Red Roof Inn Columbia, MO

I think this place gets a bad rap from people expecting a five-star experience for a budget price. I’m on a cross-country road trip, and after my original hotel fell through, I ended up here at the Red Roof Inn in Columbia, Missouri. Honestly? It’s not nearly as bad as the one-star reviews make it sound. The staff have been kind and helpful. The guy at the front desk told me he works seven days a week running the place, and you can tell he’s doing his best. My check-in was easy, the room was reasonably clean, the water was hot, and the parking was plentiful when I rolled in around 10:30 p.m. What really surprised me is there’s no pet fee — a rare thing these days. That alone makes it a great find for anyone traveling with animals. Is it fancy? No. But it’s a quiet, convenient stop right

Positive: "" Negative: False advertising, absolutely nothing was in the room that was in the description of the room online. It filthy! Like it hadn't been cleaned in MONTHS, cobwebs everywhere. The walls were so rotten the baseboards were falling off and you could see mold.

We asked for a handicap accessible room. We did not receive one. The shower made. He got awful noise at my handicap and could not even use the shower because he couldn’t get into the bathroom. He is in a wheelchair. I specified that when booking the room I was told that I had to pay $100 security deposit or I could not get my key and it would be refunded to me within three business days that was not stated when I booked with red roof, we have state at red roof before very, very nice motels. This one was just absolutely terrible. It was old. The blankets were stained. They were brown Orrington white and the white was stained gray. There was cobwebs in the corner. There was mold around the tub. There’s soap scum all over the shower wall and inside of the tub. There’s a refrigerator in there

Had to switch rooms 3 times because rooms are dirty and not cleaned properly by staff. I told front desk if they worked at the hotel I work at they would all lose their jobs. There is mold on the floors of some rooms .make SURE you CHECK behind BEFS and you ac units specifically in room 105. Microwaves missing plates or not hearing. And no hot water I can’t even take a shower, HOW?!?!? And they have the nerve to have a fake review up here about “staying for months” and “rooms were nice” it’s either a paid review or just a flat out lie. There is nothing good about this place whatsoever. 0 stars honestly.

If there weren't cars in the parking lot you would think this pile of crap was abandoned. Plastic railing is definitely not OSHA. Concrete debris and screws all over the parking lot. Maybe they're remodeling but it's going to take an act of God to make this place somewhere anyone would stay. You could "smell" the interior from the street. Paid $95.00 in advance. They refused to cancel the reservation or refund payment. This is a case of where you dont get what you pay for. SEE PHOTOS! Paid another $100.00 to stay elsewhere but that's a whole different review😡
