COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ready for a road trip?

"Winter is a great time to travel but it's also one of the best times to save," says Marina MacDonald, Chief Marketing Officer, Red Roof Inn. "We want budget-conscious consumers to know that Red Roof is on their side with incredible deals and discounts that will make any type of journey possible, whether it's personal or business or just pure fun. With comfortable, safe Inns from Florida to California and everywhere in between, we're looking out for them everywhere and all the time."

Competitors like Wyndham Rewards require 15,000 points for a free night.

Last-minute travel booking has risen substantially thanks to the internet. Forty-four percent (44%) of leisure travelers and 56% of business travelers in the United States book at the last minute, and 34% of these travelers book a trip of 0 to 3 days in duration.¹ In addition, 79% of travelers believe that last-minute trips boost their happiness, while about two thirds stated that spontaneous trips make them more productive at work (61%) and reduce their stress levels (68%). What stops them from spontaneity is the difficulties in finding affordable and quality accommodation.²

No credits or refunds for early departures, cancellations, no shows or other reservation changes. The deal is non-commissionable and may not be combined with other offers or promotions.
