About Red Roof Inn

A Simple, Sincere Welcome

Original Red Roof Inn
The original Red Roof Inn, 1973.

When the first Red Roof Inn opened in Columbus, Ohio, it was built to provide travelers with simplicity and economy without compromising quality.

Today, Red Roof has approximately 350 inns in 38 states, employs over 4,500 people and serves millions of guests each year. And our customers continue to find value in our nice, clean comfortable rooms, our friendly, attentive staff and our reasonable prices.

Red Roof Franchising

Red Roof Inn introduced franchising in late 1996 to quickly accelerate the expansion of the chain. Currently 133 franchised Red Roof Inn locations are welcoming guests and an aggressive list of additional franchise properties is under development.
