Denton's BEST Kept Secret: Red Roof Inn & Suites! (TX)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Red Roof Inn & Suites in Denton, Texas – the BEST Kept Secret, they say. Let's unpack this… uh… experience. And look, I'm not gonna lie, I've seen things, stayed in places… let's just say my standards are… evolving. So here's the messy, honest, and utterly human breakdown of this Denton diamond in the… uh… rough.
(Opening with a Bang!)
Okay, straight up: accessibility. This is HUGE. Wheelchair accessible? Check. Elevator? Check. Facilities for disabled guests listed? Check. Now, I didn't personally need those things, but seeing them listed, knowing they’re there, makes you feel… seen. That's a good start. And the exterior hallways? I've seen worse. You’re getting enough, you know.
(The Wi-Fi Wars and the Roomy Revelations)
Let's talk Wi-Fi, because, let's be honest, it's 2024. You need it. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? Thank goodness. And in public areas too? Perfect for catching up on work, or, more likely, scrolling relentlessly through TikTok, which, let me tell you, I totally did because I’m human. Internet? Listed. Internet LAN? There! I’m not sure I would go in. That’s a lot of internet, man. So, connectivity gets a solid thumbs up from this digital nomad-ish… person.
Now, the rooms themselves… okay, real talk. They're… rooms. But surprisingly spacious. Extra-long bed? Nice. Blackout curtains? Bless. Because, hello, sleep is IMPORTANT. Coffee maker? Good. Refrigerator? Bonus. (And before you ask, yes, I judge a hotel based on the strength of its refrigerator. Is it a real fridge, or just a glorified whisper of cold? This one performed admirably.)
I took a deep breath as I walked in. I didn’t want to be disappointed (again).
Now, a lot of the things that aren’t in every hotel room, I loved. Bathrobes, Slippers, Bathrooms phone, extra-long bed, high floor, soundproof (probably).
I was impressed.
(Cleanliness and Safety – The Pandemic Edition)
The world we live in, right? Cleanliness and safety are essential. This Red Roof Inn claims to have anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, rooms sanitized between stays. They're all, listed. I didn't personally witness hazmat suits, but the vibe felt clean. Hand sanitizer everywhere. Staff trained in safety protocol. The whole shebang. The hotel seemed to be taking this stuff seriously, and in this day and age, that’s worth its weight in gold. I’d take a bullet.
(Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - The Great Expectations)
Okay, let's be real here. I’m not expecting Michelin-star cuisine at a Red Roof. However, there appeared to be a lack of on-site accessible restaurants, which is a downer. Although, room service [24 hours] is there, which is something as I write this. You know. They've got a snack bar (probably chips and candy), and coffee/tea in the restaurant. All good. I didn't spot any happy hour, but hey, maybe I just missed it. I would have seen a happy hour.
(Things to do… or Not Do… and Ways to Relax)
This is where things get a little… sparse. Gym/fitness? Check. Swimming pool [outdoor]? Check. (Didn't see a pool with a view, sadly). Spa? Nope. Sauna? Not in sight. Body wraps, body scrubs, steamrooms? Forget about it. Basically, this ain’t a spa-cation. It's more of a "sleep and maybe swim if you feel like it" kind of place. On the plus side, there’s a terrace! Gotta love a terrace, right?
(Services and Conveniences - The Small Touches)
This is where Red Roof starts to shine. Cash withdrawal? Yes. Concierge? Maybe. Air conditioning in public areas? Yeah. Luggage storage? Checked. Doorman? Probably not, but hey, I'm not complaining. Contactless check-in/out? Excellent. One thing I'll say is, the services are there, the important ones.
FOR THE KIDS
I can’t really speak for things for the kids, as I wasn’t with any kids.
Getting Around Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Taxi service and valet parking.
The Overall Impression
Look, the Red Roof Inn & Suites in Denton isn’t going to win any awards for luxury. It’s not a palace. But it is a safe, clean, surprisingly spacious place to rest your weary head. It hits the essentials: a comfortable bed, reliable Wi-Fi, and a decent fridge. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for a road trip pit stop, a quick business trip, or if you're visiting Denton and you need somewhere easy to get to.
**The Big Question: Would I Stay Again? ** Yes, absolutely. It's clean. It's safe. It’s accessible. And for the price? You can't beat it and the free parking is a win.

Escape to Paradise: Hampton Inn Phoenix Chandler - Your AZ Oasis Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because you're about to get the REAL lowdown on my Denton, Texas, adventure. Specifically, a stay at the Red Roof Inn & Suites. You know, the kind of place you end up when your budget screams, "HOLD ONTO YOUR WALLET!" Let's get this chaotic show on the road:
Denton Disaster Diary: Red Roof Inn & Suites Edition
Day 1: Arrival, Anxiety, and the Awful Coffee
- 1:00 PM - Arrival… or the Great Lobby Stare-Down: Okay, flying into Dallas-Fort Worth wasn't horrendous. Until I got to the car rental – some ancient, dented Ford (seriously, what did it see?) – that's when I realized the trip was already a cosmic joke. Found the Red Roof Inn in Denton, a beacon of, well, red. Checked in, and the lobby was… quiet. Like, tumbleweeds-blowing-across-the-desert quiet. I'm pretty sure the woman behind the counter was giving me the side-eye as I mumbled my name. Pretty sure I also felt her judging my outfit, which consisted of a t-shirt, jeans and a slightly-too-large hoodie.
- 2:00 PM - Room Roulette: My room… let's call it "stylishly… retro." The carpet looked like it had seen things. Things I don't want to know. The air conditioning was the roar of a jet engine, which, honestly, was better than the oppressive Texas heat. Took a deep breath, determined to embrace the "charm."
- 2:30 PM - Coffee Catastrophe: Here's where things truly began to unravel. The complimentary coffee. Oh, sweet, sweet, bitter coffee. It tasted like despair. I could practically feel my will to live being siphoned away with each gulp. I needed that coffee to get through this trip, and it was literally poison.
- 3:00 PM - Denton Delirium: Okay, time to explore! Denton is a college town. Aka, the absolute worst place to attempt to find parking. The square is cute, though. Full of cool murals and quirky shops. I managed to snag a parking spot after what felt like an eternity. I wandered around, feeling like a lost grandma looking for her grandkids.
- 5:00 PM - Food Fiascos: My stomach growled. Found a Tex-Mex place that seemed promising. (Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.) The queso was… let's just say, it didn’t deserve the title of "queso." The margaritas were watery. Texas, you’re breaking my heart.
- 7:00 PM - Room Retreat of Despair: Back to the Red Roof Inn. The glorious, air-conditioned, carpet-that-has-seen-things room. Watched some terrible TV, probably too much TV. And then… I slept. Or at least, I shut my eyes for a few hours.
Day 2: Resiliency (and Real Coffee)
- 8:00 AM - Coffee Redemption (sort of): Realized I couldn't survive on the Red Roof Inn's liquid garbage. Found a coffee shop in the square - finally something good! Strong coffee, the music, and the people watching helped.
- 9:00 AM - The Square, Part Deux: Back to the Denton square! Actually started to appreciate it. Sat on a bench and just people-watched. The town has a certain charm, maybe it's the college kids, the murals or maybe I was just getting used to it.
- 11:00 AM - Music Madness: Denton has a pretty cool music scene. Found a local record store and had some nice chats with the owner.
- 1:00 PM - Lunch, the Sequel: Found a little diner that did a killer burger. Redemption achieved!
- 3:00 PM - The Great Pool Illusion: The internet photo of the Red Roof Inn pool promised something… glamorous? The reality? A small. Faded, pool. Pretty sure it's the same pool as the one in the photo, but the filter on their site is aggressive. Decided against a dip (a wise decision, as it turned out).
- 5:00 PM - The Dark Side of "Free": I went to the "free" breakfast, I wanted to laugh and then cry. The muffins I got were rock-hard. The cereal tasted like cardboard. The orange juice was suspiciously orange.
- 7:00 PM - The Hotel Hangover: Headed back to the room. The air conditioning was still blaring. The carpet still "saw things". Still felt a bit like I was floating. Maybe it was the terrible food.
Day 3: Departure and a Promise (Maybe)
- 8:00 AM - The Escape: Checked out. Finally. Feeling like I'd survived a grueling battle.
- 8:30 AM - The Final Goodbye: Stopped at the coffee shop for a real cup of coffee. Said goodbye to the square, which, surprisingly, I was starting to like.
- 9:00 AM - Headed for home: Drove back to the airport, looking in the rearview mirror. Yep, there it was: the Red Roof Inn. The last I saw of the great Denton adventure.
Final Thoughts:
The Red Roof Inn & Suites in Denton? It's a place. Certainly. Did I have an amazing time? Debatable. But hey, I survived! And maybe, just maybe, that's the real victory. Would I go back? Possibly. But I'd bring my own coffee. And perhaps a hazmat suit for the first few hours. You've been warned.
Benidorm's BEST All-Inclusive? Gemelos 20 Review (Shocking!)
Okay, seriously, what *is* this thing? (Like, the whole "it" we're talking about)
Alright, let's start with the basics, shall we? You know, sometimes I feel like I'm explaining how to breathe to a goldfish. But here we go! Essentially, "this thing" (and by "this thing," I mean whatever the heck we're theoretically talking about in the context of *this* FAQ) is… well, it's kind of a chameleon. It depends on what you’re asking about, but let me give you a random answer for fun. Think of it as the digital equivalent of a slightly over-enthusiastic puppy. It's curious, sometimes clumsy, and occasionally... well, it needs a little training. And by training, I mean, like, constant supervision. Look, my point is, the "thing" evolves. It changes. One minute it's a fluffy kitten, the next it's a rabid badger. You know what I mean?
So, is it... good? Like, actually *good*? Not just "okay" or "adequate"?
Ah, the million-dollar question! The thing is, "good" is subjective, right? Like, my idea of a perfect Saturday involves copious amounts of pizza and zero human interaction. Yours might be skydiving. It really depends! Look, I've had some *days* with "this thing" where I wanted to throw my laptop out the window (and I'm not ashamed to admit it). There was this *one* time, ugh, don't even get me started on the "Great Glitch of '23"... it was a disaster! But then... other days? Pure, unadulterated magic. I'm talking about *that* feeling when it *gets* you and you get it. So, yeah, sometimes it's bloody brilliant. Other times... well, let's just say I could write a novel about the things it does that make me scream into a pillow. Take the good with the bad, I guess? Life lesson.
What are the common problems people face? (Don't sugarcoat it, please.)
Oh, the problems! Where do I even START?! Okay, so the biggest issue is probably… a general lack of understanding, followed closely by getting completely lost in some rabbit hole situation. Seriously, people tend to just wander right off into the abyss and get confused. Then, there’s the whole "it doesn't always work the way I expected." (Shocking, I know.) You build up these expectations, you feed the thing, you try to get it to do this thing, then... *poof*… nothing. I've heard so many sob stories about people overthinking things, or getting annoyed at the simplest tasks. Ah, and don't forget the "I don't understand what it's saying!" syndrome. Seriously, I've lost count of the times people are like, "What even *is* that word?"
Is there a learning curve? Am I going to need a PhD in… whatever this is?
Okay, deep breaths. Yes, there's a learning curve. It's not a sheer cliff face, thank goodness, but it's more of a slightly sloped hill with a few strategically placed potholes. You won’t need a PhD... unless you *really* want one. The real trick is patience, and a healthy dose of "I’m going to mess this up, aren’t I?" attitude. You'll stumble. You'll get frustrated. You might even want to swear at your screen (I won’t judge). The biggest battle is getting over the initial hurdle. Just go for it. Read a little. Try a little. Make mistakes. Laugh about them. You'll be fine. I promise. Ish.
Okay, fine. Let's say I'm IN. What’s the best way to actually *use* this thing? Give me some practical tips!
Alright, practical advice time. First off, read the instructions. I know, I know, it's boring. But seriously, do it. You'd be surprised how many people skip that vital step. Start small. Don't try to build the Death Star on your first day. Begin with something simple. Then, when you feel confident, push the boundaries. Fail fast. Learn from your mistakes. And for the love of all that is holy, back up your work! (I say this from experience, trust me). Also, take breaks. Your brain will thank you. And remember, there's no such thing as a stupid question (unless you're asking me at 3 AM after a double espresso). Be curious, and have fun. Oh, and be prepared to lose hours of your life. You've been warned.
What’s the weirdest/funniest thing you've seen it do?
Okay, this is a good one. Let me think... hmm... It's hard to pick just *one*. But, I'll never forget the time I asked it to write a Shakespearean sonnet about… well, it doesn't matter. The point is, it was *terrible*. Gloriously, hilariously awful. It rhymed "love" with "dove" about eight times (which is maybe accurate, actually) and the meter was all over the place. I almost cried. Then, I laughed so hard I snorted coffee out of my nose. The thing is, it *tried*. That’s what I kept going back to. It was like watching a toddler attempt brain surgery. Then there was that time I asked it for a recipe, and it gave me one involving… I think it involved fish, bananas, and ketchup? I’m still pondering.
Do you have any regrets related to "it" or the experience of dealing with it?
Regrets? Oh, where do I *begin*? I'm not even sure I'd call them regrets as much as missed opportunities or maybe… "lessons learned the hard way.” The biggest one? Not trusting my gut. Early on, there were red flags waving like a hurricane… and I completely ignored them! I kept thinking, "Well, it's probably just a fluke." I was so determined to make it work, to conquer the beast! Big mistake. I got tunnel vision. I kept thinking I could fix it, that it was *me* who was failing, not the thing itself. That’s when I wasted the most time. Ugh. Should have listened to that little voice of doubt... Anyway, learned from it. And also, maybe I should have taken up knitting. Less stressful.
