Red Roof Inn, founded in 1972 by James R. Trueman of Cleveland, Ohio, is an economy hotel franchise brand.   It believes a night's lodging shouldn't put you in the red. Red Roof Inn properties are often distinguished by the large dark-red shingle roof that gives them their name.

The original Red Roof Inn slogan was "Sleep Cheap." T-Shirts were sold at each Red Roof Inn location with this slogan.  The travelling public bought them up like hot cakes.  Between 1987 and 1988, Red Roof Inn's prices were increased due to inflation.  The prices of the chain, while still lower than most of its direct competitors, were too high to be cheap. Thus the slogan was changed to "Hit The Roof."

While popular with families, the brand caters to business travelers with such amenities as continental breakfast, meeting rooms, photocopy services, and wireless Internet access. It also offers larger suites and deluxe rooms with executive-style desks and microwave ovens.

In April 2007, Accor announced the sale of Red Roof Inn to Citigroup Global Special Situations Group and Westbridge Hospitality Fund LP for $1.32 billion.  As part of the sale, some locations were retained by Accor and converted to Motel 6.
