Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

BUG INFESTED! Do not spend your money here! Regrettably, our recent stay at the Red Roof Inn was marred by numerous concerns, most notably a severe infestation of bugs. Despite our last-minute reservation for a celebratory dinner, the state of the room was alarming. While we understand that Red Roof Inn is generally a budget-friendly chain, we have stayed with them on multiple occasions without encountering such issues in the past. Although the staff member who checked us in was pleasant and efficient, the condition of the lobby should have been a warning sign, as it appeared unkempt and poorly maintained. Upon entering the room, we were met with blood-stained pillowcases, burn marks on the tub, rust on the fixtures, and overall filthiness on the walls and floors. It was evident that basic cleanliness standards had not been met for quite some time. The presence of bugs, bloodstains, and linen stains was particularly alarming. Another reviewer had previously mentioned the infestation roughly a month ago, and unfortunately, I must confirm their observations. I strongly urge the health department to conduct a thorough investigation of this property. In addition to leaving this review, I will be contacting corporate as well as the Department of Business and Professional Regulation to address these issues. Please see attached photos for further evidence of the unacceptable conditions we encountered The cleaning team, management, and the franchise owner need immediate restructuring and retraining.

The location of the hotel is convenient and close to alot of shopping and restaurants just a few minutes drive away. However, I would not stay here again. I think this is the last Red Roof I am staying. The room was dirty, old and needs alot of work. I was on the 2nd floor and the toilet did not flush properly. The bath stopper only stays down, so we had to use the small shampoo bottle to hold it in. Despite the issue, a clean room would have been good. There was someone nail clearly clipped and still by the bedside table; furnitures were rusting and need some dusting and roaches..lots of roaches that came out during the night. Management needs to take better care of the property, as it has alot of potential.

This property may be a Red Roof Inn, but I hope they stop claiming it. You expect a certain level of cleanliness and customer service from Red Roof Inn. You won't get it at this hotel. We checked in at 1:00. The desk clerk argued with me that check- in is at 3:00. That may be so, but their website said you will be charged a $20.00 fee to check in before 1:00. Our room was on the third floor, which was great, and they do have an elevator. We entered the room and put our bags down. The first thing I noticed was the horrible condition of the lamp on the desk. It was scratched, rusted, corroded, and dirty. I didn't want to touch it. The desk chair was tattered and dirty. My husband went into the bathroom only to find there was no toilet paper... NONE! He had to go find a housekeeper, who didn't speak English, to ask for toilet paper. There was no refrigerator or microwave in the room. I dropped an ear bud, which rolled under the bed. It was not clean under there, to say the least. The bathroom doot knob was loose and wouldn't latch. The deadbolt on the entry door stuck in the "engaged" position, which wouldn't let the door close at times. There were cobwebs near the ceiling above the entry door. They advertise free breakfast, but there was none. On checkout, the desk clerk, same person as yesterday, was very curt and wouldn't give me a receipt. I do NOT recommend staying at this hotel.

We went to check the bathroom out and as soon as we turned the light on 4 cockroaches were running. I wanted to catch one on camera in case they didn't give our money back. 2 minutes later I opened the door and got a video of it. I'm providing a snapshot of the video. A lot of people were outside for 2:30 in the morning. It was dirty outside, you smelled marijuana...I think they have people renting to live there.

Red Roof Inn Tampa Brandon Tampa DISGUSTING Stay 893933694 This place is a total DUMP. Checked in too late, and hopefully not like you, I did not read the reviews ahead of time. Search here or on their web page for 1 and 2 star reviews and you'll see why. Let me just mirror the many that complained about a filthy room and dirty disgusting sheets. Can't tell when the last time they were washed. Never again at any Red Roof. Stay away. Look at all the low rated reviews and then decide for yourself if you want to roll the dice, especially if traveling with family.

Have been staying at Red Roofs because they are generally clean, comfortable, and dog friendly. This particular Red Roof was not clean. In fact, it was downright dingy! Very small king room. Stains in the sink and tub. Faucet about to fall off in sink. Smelled of marijuana everywhere. To add insult to injury, something was happening in town and the price for this less than stellar room was astronomical!! Will think twice about staying at a Red Roof again!!!
