I have stayed at a number of Red Roofs. They have a fairly generous points program and are fine for an overnight stay. The best feature is the laminate floor especially when traveling with the dog. Most RR’s accept pets at no charge Only once did I have a major issue with an RR in Illinois and ended up staying elsewhere. Suggest springing for the deluxe king room if you need more space.
I know it's not standard for Red Roof Inn to have breakfast but, my family and I stayed at a Red Roof Inn plus in Palm Coast Florida it's a former Sleep Inn they had a full hot breakfast and it was actually a decent one for Red Roof Inn.
georgef551 Just looked it up out of curiosity. 1985. If it were any other chain I would have guessed early 70s, but Red Roof was pretty old school for a long time. They were still using this exact design well into the 90s.
@@TheElevatorChannel That is odd. They went retro with it then. The textured walls and door trim are right out of the 70s, I didn't know that style still existed then.
Nice video, a little late but I got this in my recommended July 26, 2020. Room is clean and nice. Nice series 1 and American standard Yorkville (the toilet) those toilets are rare.
This was very helpful for me. I live right at 100 miles from St Louis, and stay in the city with some regularity. Good to know there's a good, inexpensive option when I require it. Thanks!
Toasting in the bathroom, The Elevator Channel style. Put your slice of bread in the toaster oven, turn it on, and jump in the shower. After the toaster dings, the shower stops, and Jacob comes out!
Red Roof Plus is a new one I haven't heard of before this video. Another new one for me apparently Best Western now has a series of budget hotels called SureStay Hotels by Best Western and some of the old Best Western properties are being rebranded with this new name while others may still be Best Western. This new brand something to definately look into a little more.
Mitchell Armstrong Painting and refinishing a section of hardwood flooring in this case. This video was filmed way back when I was finishing up the master bath.
I stayed in one once and it was terrible. The manager apologized via email and offered me a certificate for a free one night stay.....and then never sent it.
I just stayed here a couple weeks ago and it has really gone downhill! The place is not being maintained in the slightest. The interior and exterior doors were damaged and had holes, the walls had holes, the room wasn’t clean, hair in the bed, and they tried to mask the smoke smell. Also, the elevator wasn’t functioning as I was traveling with a disabled friend, and the railings for the stairs and in front of the rooms were damaged and not secure. The room beneath us was boarded up. I complained to the desk and they did nothing to improve the situation or refund my stay. The place is a dump now.

That’s a nice motel! And it even has a good old OTIS Series 1.

I'd put it at late 60s, renovated to be more modern-looking. The textured walls are a giveaway.

I always prefer the sink to be outside the bathroom than inside.
Mack Pines It’s extra-nice if you’re splitting the room with someone. You can use the sink while they’re in the shower
Me too I had 4 people in a room it was great
Not bad for the price
Looks really nice. The smoke odor though would drive me nuts. I'd have to request a new room.
TheMM1215 Same here, but it was very faint in this case. Most people probably wouldn’t have noticed it.
Very nice old Elevator
That’s a nice motel. Never thought I’d ever say those words 😂.
Red Roof Ins are 50/50 some are complete garbage while others are really good. It just depends which one you go to.

Great video 😀👍👍
I’m surprised how nice it was, for less than $100!!!😱
I like the red roof inn and I work at one and I like it
What?? No bottle opener mounted on the bathroom doorframe?
This is definitely a nice Red Roof Plus! (Otis Series 1 elevator, love it!)
i stayed at the Downtown Hartford Red Roof Inn Plus. now they are a Choice Hotels property.
I just realized this is the 100th hotel review video Jacob has ever made.

oh yes, i would do that too.
I'm staying here if I ever come to St. Louis.
Can you do the Empire builder
that’s actually pretty nice!
That elevator is very tired. Downtown Hartford had a Red Roof Plus until Choice Hotels bought it.
@Aidan Patterson yes, Hartford CT.
Wonder when that Hard Rock Hotel is going to be built there
Yay a new one
Howdy!😸😸
As long as it's not in an unsafe area, it's not bad at all.
a cheap hotel that rents to locals in high crime city that doesn't seem so bad
isn't most of st louis unsafe? even hotels in safe areas can be sketchy , usually cheap hotels
@@nomadcowatbk I don't know. I've never been there.

Matt Graham What I really need to do some time is rent one of the “plus” upgraded rooms and see what they’re like. I’m very curious
I stayed at one of the RR+ properties in Austin before and AFTER they reclassified the hotel, and I didn't notice any changes to the place.
I like red roofs
Have you ever done a HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof?
Construction fumes? Everything ok? If you have time I'd like to see a house update.
what makes fumes during house construction?
Sam Sitar certain kinds of paint, epoxy, chemicals used for stripping paint, etc.

I like Red Roofs though when it comes to budget, I prefer Best Western

Poop fumes are rough
