Red Roof Inn was founded by James R. Trueman, an Ohio-based contractor who believed, like our guests, in simplicity and economy without giving up quality. He built his business with one mission in mind: To offer clean and comfortable rooms as well as attentive guest service – and charge less for it. Today, we continue to thrive without losing sight of our original values. From our home town of Columbus, OH to the piers of San Francisco, we have grown to 670+ hotels across the nation and across the globe including Brazil and Japan. Even as we grow in size and room variety, our dedication remains true to preserving excellent experiences at an affordable price. Today, Red Roof® has more than 670 properties in the U.S., Brazil and Japan across our four brands, ranging from economy to midscale. Red Roof’s portfolio of brands includes: Red Roof Inn® and Red Roof PLUS+®, allowing guests to Sleep Easy.
