Red Roof Inns
Red Roof Inn was incorporated by founder James R. Trueman in 1972. Its first Inn opened in Columbus, Ohio, with a single room rate of $8.50 in 1973. Today, Red Roof Inn has more than 325 locations, serves millions of guests each year and employs over 6,000 people. Over the last 30 years, the lodging company's commitment to quality growth has contributed to the creation of the Red Roof Inn identity, which represents value, consistency, and excellent service. Red Roof Inn will continue to grow through franchising, acquisitions and new development.
