Red Rock Lodge - Motel in Newport - 1280 Hastings Ave, USA

Cops creep through often. Other than that. , staff seems nice, bathroom looks nice. If u wanna feel like your in a 1990's movie, with your average cast of wayward teens, with the room ominously ringing in the background. This is your place. Worth the stay! I

The Red Rock offers a good weekly rate. We just sold our home and needed a place so we could visit with family before we left for Florida. The motel is clean and quiet, but in need of some TLC but we noticed that they were painting the outside and rooms seemed to have been recently painted. The neighborhood is wonderful, we took walks and felt very comfortable. Just a 5 minute drive is St. Paul Park that has 4 or 5 restaurants and bars all very good. In all I would stay again when needing a inexpensive motel.

First time visiting the area, which is on a busy little frontage road🧐. Went to visit someone staying there. Had a great visit👍. Heard a lot of negativity regarding management. -Which in all, 'a trained' professional manager would have been more customer friendly/accommodating/ knowledgeable on site regarding situations. Instead of .... "I'll say"....of the negative comments in which 'nagging' & use of there position, to make one feel lower then/ belittled/powerless, insensitive over a situation. which they had no control of. (Bluntly speaking, 'putting a muzzle on it' would have been the better choice for management, then some of the negative comments I couldn't believe when I heard them... ...🥴😲.) In all; -Was not bad location -Cleanliness good -Handicap Parking good -Plowed lot and salted sidewalks A+ thank goodness I didn't fall on my butt...lol - Thank You Red Rock Lodge for a somewhat good visit.

Major stains in the flooring, toilet, drawers, sheets, mattress, and bath tub. Looks like new paint on the walls. TV goes in and out. Staff is really nice. Water doesn't always get hot. Heat works. There's a mini fridge with a freezer section and a microwave. No trash can in the room. Lots of cable channels on a decent sized flat screen. Haven't seen bugs or animals in the room. Can't hear any neighbors. Very reasonable weekly price. If​ it was clean, I'd reserve a monthly. Hate filth, and the floor makes me lose my appetite. Big black stains. The toilet probably needs replacing it's so dirty.

Very nice stay. Rooms are very basic. You get mini fridge flat screen TV that mounts on wall and microwave. The owner is very nice, and is always there If you need her. They have weekly rates and it's a nice drive up hotel. We liked being able to park right by our room. The room itself was sorta dirty. All hard word floor so you're feet will get gross but that's to be expected since it can be hard to clean. I loved that they had community laundry, especially after staying for a week and having 3 kid's I needed to get laundry done which was a nice feature. They offer monthly rates as well for ppl looking not sure the price on that though. Our weekly was $365 plus taxes so I'm sure way more than that. Also very quiet which we loved. The guests just stayed to themselves. We never seen any cops there so not sure what others were talking about in previous reviews It seemed very safe to us. Only thing I would change or offer is maybe a mini playground since there seemed to be a lot of children there and some stay even months at a time. Also the location sucks so make sure you have a car. It's right off a busy hwy with no where to really walk too. Overall enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and cheap stay. :)

I booked 2 rooms back in April for this place. I was told they were mine, didn't need to give a card number yet they go on honesty/ word policy and I could give my card number closer to our August 11th stay over date. Then I called back 2 weeks ago and added a room, again I was told I didn't need to give my card number until it got closer to date of stay. Today I call to give my card number and they tell me they gave my rooms to some construction workers. That is terrible business practice and now I am warning the rest of the public in case you try and book here. I found a place over double in cost luckily but I really can not believe this business! Very disappointed!!!! And my husband is so pissed he says he just may pop in to let them know in person.

The saying "you get what you pay for" holds true most of the time so wasn't expecting more than one should for what it is- a small hotel, in a small town and only rents rooms on a weekly basis (reasonable price but highest rate in the metropolitan area). NYC native but moving back to the Twin Cities after a few years is why I wanted a budget priced, temporary/weekly rental until securing a more semi-permanent residence. Location is very good- right off main Hwy and 15min or less to anywhere in St. Paul/Mpls proper. My stay was 5wks consecutively- ample time to see the full scope of staying at Red Rock Lodge. Overall it's a good place especially for a weekly rate, budget friendly motel. Well maintained property with on-site washer/dryer laundry available. More quiet on a regular basis than you'd expect and has nice, cordial mannered staff. Medium-small size rooms with mini fridge/freezer, small shower/no tub bathroom and mostly clean walls to ceiling with pretty good furnishings although not much/sparsely furnished- a large flat screen tv with cable, comfy bed and 2 night stands sums it up. The only 2 "needs improvement" issues: the carpet cleaning services had been overlooked for too long but no bugs or foul odors. The only other 'fix now' issue is the wireless network connection- never stays connected longer than 13min at a time and takes a long time to connect at all- very slow and annoying limted connectivity- so come equipped with your own WiFi if you need internet. Honestly though, no seedy "weekly rate" element/vibe going on there such that middle-class accustomed folks like myself could feel at ease even with an extended stay. Overall, it's a 4 out of 5 stars rating for a small, value oriented motel. ☺
