Overview

The Red Roof Inn Wilmington, NC, receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many guests citing significant cleanliness issues. Recurring complaints include dirty rooms, unpleasant odours (urine, mildew, cigarette smoke), and a generally unclean condition of the bathroom facilities and common areas. Reports of drug activity in the parking lot and concerns about safety, particularly for solo female travellers, further detract from the guest experience. While some guests mention friendly and helpful staff, and find the accommodation adequate for a short stay, these positives are heavily overshadowed by pervasive issues of cleanliness and safety.

I bought the rooms sight unseen and immediately regretted it driving up. I’d not stayed at a red roof inn before so I probably should have known better. The first thing I noticed was the smell of urine outside my door and it being in a neighborhood on a busy highway with shady characters roaming the streets. I just didn’t feel comfortable traveling alone as a woman and left. I booked a best western down the road which even though was in an urban area was a bit more off the busy highway and less stranglers nearby.

The entire room was dirty. Smelled like spoiled eggs and mildew. Drug activity in parking lot. Bed sheets were not clean. Floors were so dirty my shoes were black. Overall a horrible experience and unhealthy.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, however, our room was dirty with hairs on the toilet seat, mold in the bottom side of the mattress that stunk up the entire room, and workers that were staying here on business (while we respect traveling for work, have some respect for those that aren’t). These guys were hanging out in the parking lot drinking beer, yelling, and working on their cars right outside our door. The stay was fine for one night, but wouldn’t return.

The outside walk way had A/C condensation running across walkway producing green algae at every room. The pool water and area was disgusting. The water looked green and oily. The trash cans were over flowing along with the cigarette buckets they leave outside the rooms. The front end service was the best thing about the place. Spend $50 more a night and go somewhere else! Oh and lets not forget about the addicts begging for money in the parking lot.

I didn’t feel safe here at night as a solo female traveler. The number of security cameras, alarming signs at the front desk and men just smoking outside and watching you will make that pretty clear. One waved at me and tried to follow me towards me car, I drove away asap. Don’t look at the pool unless you want to be disgusted. The furniture was also damaged and falling apart inside the rooms. The location is this hotel is also across the street from a hooters and a smoke/vape shop, for context. My room smelled so badly of smoke I almost decided to forgo all my money and go elsewhere. However the front desk guy was nice and very helpful!

Clean, somewhat spartan accommodations adequate for the purpose. For beach goers, particularly on weekends, it is far better to simply book an Uber to take you to the beach as beach parking during the day is non-existent.

Filthy & stinky bathroom with brown scum in tub and toilet, which was not cleaned for the second night. Door had wide gap open to bugs, heat, light and noise. Phone wasn't plugged in, nor the alarm clock. The orange juice machine tasted foul. Front desk agent was away long enough for me to let down two folks looking for a free cigarette, and saw a couple come in and leave to find lodging elsewhere. If I recall correctly their health rating was around 93. I emailed Red Roof last week but have yet to receive a reply. I am a budget traveler, but will spring the extra $10 to upgrade elsewhere from now on until Red Roof responds. When they do I will update this review, having re-visited to see for myself.

I might actually be being a little lenient with mostly "2s", but there WAS a roof over our head and the heat worked on a COLD night and it was CHEAP. However, the wireless didn't work, the television didn't work, the cold water in the sink didn't work. The room showed detritus along the edges, clearly not having been cleaned and my non-smoking room STANK of cigarette smoke, with many cigarette burns around the bathroom. Water leaked into the carpet of the bedroom from the shower... and thankfully we travel with earplugs....
