Red Roof Plus+ Columbus Downtown-Convention Center

The front desk is friendly and polite. They say good morning to customers. Location is perfect if you have conference in the Hilton and Hyatt convention center. But the building and decorations are truly old. There are some machine noises, maybe from water promo, all day and night along, cannot sleep without earplugs.

The adage about getting what you pay for exists because of places like this. Yes, it’s close to the convention center. That’s the full extent of the list of “pros”. OK, I’ll amend that to acknowledge that the staff is nice enough, but good service on the Titanic probably wouldn’t have changed any of the passengers’ opinions about the overall quality of their trip. The cheap rate was little consolation as we encountered red flag after red flag. The first room we got had a phone that didn’t work and a toilet that WAS NOT SECURED TO THE FLOOR. They moved us to a second room. The electronic lock on the door didn’t work. Moved us to a third room, where I currently sit angrily typing this review. The television in this room doesn’t work and the bathtub has rust. They offered to move us again. We considered finding another place, but it’s now almost 11:00 and it would be too much of a hassle at this point. We’re going to tough it out and spend as little time in this room as possible. I would give zero stars if I could. I’m very happy for the previous guests who have left good reviews. Maybe my family just had the worst luck ever and got the only three bad rooms in the building. I guess I’ll never find out. You couldn’t pay me to stay here again.

Power went out on Saturday, which I know they couldn’t help, but after power came back on no one went around to reset anything. Staff seem d like they didn’t care. Microwave in our room only half worked
