Red Roof Inn opens in Hutchins, Texas

Red Roof Inn Hutchins is now open in Hutchins, Texas. The 41-room hotel is owned and operated by Jay Patel as his first hospitality venture.

Red Roof Inn Hutchins is close to Dallas and attractions including the Cold War Air Museum, Trinity River Audubon Center and Trinity Forest Adventure Park, Red Roof said in a statement. Red Roof Inn Hutchins is pet friendly and is part of the RediRewards program from Red Roof. The hotel also takes part in Red Roof's RediClean program.


Patel was introduced to Red Roof by a friend and existing franchisee.

"Red Roof's team has supported me throughout this project, from start to finish," Patel said. "Special thanks to Alex Shamsuddin, Red Roof's Regional Vice President of Franchise Sales, who collaborated closely with me to secure permits for the ideal location in Hutchins, Texas. The robust logistics industry in our county, coupled with other significant businesses and local attractions, sets our hotel up for success."

Matthew Hostetler, chief development officer at Red Roof, welcomed Patel to the brand.

"Jay's dedicated and enthusiastic approach to hotel development is evident in the quality of his property in Hutchins,” Hostetler said. “This new Red Roof Inn distinguishes itself amidst local competition with its well-appointed rooms and prime location. Congratulations to Jay and his team on this successful development."

In June, four new Red Roof properties opened. These additions include Red Roof Inn & Suites in Thomasville, Georgia; Red Roof Inn Kimball, Tennessee – I-24; Red Roof Inn & Suites Duncan, South Carolina; and Red Roof Inn in Greencastle South – Cloverdale, Indiana.
