Red Roof Inn Tinton Falls - Jersey Shore

A strong chemical smell met us as we entered. The window was solid and could not be opened. I noticed that the floor was slippery with an oily sheen, and I did not let my bare feet touch it. My friend lifted the toilet seat and it fell off in his hands. I tried to adjust the AC fan, but could not get it to ‘low’. The shower stall had many marks from being violently hit. The final event was a cockroach in my bed. We decided that we needed to leave, and checked out at 12 midnight.

Sleep in your car at a rest stop - you'll be safer, cleaner and more comfortable. The "non-smoking" room stank of old smoke (and probably other things), the walls were spattered and stained with who-knows-what, the sink and toilet were reluctant to work, as was the door's deadbolt (which hung by only 2 of 4 screws and looked like someone had tried to kick it in). The AC was so loud we unplugged it, the bed covers were stained, and if we hadn't chosen the non-refundable option, we'd have gone elsewhere. The overall atmosphere was sleazy and we felt very unsafe, resulting in a wakeful night. Oh, AND we were charged TWICE for the room. The $164 we paid was highway robbery for such a crap room, "weekend rate" or not. We called to have the extra charge removed, and were assured that it had been, but it's still on our cc statement, so now we have to open a dispute. I lived in a roach-infested apt. in LA that was nicer and felt safer.

Dirty and smelly
