Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Washington DC - Alexandria

Most Red Roof Inns are pretty bare bones and “dives” and while this one did have a fridge and a microwave, it fell in line with the typical Red Roof Inn experience. While the rooms were non-smoking and signs were up to smoke at least 25 feet from the building. There were a number of people smoking right outside their doors and the overall stench outside was a mixture of smoke, trash, and urine. The elevator was equally foul in smell. Our room was pleasant compared to the outside but did have a hint of mildew. The AC was on constantly and loud but drowned out outside noise. The room was cooler than the 90 degree outside but the humidity level was quite high in the room and the room temperature felt warm despite constant AC. The AC control knob was broken and there was no way to make it turn to a different setting. The TV remotes didn’t work and it took a while to find the power button on the back of the TV. The three days we were there, we never received any room cleaning. Ice machine wasn’t working but finally did with half way into the stay. Overall, it was workable but definitely not a place I would highly recommend. Serves the purpose in a pinch but not a place I would want to spend a lot of time at.

Room was ok

Not enough bed sheets or towels.

I don’t really have a lot of opinion in one way or the other about this place. I did not like the water pressure in the shower, but otherwise really it was fine. I had a flight get canceled because of a storm so this was kind of a last-minute booking for me That was inexpensive and near the airport in Washington DC.

I thought it was clean and safe.

Great check in. Room is nice.
