Red Roof Inn & Suites Newark - University

Plus/Minus - Red Roof Inn & Syutes Newark - Univer

We were visiting for our daughters College Graduation. Lodging was limited in the area. The Red Roof Inn had the room availability at a VERY REASONABLE overall average daily rate. Upon arrival we noticed a great deal of construction going on at the property as well as next door. The desk clerk was very helpful and polite. Another staff member was working to assist a customer who had been staying there on business and needed to extend his stay despite the heavy bookings for the Graduation. The clerk PROACTIVELY provided a printed map showing us the best routes during the graduation period and best way to avoid the area construction. OVERALL STAFF RATIING 5 Stars, A+ or however you want to rate as Excellent .

* The odors in the hall (I think years of smoke) * Pillows were very small and flat (almost like throw pillows) * Room was clean yet a little "funky" * This was a "suite", but you could really only view TV from bedroom area (room divided by 7/8th wall the hid bed from couch * Pool area not opened (due to construction - assuming will reopen) * Room was sparse and had aging furniture that has seen better days (you get what you pay for) * Pull out couch - Elaine from Seinfeld would have found Jerry's parents pull out comfortable compared to the one in the room (Hope some of you get the reference - if not Google it - Very Funny)
