going inside. There were several aggressive dog staying there. I had my show dogs with me and they were almost attacked by a dog that was standing by the front door. I had requested a ground floor room due to a knee replacement but they did not hold one for me and the elevator was not working. Very strong smell of weed everywhere. Room was clean, the bed was terrible, and the shades did not keep out much light.

The staff was very nice and accommodating.

The room was rather small

Nothing

Bad smell

I stayed here for work travel while in Columbia. You get what you pay for, which is my best takeaway. The front desk staff were kind. However, the whole property reeked of weed, with a very mildewy/musty room smell (lingered on suitcase and clothing for 2 days). I believe some people are motel residents who loiter around the property. I’d recommend spending a little more if it's within your budget to stay elsewhere because the property photos and description are pretty misleading.

Great place to stay if you have to go to Baltimore hospitals
