Fact
What should I know before booking Red Roof Inn with a dog?
Red Roof has promoted its pets-stay-free policy for years, and alongside Motel 6 it is one of only two large economy chains where a dog typically adds nothing to the bill. The 80 lb weight guideline is higher than most mid-priced brands, which makes Red Roof a realistic option for labradors, retrievers and shepherds on a budget. The usual limit is one pet per room at no charge; some locations accept a second for a modest nightly fee, and a few decline pets altogether or restrict them to certain rooms.
Most Red Roof Inns are roadside properties with exterior corridors and parking outside the door, concentrated in the Midwest, South and along the East Coast interstates. Renovated Red Roof PLUS+ locations have upgraded rooms and are worth the small premium. As with any economy brand, standards vary by location, so check recent photos. The brand asks that pets are not left alone in rooms, which makes it best for overnight stops rather than days spent sightseeing without the dog.
