Finding a good deal on a hotel using Redroof.com is quite easy, once you get used to their system. Their main page is so jammed with offers and advertisements that it can be difficult to figure out how to book a simple hotel reservation.
Below we’ll give you a step-by-step guide, along with some valuable tips for saving money, to make using Expedia as easy as possible.
Step 1 – Go to Redroof.com 
Step 2 – On the right-hand side of the screen you will see a search box marked “Find an Innâ€
Step 3 – Choose how you want to search, by selecting an entry from the drop-down menu below. Your choices are:
• A city
• An airport
• An attraction
• A US address
• Map
• Inn #
Selecting to search by city is best for most people, unless you specifically want to find a hotel very near an airport or a specific attraction. This will give you the widest range of options, organized by how centrally located each hotel is.
Step 4 – Type in the city name.
Step 5 – Enter the dates you need in the fields below. You only have to click once into the date field, and Redroof.com will pop up a handy calendar, so you can just click on the date with the least amount of effort.
Step 6 – Enter the number of rooms and guests you need, and then click on the purple “Find†button.
A moment later, you’ll be looking at the first page of results that Red Roof Inns has found that meets your criteria.
How to best sort your results to get the best hotel for your needs
Because Red Roof Inns are not part of the Wyndham chain of resorts and hotels and Redroof.com does not show search results for other hotel chains like Travelocity or Orbitz, you may find there are zero search results for certain areas. In this case, you can view the map of the United States and find a Red roof Inn based on their concentrated locations throughout the U.S.
If you are matched with search results, you will be given a lost of the hotels for a given area. At this point you will have some options as how to narrow these results further.
On the right-hand side of the screen you will see options for how to modify your result dates and or check-in and check-out dates.
At the bottom of each listing for hotels that matched your search results, you will also notice icons showing which amenities are available for that given Red Roof Inn.
You will also see an icon allowing you to view the hotels on a map. By clicking on this option you will be given a small map detailing where that specific hotel is located along with directions. From this screen you will also see several tabs along the top, which allow you to view more specifics about that Red Roof Inn.
1. Inn details—By clicking on this tab, you will be given a general summary of the hotel and what attraction are located nearby. It will also list nearby restaurants, businesses and airports. For example, when searching hotels in the Los Angeles area, the first hotel on the list has the following listed in terms of details:
“This Red Roof Inn is located just minutes from the Disney Resort, Knott’s Berry Farm, Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum and the Movieland Wax Museum. The Inn is alsoclose to shopping and dining†
2. Amenities—This will list the amenities of that given hotel, such as elevator, laundry, continental breakfast, etc.
3. Check Rates and Availability—This tab will allow you to check the prices and availably of rooms for the given dates you’d like to check in and out.
How to choose from the list to find the best hotel for the lowest price
1. Pay close attention to the price, the star rating, and the user reviews for each hotel you are considering.
2. Be certain the hotel has an acceptable location. Often, the cheapest hotels are cheap only because they are a long way from the area most people prefer to stay in. Keep in mind, also, that because you have already significantly narrowed your hotel search by only searching for Red Roof Inns, most likely your search results will all be within a very similar price range.
Now click on the SELECT button next to your hotel and room choice, and you are ready to complete the reservation at the best hotel for you.
