Red Roof Inn Allentown South

Hospitality was nice

This was strictly a cheap room to catch a few hours of sleep during a road trip. You get what you pay for. 2 big negatives for me were 1. The huge black pube stuck to the side of the bathtub and, 2. The soap in the shower left a nasty sticky film on me that I had to wash off with shampoo. The two positives were, 1. The guy at the desk was very nice. 2. The bed was actually quite comfortable. It appeared to be managed by a couple who lives at the hotel with their young children who were really loud when I walked past the door next to the office at roughly 11pm. If you’re just looking for a place to crash for a while, it’s fine

My family and I have been here for a couple months due to the pandemic and when I tell you that all we get treated here is with respect and humbleness. The owner is really stepping it up fixing everything in this building I’m so glad that someone bought this building and did an amazing job with that it’s very very clean. I have a four-year-old and I am very protective of my child my safety here also and it’s really quiet and safe here. I would definitely recommend to families! No other place Made us feel like family. Except here it’s nothing but family and humbleness.

Red Roof Inn Allentown South Allentown TOTAL DUMP FOR $116. No elevator! Bathroom was filthy and falling apart. Floor was dirty so I had to keep my shoes on, sheets are thin and not cotton maybe. Floor was uneven in some places like it had flooded and not been fixed, only covered over…and this was the second floor! I checked the mattress. It was encased but the case was spotted with what looked like mold on the sides. There was other peoples’ hair stuck/glued to the side of the tub. I woke up with my entire face swollen. I didn’t have a choice. Tried to find other pet friendly hotels but all were booked due to a big dog show. I was in the area for that show so had a lot of equipment and a dog who cannot do stairs until she’s 2 and there is NO ELEVATOR! What a nightmare. The whole place was sketchy. I think some people live there full time. I get it, housing is awful in this country but this place felt like it was owned by someone doing the least for residents and guests and charging the most. Oh, there’s an adult toy store next door and I smelled ********* the entire time. The pool is closed it says “due to COVID” which is beyond ridiculous and I’m the type who still masks. They just don’t want to maintain it. I have a suspicion it’s the same for the elevator. I honestly felt like it was akin to the quality of a prison. It felt stark and cold and hard.

PROS -right of Interstate 78 -Very clean room. We had 2 Queen, incomplete renovated room. They forgot to remove painter’s tape-showing old paint color between top wall and ceiling. Dorm size fridge with freezer, microwave, one cup coffee maker. -Very well lit parking lot. Looks like stadium lights. CONS -2 floor building. No elevator to second floor -No complimentary breakfast. 24 hr coffee though. -Renovation tools/materials along hallway. -AC doesn’t seem to work along hallway areas. AC does work in the room. -Smell of hotel owner’s local food wafted/lingered as we entered the registration area.

I’m not a typical complainer but this place was just dirty. Our room was barely cleaned- the sheets on one bed were not changed and had stains and food crumbs all over. The shower was disgusting- fortunately we didn’t need to shower. We picked this hotel based on the positive reviews from others but I definitely recommend you find somewhere else.

All our basic needs were met with this room, clean, room enough, good bed and shower, kept up well. I wish all Red Roofs were this reliable. Staff was helpful. We felt very safe. Thanks for having dogs free.

The room and the bathroom were very clean. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. We had zero issues while during our stay. We will definitely stay here again. As mentioned in another review, there aren't very many food options nearby but the ones there are great! Pick up what you want to eat before you head in to your room.

The good- room was clean(outside doesn't look the best), price was right, The iffy- right next to I78 so you might hear traffic @ all hours, did not effect my sleep, make sure you bring food, nothing convenient to go back out to grab something, lots of traffic, I used iPhone map app to guide me, was spot on coming from across the city, especially finding it @ night.
