James Trueman, a builder in the Columbus Area, started Red Roof. Red Roof's first inn opened in 1973 and rates were just $8.50 a night.
Today, Red Roof features over 500 hotels. We are proud of our new rooms and know that you will find them comfortable and welcoming. Red Roof continues to grow and provide new comforts to all travelers, at an economical price. We have been voted #1 in the Economy hotel sector for 2015! We value all of our guests and hope that we can provide a caring, comfortable environment for you.
Just because you're furry, shouldn't mean you have to spend the night in the car. At Red Roof, we do whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable. That's why we invite you to relax with your four-legged family member at over 500 locations. And, unlike other "pet friendly" hotels, there are no additional charges.
When our guests stay at any Red Roof Inn across the U.S., they immediately notice two things: What a great price they're getting for a clean, comfortable room, and how helpful the Red Roof staff is, whether they are giving directions, guidance or just suggestions on what to do that evening. We sum this up as: "Nice place, nice price." That's why your feedback is so important to us. We want to make sure every guest's stay is relaxing, economical, and most of all, that each guest feels welcomed and is helped out by our Red Roof hotel staff.
