Hostels in Ohio, United States

I'm not from out of town, but needed a room for the upcoming night, due to repairs at my house. I checked the rates and availability online before arriving. Good location right off of Bagley Road, near I-71. Near restaurants, the hospital, and movie theater. Downside: you can tell as soon as you pull in the driveway, that something is off. A group of people, who appear to be the housekeeping staff, are lounging on the sidewalk, conversing (or, ”conversatin'”) right outside the entrance. Not a welcoming sight. Walking in, you notice the trash on the carpet. I didn't take a close look, but crumpled papers or wrappers or whatever scattered around the check-in area. Again, that kind of thing does not give you the feeling of welcome or cleanliness. I waited while the desk clerk talked to a guest/friend/coworker- I don't know. They seemed amused that I was standing there. The clerk greeted me. I told her that I wanted to know if I could reserve a room. She said the rooms aren't ready until 2pm- it was 11 o'clock am. I asked if I could simply make a reservation, to check in later. I had my suitcase with me. She said no. I would have to wait until 2, even to make a reservation. ??? Judging by appearances that this was not a nice place, I thanked her and decided to move on. Eventually checked in to the Quality Inn in Brunswick. Cheap rates are not worth this kind of environment.

We wanted a hotel close to Playhouse Square, as we had tickets to a play at the Conner Palace. There was a choice between this hotel and the Crowne Plaza. This one was less expensive, although still pricey. Although not the worst hotel, it is nothing to write home about. It was clean and the room was functional. The desk clerks, upon check-in and check-out, were pleasant enough. However, when I called down to the front desk to say my wi-fi password wasn't working, the girl who answered got a bit snippy with me. Who knows, maybe this was not the first time she took this complaint. Well, through no help from her, I figured it out myself: you had to manually type in the password completely, rather than use the ”autofill” feature. We stayed two nights and upon check-in, we were informed that we would not receive maid service. If we needed anything we were instructed to ask at the front desk. This didn't bother us, because we usually refuse maid service anyhow and the front desk staff was very accommodating when I asked for extra coffee. But, if you are the type to expect daily maid service, don't go here. When we went to the breakfast bar on Saturday morning, there was nothing there except juice and coffee, so don't expect a Continental breakfast. There is convenient self-parking, as opposed to valet parking at the Crowne Plaza, but it is not free. All-in-all, not too bad of a place, but mostly you are paying for the convenience of the location.

This place was absolutely disgusting. The minute we walked into the room you were slapped by cigarette smell in a “non-smoking” room and you could see food on the floor/desk. The linen was black in some spots. The pillows had a yellow tint. There was food in the fridge. We didn’t even bother to check the bathroom because we were already disgusted. Quickly booked another hotel and went downstairs to let them know about the situation. The man said “oh I must have put you in the wrong room. My bad. I’ll switch your room” I politely stated that I just wanted a refund because we booked elsewhere. He quickly said that he didn’t know how to do it so he couldn’t refund me and could only switch my room. Again, I booked elsewhere so that was not feasible. I asked if there was anyone he could call to show him how to process the refund he said no but I could give him my email, phone number, and name and they will email me my refund. I didn’t think that was ok so I asked if he could write on a piece of paper that he will refund me so I have proof. He proceeded to say “what do you want me to do give you my number?”. I immediately said no and got really frustrated. I walked outside to call the reservations supervisor and he went to the room. As he came back down he was on the phone with someone and yelled across the parking lot at me stating that “it wasn’t even that bad and he will switch rooms” at this point I felt really uncomfortable and stated that to the reservations supervisor. This was a HORRIBLE experience! As I was on the phone another patron at the hotel stated she had roaches in her room. This hotel should be shut down! Horrible customer service. Horrible housekeeping. Horrible all the way around.

There was pubic hair in the sheets of my bed and on my bathroom towels. I had a reservation made several weeks earlier and was entitled to come at around 10 pm when I arrived. I didn't need to get a harassing call to see if I was still coming so they could give my ”last room” to someone else. The microwave and the refrigerator did not work. The refrigerator had one setting- freezing. My sodas were frozen solid in the morning. The microwave would not work at all. I couldn't cook the food I had saved for breakfast. The front desk had no idea of how to get the microwave to work and refused to do anything about it. I wrote a nasty review on their survey. I got an obviously prefabbed response from Red Roof Inn Corporate and from the Front Desk. They promised to ”make some changes”. Yeah- right- all you care about is that you got my money. That's the last money you will get from me. Do not even think of staying in this filthy, disgusting place. If I could give this place a zero on this site, I would. I gave them a zero on the Red Roof Inn Questionnaire. There are plenty of other, more reputable hotels in this area. If my travels for business take me there again, I will stay at one of them - not Red Roof Inn. I hope that my review prevents someone else from having the nasty experience that I had. Also - it was nonsmoking in theory- but people could smoke like fiends outside of the rooms. You may as well have been in a smoking room as the smoke easily permeated the doors and walls of the room.

The room that was arranged at the beginning did not even hit, but the front desk gave the room a lot. The traffic is very convenient, just off Highway 90, not far from the beach of Lake Erie. The breakfast was average, the cake was sticky and it was difficult to swallow.

The only good thing about this hotel was the staff. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. We were treated with kindness and made to feel welcome. Now the rest of the visit...this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. It was part of a package deal that included tickets to the Rock and Roll HOF which is the only reason we booked it. The landscaping had not been maintained and was basically an overgrown jungle. We had a total of 3 rooms for our group. Every room had multiple issues but I will list them all together: no cups, no coffee, no cream/sugar, mold in the bathroom, no ice bucket, hair dryer and coffee maker that didn't work (hair dryer actually shot out sparks), a twin size blanket on a queen bed, broken lock on room door....I could go on but I think you understand our disappointment.

A motel, just off the road! Breakfast is average, but can meet the basic needs, mainly bread, surprise is to do waffle, drinks: coffee, juice, and cereals and yogurt! Very close to the gas station, walk for 5 minutes; drive 10 minutes from Wal-Mart, 24 hours, great, everything! Suitable for driving, parking is convenient!

RedRoof had always been our go-to hotel for consistency. They are usually well-maintained and clean. I don't know WHAT is going on with this place though... First off, the evening staff at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. That was about the only good part. Once we made it around to our parking area, we parked next to a 30-year-old abandoned truck stuffed with garbage. Even the driver's seat was full, so it's obvious it's not being driven. As we made our way toward the building, it was concerning that the outside door to the corridor has a swipe-lock, but it was not operational, and the door stayed unlocked. Nice security. Once inside, the smell of vape, cigarettes and **** permeated the hallways. I was passed by a man carrying a large clothes hamper on his way to the laundry. I assume he lives there. Once we got to our room, I could see down the hall that garbage cans and bags of trash were stacked in the hallway (I assume from more people who live there). I also noticed TONS of dog hair along the hallway carpet. I wasn't even looking for it. It just was that dirty that it caught my eye. I could hear kids screaming and dogs barking already, the walls were that thin. Once inside the room, we noticed how poorly maintained it was. The lampshade was broken, the tiles had months of dirt buildup along the edges, the toilet seat had cigarette burns, and the commode itself was so loose I thought it would fall over. The bathtub had hair and bits of debris in it. I turned on the faucet (which, along with the spout, moved in and out of the wall about an inch when touched), but the tub just filled up and swirled the debris around, taking several minutes to drain, leaving even more debris behind. So we couldn't use the tub. I'm not going to stand in ankle-deep dirty water with somebody else's hair. The mattress was completely flat in the middle. It was like sleeping in a hammock. My wife and I had to stick pillows under our sides like wheel-chocks to keep from rolling into the middle. The walls and floors are extremely thin. We could hear EVERYTHING going on beside us and above us. We could even hear the upstairs dog walking around as if it was in our room! Plus people slamming doors all night, screaming in the hallways, making every dog in the building bark in unison... Like I said- RedRoof is usually a solid choice. But NOT THIS ONE. It is VERY poorly cleaned and maintained. We were only there for one night, and I bet most people wouldn't have even made it that long.

Went well. Hotel wanted to charge $148 instead of the agreed upon $132, but they ended up agreeing to $133.

I've stayed here multiple times. It's always the cheapest hotel on hotels.com. My ex and I used to stay sometimes twice a week (I have 3 children at home, and his sister and her 3 kids lived with him). The clerk even laughed at me once bc he saw me in there so much. The rooms are what you would expect, for $40 after taxes, (although rates keep going up and it's now about $50.) There are maybe 2 or 3 ”nicer” rooms here. By ”nicer” I mean nicer than THEIR other rooms. They are not nice at all compared to pretty much any other hotel, ever,. The 1 that you can tell is hand painted pictures on the wall, but unfortunately there are shapes drawn where the lining is terribly off in places and you definitely notice it, and it will drive you crazy! Most rooms, including the ”fake nicer” ones, have no fridge or microwave. Several rooms have no remotes for the TV. I've been in at least 1 room that had no TV. (I don't watch television, so I prefer this room, actually). The chord to the phone, was literally duct taped on to the phone! Pretty much any surface that used to be white, is yellow stained now, from all the nicotine, and there are dark orange cigarette burn marks on most sink edges and countertop edges and even on the top of some of the toilet lids. Even non-smoking rooms are like this and ALL OF THE ROOMS smell of stale cigarettes. Even with the non smoking rule, there are multiple people that will open the front window and just smoke straight from the bed. Many people live here full time and are extra comfortable doing this and I've seen it during every stay. Several of the toilet tops are slanted (your guess is as good as mine as to why). But if you sit your drink or phone on the back, The beds in a couple rooms are actually directly against the air/heating unit, directly next to the window. I've never seen anything like it before, and it seemed like it would be a fire hazard, if the heat were on. Most carpet looks like it hasn't been replaced in 2 decades (and I'd bet $500 it hasn't been). Sane with the curtains and the sheets and bed cover; ALL of which are still in rotation, with crusty, gaping cigarette holes in them. I've never seen any bugs, outside of spiders and stink bugs, that I can say. But I'm also a very clean person. The scum of the area, either lives or frequents here. 1 time when I stayed with my daughter here, a woman was screaming at us in the parking lot that it crackheads stay there and kept asking my teenage daughter if I was trafficking her and asking if she needed help. She was definitely on some hard drugs, and the owner told me that she was angry bc she'd been asked to vacate the property. I believe that more negative reviews haven't been posted bc people know what to expect when they come here. Especially locals, and those who live in the hotel. It's a party hotel, and everyone smokes **** and everything else in their rooms, so how would they be the 1 to make a complaint? The staff is generally polite, aside fr

I should have know by the smell that this was going to be bad. The sheets were dirty, the chair was torn, the bathroom floor was missing grout and when you walked on it you could feel it moved. Most of the windows on the outside were torn up. When I told the front desk she just looked at me and said I can move you to another room. Why would I want another room when I saw what the first one had to offer. She did finally talk to her manager add we high tailed it out of there. Photos online also show sanitary measures , nope not here the bathroom floor had hair on it and looked liked like it had pee spray. I can not repeat enough DO NOT STAY HERE. I get you read these and think it can't be that bad IT IS. I feel sorry for the people staying there.

I recently stayed at Red Roof Sharonville. I stay often and have for years. I stay because of the staff. Manager Joe is always nice and Paula is amazing. I will continue to visit this hotel. Rooms are clean, I can’t say enough about how wonderful Joe has been over the years. Fast with check-ins, clean rooms etc. I prefer room 113 and he does his best to accommodate me
