I stayed for two nights, Sat-Mon (Nov. 2025) and was overall disappointed with my stay at Red Roof Inn & Suites in Chestertown, MD.
The two women at the front desk were professional and friendly.
The following are the issues I had during my stay:
- During all times of the day, there were what seemed to be day laborers hanging out in the parking lot. At night, I could hear them speaking and playing their "boom boom" music when all I wanted was to go to sleep.
- The elevator smelled of a dirty ash tray. (I went across the street to Acme and bought air freshner to try to kill the odor.
- Once I entered my room, I noticed wallpaper peeling away from the wall in three different places. Two of the lamp shades were hanging off the lamp. It seems screws were missing. The handle on the nightstand was hanging off as there was a screw missing. There was also a circular splash/spill mark on the wall above the desk. To clean it up, I used one of the washcloths in the bathroom.
- The toilet would not flush! I attempted to fix it, as I've done at home several times before, but was unable to resolve the issue. I asked one of the two women to move to a different room as there were two of us staying in the room, but I was advised that all the other rooms with king sized beds were booked for the weekend.
POSITIVE:
- The king size bed was very comfortable and the pillows smelled clean and were also equally comfortable.
- The cost was better than Comfort Inn & Suites, but....
