Great Place to Stay!

I had a really nice stay at the Red Carpet Inn! The room was super clean and comfy, and everything worked perfectly. The staff were friendly and very helpful — they made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. I lived there more than 3 weeks and it was perfect and peaceful.

The location was very convenient too, close to restaurants, shops, and public transport. It was quiet and felt safe, which I really appreciated.

Overall, a great place for a short or long stay — affordable, clean, and comfortable. I’d definitely come back again!

Rooms were clean, the rooms were older but the staff has been updating them. I would classify this as a retro hotel. Pricing was wonderful, location was perfect. There is housekeeping and they come 1x a day take out trash, dust, vacuum and swap towels. They do not change your sheets. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. I was concerned with the mix of good and bad reviews but after being there with a few family members with a few different rooms, it's a great choice for a budget.

Than the next day I woke up and found a big ass roach on the vanity. I came down for navy graduation so all hotels were sold out so I had no other option to stay here.

We changed 3 different rooms in just 1 day! The first room was on the very far end of the 2nd floor. Very dark and the furnitures were like in the 50's. Smelly!
The 2nd room has broken bathroom door broken; i can't close and lock it. The front door where the chain was connected to the trim came off and fell on the floor. It looks like someone push it hard from the outside that the door trim got busted. This concerned me very much. All night long people above us kept on stomping their feet. Walking all night long. We were not able to sleep. To make matter worst, 5 am they turned the music on so loud! I couldn't call the front desk afraid of retaliation. (if you can call it a front desk. A small window with a glass and a bar. I guess for their own security).

The following day before the check out, I complained and demanded my remaining 2 nights to be refunded. Fortunately, they did.

The place is so run down, Disgusting! I don't believe there are other costumers checked in. Very few cars parked at the parking lot. It makes me wonder how this place still in business.

No one ever cleaned our rooms we stayed 5 nights and our sheets never got changed we only got towels cause we had to ask and they refused to give us more towels. No remotes or batteries. No one asked us if we needed anything or any trash taken we had to do it all ourselves. As a navy family we are very upset we had such a horrible experience.

There was water in the bathtub with a drain stopper in place. There were no towels. When I went to the counter to request, they gave me 3. Mind you, it’s a family room. I told them there’s 6 of us. He said there’s no laundry lady today. We had to wait a whole day for towels. Unacceptable.

Bathroom door has a hole in it plus is cracked at the bottom making it difficult to open and close. Mold or something on the bathroom ceiling. Black cob webs in the bathroom.2 towels for 3 people. Heating/cooling system was either broken or hard to understand. Slept in a 63 degree room. The only thing good was the beds were soft and cable tv. Falls under “you get what you pay for”

Do not book

This hotel was absolutely not as advertised. The pictures on the sight are not at all what this property looks like. The room was very dusty. Beds very uncomfortable. Only 3 small towels in the room stains on the bed spread. The room has not been thoroughly cleaned. I bought my own cleaning supplies to disinfect and clean up the room. The outside of the hotel looks horrible broken windows, trash outside of other rooms. It’s very gloomy, the fridge was nasty and old. The phone dirty carpet dirty. I’m very disappointed and feel that I was duped. Beware of cheap hotels. The price may seem good but it’s definitely not worth it. Fuzzy tv. Thin walls. Dull lighting. Very much false advertising.
