I was in Atlantic City celebrating my 21st, and didn't want to pay the ridiculously priced Saturday rates in most of the hotels in Atlantic City, So, my boyfriend and I opted for the Red Carpet Inn, since it was only a fraction of the price of most hotels. To be honest, you get what you paid for. I was hesitant in staying at Red Carpet, but my stay was very pleasant. The receptionists were attentive and courteous. They were really nice to us. They were lenient in our late check-out (we were recovering from the previous night's booze-fest haha), and even let us park the car in their lot after checking out, giving us some time to eat and walk on the boardwalk. When we first came into our room, it smelled like someone sprayed air freshener on every surface of the room. We had to keep the door open to air it out. But afterwards, everything was smooth sailing. Bathroom was a little old and rusty, but still fairly clean. The comforter was old and had holes, so we decided not to use it and crank up the heat instead. We had free Wi-Fi, free cable, free pastries in the morning-- hey, we weren't complaining. But it doesn't compare to a nice standard room in a Hotel/Casino. If you're staying on a weekday, find a nice hotel, as rates would probably be pretty inexpensive, and you get to enjoy luxuries that you can't find in a motel. Red Carpet is if you're on a budget or need a decent place to crash for the night. The only reason we even considered an inn/motel was because our trip fell on a Saturday to Sunday stay, and prices were really high. Plus, we knew that we wouldn't spend that much time in our room. We didn't want to spend $300 to $400 for a room we'd barely stay in. We went to the casinos and clubs, and came back at 5 in the morning. Great service, good price, decent place.
