Red Roof Inn Orlando - Convention Center/International Drive

Melissa Lloyd

I came here for an AU Volleyball Tournment for my daughter. Looking for an inexpensive but decent stay. I figure Red roof is a chain. It can't be that bad, I thought wrong . I'm in Orlando and everything's expensive. I got a great price but this is absolutely the worst hotel I've ever been in in my entire 44 years of my life. Considering the location, I thought it would be in better condition and maybe I don't have to worry about any drama. I don't know that this hotel has actually been renovated since like maybe the '90s. I have never seen anything like this. It is filthy. It makes you feel disgusting. People live there. Obviously there's going to be roaches aside from whatever other troubles come with people living in a hotel outside selling drugs and what not. The rust in every aspect to me is almost questionable to the point where it looks like the entire hotel has gone underwater at some point. The paint has not been painted. It's chipped in every place possible coming off the walls. I don't even feel like the sheets were changed almost. I did hear a guest come in while I was at the front desk and say that one of his sheets was dirty and one of his sheets was not so I can only assume that he just didn't see dirt because they definitely had not been changed. I had to sweep my own floor. There were no towels in my room upon arrival. When I confronted the front desk. They advised me they provide towels every other day. I had a reservation set up a day in advance for 4 days. I did not receive towels until almost 3:00 in the afternoon the next day. There was no hot water. I definitely do not recommend it, they need to shut this place down. I'm not even sure how this place is passing code. I definitely had to cancel my reservation and was advised that I could not get a receipt upon check out because the computer system was not working properly so I had to leave hoping that I was going to see the rest of my money that had been paid upfront. I did finally receive notification about 4 hours later, that I will get a refund within five to seven business days. We will see.

Don't do it. It's not worth a penny. I usually stay at Rosen international but tried to save a few dollars here. I stay at Red roof plus in Jacksonville and it's fine. They actually do have premium rooms and the place feels clean. This house is HORRIBLE!!! Our room was WET from humidity, tape on the walls, the fire alarm was on the chair, furniture is really beaten up. Smells of mold and nasty. There was nothing premium about this room at all and it's way below what I expected even for Red roof. On a positive note, staff was friendly and they were actively working around the property. The sheets and towels seemed clean. Beds were comfortable. The location is great and it was pretty quiet considering being right next to the highway and icon park.

Every positive thing you've seen about this hotel is a lie- including the pictures they show on the website. Absolute worst hotel I've ever stayed in. I don't even think it should be open for business, it should be condemned. 3 star rating according to Google. LIES. Checked into our room and saw how dilapidated it was right away. Poorly patched holes in the walls, some rotten holes and crevices they didn't bother to patch. Mold everywhere. Everything was damp. Nothing was cleaned well, filth in all the corners. I don't think the hallway carpet on our floor even knew what a vacuum was. Debris and even dog poop all over. But worst of all was the roaches. Turn the lights off or open food in the room and watch the roaches pour out of the cracks and holes, from behind the mirrors, everywhere. I felt like I was in Joe's Apartment. Went to the desk and asked to switch rooms, nothing available. The clerk gave me a bottle of "bug spray" in a squirt bottle. 'Why stay?' you ask. We were refugees, fleeing for our lives from Hurricane Milton the Destroyer, like half of FL- which has to be the only reason this hotel has ever been filled to capacity. No one who had another option would stay here. We got into a different room the 2nd day of our stay and it was a little newer- or at least had a fresh coat of paint over the mold. It wasn't AS infested with roaches as the previous room, but they were there. Not much need to go into details on the second room. It held no surprises after the 1st room. Just more of the same. In summary: stay somewhere else. ANYwhere else. Under an overpass would be better.

This is by far the worst hotel on idrive. I would have never left Rosen trying to save a few dollars if I had known how poor the service is and how run down the rooms are. Roach infested, holes in walls, leaking pipes, mold/mildew in rooms. When I first got there they had to switch me from three different rooms the fourth one happened to be a premium one which was decent enough to stay in. Until roaches started calling from under the bed every time we ate in the room. Not to mention the drugs and prostitution that go on in and around the hotel. Hotel employees come to work and don't want to do their job correctly. Stay there for a week and a half not once did I receive room service. I had to go downstairs to the front desk each time to get new towels and new sheets to put them on myself. It is a great location where the hotel is located but definitely the worst hotel I've ever booked with on iDrive. Never again!!!!

RUN! Do not book here! It’s filthy, smelly and overall yucky! The hallway smelled like wet dog, and they tried to cover it with some air sanitizer. I tried my best not to puke every time I walked in it. It smelled weed too. There was a room with loud music that kept me up along with other things. The Bathroom fixtures fall off when you touch them. The grout are dirty. They make it look good in their pictures but it’s not. I should have read the reviews before booking it. Never again with this hotel.
