The price was right for a one-night stay on my route. Bare bones, as most Red Roofs are. Bed was comfortable enough. Fridge was weak. Room was clean enough, except for a big dried spill of what must have been sugary Coke in the middle of the floor I had to clean up so I didn’t stick walking through it. Front desk guy was hospitable. I’d probably stay again, but not long.

This is in a great location if traveling. Very close to the highways. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Plenty of restaurants and stores within a short drive. My wife and I stay here a couple times a year as we go between Michigan and Florida.

GREAT PLACE TO STAY! Clean, quiet, updated rooms at a good rate and also easy to get to from Cincinnati, Dayton, or any highway on the east side of Indianapolis. I travel for work and, after finding this hotel, I always stay here. Every stay over the past year has been perfectly fine. The updated rooms are the equivalent of a new Hilton TRU, but with some wear. They are SPOTLESS. Sink and counter is NEW and PERFECT. Bed linens are NEW. Toilet is NEW. The rooms always smell fresh and pleasantly aired-out. There have never been any potential problems in the parking lot. Compared to the other hotels in the area, Red Roof Inn Indianapolis East provides good quality at a very good price. I look forward to staying here and getting a good night's rest. Also, it is conveniently located near the intersection of I-70 and I-465. Overall, if you don't mind some wear and tear, it is a great alternative to a Hampton Inn or similar at half the price.

Nice hotel….. ended up staying there twice on our trip East and then back to MN…….Room 122 was the best! Right off the freeway, our dogs stayed with us…… nice lawn at the rear of the property was great to let them run around a bit, after a long car ride.

Outside well lit. Nice & clean inside. I like that the outlets & charging ports are on the base of the lamps do you don't have to fumble with outlets behind the beds. The bathroom had a vent, unlike many other hotels we've been to. Roomy, bright bathroom vanity area. The toilet & shower room is small, tho, but clean & new. Floors are newer hardwood laminate and bathroom newly tiled, so no smelly, stained rugs to worry about! Nice motel room at a great price!
