Red Roof Rolls Out Holiday Discounts as Millions Hit the Road

Holiday savings land as road trips swell

Red Roof is offering a new set of discounts aimed at people driving to see family this holiday season. The deals are timed for the busiest travel weeks and try to make short motel stops cheaper for families and solo travelers alike.

Industry estimates and recent consumer surveys show millions of Americans choose to drive during the holidays, not fly, which leaves the hotel market scrambling to offer value on popular routes. Red Roof’s promotion is small but obvious: it aims to catch the wave of road traffic by making nightly stays easier on the wallet.

For travelers who expect to spend hours on interstate and state highways, the value proposition is straightforward: pay less for a comfortable night and save time the next morning.

What travelers can grab: promos, dates and who qualifies

Red Roof says its holiday offers include reduced nightly rates, a percentage off for members of its loyalty program, and limited-time promo codes for new bookings. Specifics vary by property, but the company highlights savings for stays booked during the core holiday window and for one- or two-night stops common on long drives.

Loyalty members get an extra cut on rates, faster check-in and occasional room upgrades when available; sign-up is free and can be done through the hotel’s app or guest program. Promo codes mentioned in the release are active for a short window and apply to qualifying rates only; Red Roof encourages travelers to check specific dates and blackout periods at the property level.

A simple example: a two-night holiday stop that would normally cost a modest hotel budget could be cheaper by a night when these discounts are included.

Practical booking moves that help stretch a holiday budget

Travelers can use the deals best by planning short, midweek stops when possible and booking early in the promo window. Combine a loyalty discount with a promo code when the booking tool allows it; even small savings on each night add up on longer road trips.

Use the chain’s app for faster check-in and to see member-only rates; some properties also waive small fees for members. If you have flexible dates, search neighboring nights — weekend peaks can be pricier while a Tuesday night stop is often cheaper and quieter.

Keep receipts and note cancellation policies; holiday bookings can be stricter, and understanding fees helps avoid surprises.

Why Americans are choosing to drive this holiday and how hotels respond

Recent travel polls show many families prefer to drive for shorter holiday trips because it feels simpler and avoids tight flight schedules. Gas price swings and seat availability also push people to the roads; when flights are full or pricey, a car trip becomes attractive.

Rooms close to highway exits or near family hubs get higher demand, so chains like Red Roof focus promotions on those properties to capture passing travelers.

A quick look at Red Roof’s footprint and where to find the offers

Red Roof operates a network of economy and midscale hotels across the U.S., often near highways, suburban neighborhoods and small-city centers. The brand is known for simple, no-frills rooms and a focus on value, which makes it a natural fit for people stopping overnight during long drives.

To access the holiday prices, check Red Roof’s official booking channels — the company says offers appear in its app and on the booking page at individual hotels. Terms and blackout dates vary, and the chain emphasizes limited windows for promo codes, so travelers hoping to use a code should pay attention to expiry notices.

Customer service phone lines and hotel front desks can confirm a rate before travel; Red Roof also lists membership benefits inside its loyalty program materials.
