Pros (+) Everything!!
Pros (+) We were visiting for our daughters College Graduation. Lodging was limited in the area. The Red Roof Inn had the room availability at a VERY REASONABLE overall average daily rate. Upon arrival we noticed a great deal of construction going on at the property as well as next door. The desk clerk was very helpful and polite. Another staff member was working to assist a customer who had been staying t...
Cons (-) * The odors in the hall (I think years of smoke) * Pillows were very small and flat (almost like throw pillows) * Room was clean yet a little "funky" * This was a "suite", but you could really only view TV from bedroom area (room divided by 7/8th wall the hid bed from couch * Pool area not opened (due to construction - assuming will reopen) * Room was sparse and had aging furniture that has seen b...

Cons (-) We have stayed in worse hotels… But we can't remember when. The hotel is rundown, worn and houses many long term section 8 residents. There are many better hotels near the University of Delaware and we only booked this one as we needed a large number of rooms for graduation and no other hotels were available. Given the opportunity, I would choose just about any other hotel over this one
Pros (+) The price was good.
Cons (-) Housekeeping needs to take more time and making sure the room is clean, behind the ded was hair and a booger on the wall it felt stuffy and damp, the price was good but won't go again the room number was 142
Cons (-) Sign on door asking people to take off scarves and other materials covering their faces- made me feel unsafe.
Pros (+) The location
Cons (-) Breakfast really not much of a one. Waffle is only hot food offered. We brought our own bananas to have with cereal at breakfast. Two cereals were offered both high in sugar. Wallpaper was coming down in our room, beds were poorly made. Hotel is very worn and needs some money put into it.
