Red Roof Inn Parkersburg

This place is worn down, The "premium" king room did not have half the lights working. The safety latch was broken and the door was bowed at the bottom suggesting it had been kicked in at some point. I did not feel safe here. There appears to be 2 separate buildings where smokers stay and non smoking. I think there are people who are living on the smoking side. One guest lets their big dog just run around unsupervised. The parking lot has quite large potholes that are very hard to maneuver around. The parking lot was well lit which helped. The room was clean enough and did not smell and thankfully no bugs! The TV picture did not have a decent quality. The mattress was ok when I first fell asleep but I woke up in the middle of the night with an aching back. I had to prop pillows up against the headboard so I could create a reclining posture to relieve the pain. If you are not concerned about shabby accommodations and are only looking for a dog friendly, cheap hotel, this may be ok for you. I will not return.

The bed was comfortable. The internet service was good. It was close to the freeway but we did not hear the freeway noise. But the heater was so noisy, almost lie a jet taking off, but if we turned it off, the room got cold quite quickly. There were no blankets. There was only one chair in the room. The space was a bit tight.

My wife and I stayed at the Red Roof Inn in Parkersburg, West Virginia while visiting the region on a multi-state fall color trip. We arrived at about 7:15 p.m. on a Tuesday evening, and as it was after sunset, one of the most helpful features was that the property's red-lit Red Roof Inn sign was very prominent upon exiting US-50 onto 7th Street at night. It made it very easy to find. The front desk staff, both upon check in and checking out in the morning, were very friendly and engaging in conversation. The room was on the small side and furnishings were generally in somewhat worn condition in need of updating, but for the price our expectations were not high. There also seemed to be regular noise from running water from an adjacent room that I could hear easily during the night. However, it met our needs for what turned out to be a less than 12-hour stay during which we never did see the small city of Parkersburg during daylight. We got an early start the next morning and left before sunrise to explore the beautiful West Virginia foliage.

Dirty washcloth left in the shower. Makes me wonder what else they missed. NO help from the front desk. I am NOT finding another hotel at 11pm because someone at this hotel doesn't do their job correctly. THIS will be the last time I stay at a RRI.

Evry Thanksgiving we drive 5-1/2 hours to visit family. This year we decided to bring our dog so my husband thought getting two rooms at this hotel was a great deal. First, because we wanted double beds we we forced to stay in the building furthest away from the front desk near a desolate wooded lot. The tv was on in my room BEFORE we opened the door but ther wasn’t a remote control. The toilet bowl was filthy from not being flushed. The refrigerator obviously had not been thoroughly cleaned in ages since the bin had caked on food remnants and th freezer a layer of frost. But the worst was the next morning when my palms itched. I then noticed the bumps on my hands, my fingers, under my chin, and wherever my skin was exposed- like above my socks (I purposely slept in them) where my pjs did not cover my legs. This place looks like it is used for permanent residences. Avoid this place at all cost! Better hotels not far away for a few dollars more.
