On the plus side it's near every major artery in North Durham. Highway access is conveniently nearby, restaurants are abundant, stores are varied, and generally you can find everything you want or need within a 5-mile radius. Including quality health care. On the downside it isn't the most cleanly Hotel I've ever been inside and amenities are non-existent, or might as well be. It's cheap! That's always a plus. There are reasons that it's cheap! That's something you should keep in mind. However, importantly, I think it's a pretty safe Hotel, so you can rest easy on that note.
No complaints. Good price good room. Was already warm which is nice. Active cleaning staff. Rooms by the interstate are loud only downside. Good hotel would stay again if I return.
Red Roof Inn at 1915 North Pointe Drive, Durham, NC 27705 is a very conveniently located established motel with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Scarlett at the front desk makes a great pot of coffee and gets you registered in the blink of an eye. My room was very clean and warm, as I arrived in early December 2017 on a chilly morning after spending the night on a Greyhound bus in-transit. Scarlett gave me the card-key to a room that was waiting for me even though it was a little before 10 am and the room would not normally be assigned until noon. Thank you Scarlett and staff! (If I could make 1 suggestion for improvement, it would be to have a refrigerator in the room. But the ice bucket is fine for the small amount of food I had.) Price for room with king bed, no smoking, wheelchair accessible bathroom for 2 nights is $112.34. Real bargain, and thank you again.
I took a gamble when I booked my room. I live in Florida and red roof here is definitely not a place you want to stay. But based off reviews and location, I booked a room and crossed my fingers. My room was cleaner than some 4 star hotels I've been to and the staff was pretty Friendly! I will return, hopefully in a couple months:)
For the cost this hotel met our needs. There is no breakfast, but there's a Bojangles nearby. The location is very good.
Nice motel I would stay here again. Our room was nice and clean. We didn't hear any noise. The people at the front desk was so nice. Our room had hard wood floors so we didn't smell dirty carpet. They should put more wash cloths in the room and why is the ice machine so far away? When we go back to Durham this is where I'll stay.
Just checked out and reserved an additional stay just in case I need it tonight. Clean room! Comfortable! Friendly and professional staff! Great rates! I had to stay at another hotel Saturday night due to no vacancies here. The other hotel cost more so I expected more. Not! The other hotel was awful. Red Roof Inn far surpassed the other and I'd stay here any time.
The cost is reasonable. The rooms smell musty. Recently they are having trouble getting/ keeping good housekeepers. The manager is friendly and seems interested in good service. The location is quite convenient to Duke University and several chain stores and restaurants. It is also RIGHT next to the highway. They are pet-friendly and 100% smoke free. There is a designated pet-walking area - YAY!
For the price you can't beat it. The room was clean and neat, the beds were comfortable, they had nice art hung, the A/C worked great and we adjusted it to keep the room nice and cool all night, we watched HBO on the flat screen TV, and I finally had full bars on my (Verizon) cell phone! It was great! The only downside was there is no fridge! We needed one but oh well. And there is no breakfast food, just coffee.
Small room. Cheap A/C runs all the time. They set it to 65 to keep humidy down. Set it to 75 and the room becomes a sauna. No fridge, no microwave. TV tech was great (can control from smartphone). Like the shower. Toilet was not fixed to floor. Floor was sticky weird (floor polish I hope). Bed was nicegood sleep. Staff were nice. No breakfast, but do have coffee.
It took too long to figure out how to use the tv and the bathroom is small. On the flip side, the management brought up a new remote and the shower works great! Beds are comfortable. Just realized the microwave is missing the glass plate. Time to hit the road.
I have been staying here for over 3 years. People are very nice an rooms are clean. Price is great as I am cancer patient at Duke Med an this is the place I stay.
The office staff was great at check it. Everything is near by and the prices are great. The maid staff is horrible. Out of a 4 night stay they cleaned my room twice. Out of the 2 times they didn't give me towels or toilet paper, even though I requested them. The other 2 days they just flat out didn't do it.The room smelled like stale water after she cleaned. My phone was broken and was told on the first day of my trip I'd have a new one the next day. Never got it. Other than that, it was a nice quiet stay. I used priceline and got a great rate.
