Red Roof® helps those in need affected by the pandemic including students, first responders, healthcare and remote workers

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As we close 2020 and look to 2021, Red Roof®, the leader in upscale economy lodging, is continuing to support some of the pandemic's most affected communities: students, first responders, healthcare workers and remote workers with programs tailored just for them, available at participating, select properties. In a challenging year for many, Red Roof is a hospitality industry leader, one of the first brands to offer pioneering programs to fill a pressing need; helping a range of audiences with significantly reduced rates, complimentary rooms and ongoing promotions to ease financial burdens, conform to restricted budgets or just offer peace-of-mind to those who have to forcibly quarantine away from family and friends.

"Lending a helping hand wherever we can, is a core value at Red Roof," says Marina MacDonald, Chief Marketing Officer, Red Roof. "Strong, impactful programs designed to alleviate the concerns and needs of specific communities are sought now more than ever. At Red Roof, we continue to take the lead as we march into 2021, offering a comfortable, safe place to stay, work or study for students, first responders and healthcare and remote workers."

College and university students who will be returning to school in January and may have to quarantine, can comfortably stay at a Red Roof property near campus and enjoy a 25% discount on current rates through March 31, 2021 using VP code 627535. Students must show valid college identification to receive the 25% discount. Rooms include Fast. Free. Verified. WiFi* that will allow students to be connected and engaged with virtual learning and e-classes during their stays. Pets can travel with students and always stay free**.

The First Responders program offers our brave police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and healthcare workers a 20% rate reduction for stays through June 30, 2021 with VP code 627587. First responder guests must provide valid medical, firefighter, or police identification. These workers can also use the code, REFRESH for a special rate when they need to take a break before or after a shift.

Using promo code, OFFICE, those who are still working from home can take a break and enjoy a highly reduced day rate from $39-59 until 6pm at select properties. The Work Under Our Roof day rate program provides safe, convenient and comfortable "workspaces". Rooms are available from 8am-6pm, 7 days per week, with same day check-in and check-out with reduced rates starting from $39. The Work Under Our Roof Day Rate provides a private and dedicated space to help those who may not have at-home offices or spaces conducive to working from home. No more than two (2) guests are allowed to check in to any one room when checking in under the day rate offer. The day rate cannot be used to host meetings.

The day rate program also extends to truck drivers with the code, BREAK.

All promotions require consumers to book direct at individual properties, via redroof.com (except for day rate) or by calling 800.RED.ROOF.

For guest convenience, many Red Roof locations are exterior corridor properties where separate hotel room doors open to the outside of the building, instead of an interior hallway. After check-in, guests drive to their room instead of walking through the building, reducing contact with interior touchpoints. Red Roof also offers an extensive communication package that includes Fast. Free. Verified WiFi*, free local and long-distance calls, fax, flat-screen TVs and a workstation, as well as complimentary, in-room coffee in most rooms. And as always, one well-behaved domestic pet - cat or dog - is welcome free of charge**.
