Front desk was very nice and helpful. Rooms were small, and also the only motel I've ever stayed at that didn't have a microwave or mini fridge. Location was very convenient, walking distance from Scottenstein center and a Sunoco multiple food establishments neighboring the building.

Our room's phone didn't work. Nor did the TV. They had to switch us to a different room. The first room had a TV and a microwave. The second room did not have either. The toilet seat was broken. The staff for the most part only spoke Spanish. It made it difficult to communicate. We would not recommend this Red Roof. We won't be returning.

First thing I noticed when I went into the room was that the bedding was dirty. I tried calling down to the front desk, three times and none of the calls would go through. I flagged down a housekeeper and was about to give her all the old bedding and asked for just a new blanket and I received one with a massive hole in it. The lights made sounds when turned on, and if you use the heater, prepare for the room to smell like it’s burning. Even though there was a sign that said don’t smoke outside my room, multiple times I would see people through my window smoking with the smell drifting into my room. The door did not fully close into the frame and you hear every single bit of noise coming from outside the room to the parking lot. Often times there would be people screaming at 2 and 4 am and I was not able to sleep the two nights I was there. The towels had stains and one of the wash rags looked like it hadn’t been washed. The bathroom ceiling had black mold and there were numerous bugs I found in my room. I would never stay at a red roof again, this was truly a horrible experience. I’ve been itchy since I left and I hope I didn’t get bed bugs to continue this nightmare stay.

The big positive about this property is it is within walking distance to the buckeyes football games and has a fridge. Other than that, there’s not much to speak about. The rooms are outdated and dirty. Room stunk of funk when we arrived. Had to ask for towels and toilet paper. Bed sheet was dirty. Bed blanket had a cigarette hole burnt in it. This was our second time staying here, the first time I figured it was a fluke, nope, second time was worse. It’s definitely a run down property for a red roof inn plus. But I’m sure they know people will stay there for the ease of walking distance to the games and campus. We had 2 rooms, someone knocked on the room doors at like 3am the first night.

We had to go buy our own toilet paper! They gave us 1 back up and the 1/4 roll that was on the holder. 4 adults. We asked for more and they said they’re out…. Seriously?!
