We arrived and early and couldn’t check in. They kept our bags for us. The room was clean and the price was right. It was close enough to Howard University and that’s what we were there for. In and out.
I like everything in this hotel, was safety, clean room, good location, nice staff and very good price. If I will need room in Washington DC, I will go to Red Roof. Thank you !!!

It was okay, sheets were not clean. They had small hairs on them. Blankets were super thin.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The floor and sink was dirty. 20mins walk back and forth to the train station. No breakfast, only coffee before 9am. Yes you can smoke good thing but overall, never again.
I did not like the evening staff when i checked in. I asked a question about how my information was kept and he was "annoyed". In this time of identity theft i want to ensure or at least minimize that my information is secure!!!
