If you’re like I was, you’ve undoubtedly driven past a Red Roof PLUS Inn and kept on driving. Sure, there’s never been anything bad about Red Roof Inns, but there wasn’t anything spectacular, either. Hey, I’m just being honest.
Until recently…
After a brief meeting with a few of the fine Red Roof reps at the AAA Great Vacations Travel EXPO in Columbus last month, they invited me to check out a Red Roof PLUS+ property in my local area to discover what’s new. Always up for a hotel stay and for learning about upscale economy brands, I packed my bags, road tripped less than an hour to the Pittsburgh South location, and Mr. Locke, The Kid, and I discovered five reasons why you should consider staying in a Premium Room at Red Roof PLUS+.
100% Smoke Free Property
Hallelujah! Having a family with allergies, it was a pleasant surprise to know that the entire Red Roof Brand was 100% smoke free. We walked into our Premium Room, and with nary a hint of cigarette smoke, we didn’t sniffle or sneeze all night.
Mini Fridge and Microwave
A mini fridge and microwave are both standard amenities in Red Roof Plus+ Premium Rooms- and perfect for budgeting families. Our visit to the Pittsburgh South location offered a great spot across the street from a grocery store where we could stock up on drinks and snacks. The microwave also comes in handy for the complimentary snack box offerings as well.
