“Just about the worst motel I've stayed in”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I had called around before choosing this place. Let me tell you -- it is the cheapest for a reason. My son and I have severe allergies and asthma, and requested a non-smoking room. When we walked in -- we were greeted by the stench of cigarette smoke. And not just like the last person to stay had smoked in the room -- the walls were sticky with nicotine tar, like it had been a smoking room for the last 20 years. Hot water in the sink had to be muscled off to stop the dripping. There were about 10 channels on the TV total. My allergies were so bad due to how horrible the room was, I could not sleep more than an hour or two before having to wake up to get some fresh air!

The beds were exceptionally uncomfortable as well -- one staff member was relatively cordial, another was downright rude. I would suggest finding another place to stay and vote with your feet!

Room Tip: Find another hotel.

“NOT staying there again!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011

person found this review helpful

Not a very pleasant stay! Stayed in room 202. Carpet is sticky. There were crumbs or some kind of residue on the sink faucet. The bottom of the tub was stained with use, it was dirty looking. The soap dishes in the tub were cracked to bits with age. The toilet seat was scratched up. That bathroom really could use a make over!!

The 1st night I was there, I kept getting woken up from the neighbors slamming their door throughout the night. They also were blairing their tv.

We had to ask for towels, toilet paper, trash bags, etc. The maid really didn't do to much. We passed our dirty towels & trash to her at the door, she never stepped inside our room. And we stayed two nights.

BTW, I don't think there's an elevator.

“WORST HOTEL EVER!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Don't ever stay here to start off tv volume did not work in the room had to be moved to another room .
So we got settled in we had our 4yr old granddaughter with us went to sleep and got awakened by a crickets chirping very loudly in the ac unit inside the room that would not quit. Then @ 1:30 in the am were awakened by loud voices right outside our door by 8 drunk people who were yelling at each other we packed our bags and had to leave at 1:45am when we talked to the clerk @ the front desk for a refund she said she could not get in touch with management and that she only worked there and would not give us a refund. DO NOT STAY AT THE RED CARPET INN my husband and i have been together for 20yrs and was the WORST hotel experience ever!!!!!

“Crap hole!!! Dirty, Uncomfortable, Useless”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Due to a full booking at another nearby hotel I had to look into this hotel. It was getting a little late and the lobby looked ok so I thought what the heck I will give it a shot. Let me say upfront that if I had realized all the problems with this place from the beginning I would have left, but they weren't all evident up front, and thats why I write this review with hope I can spair some other unlucky person the trouble. The first thing I check regarless the hotel is the bed and the mattress for bugs, stains etc. The sheets appeared to be clean, and no evident bed bugs, but the matteress looked as if it had seen better days. Then I try to set up my laptop for a little work before bed, and forget it. The wireless they supposedly offer was basically useless; the couple times I finally did get hooked to it I was dropped within 10 min. After that I decide to just relax and watch TV only to find that it had few channels and the TV itself had fuzzy red, yellow, and green lines dancing accross the screen. After that I prepair to shower and get ready for bed to find the bottom of the tub pretty filthy... well there was good reason for this. As I finally force myself into the shower I realize the drain is barely draining hence the left over dirt from god knows how long since the last cleaning. Ok here comes the best part; Grab the first towl and unfold it, and light brown stains!!! looked as if someone had cleaned their rear end, rinsed it out and dried it!!! The other towel didn't have any obvious stains, but from that point on I wondered what if anything in this place was safe to use! There are many other things I could go on about, but to shorten up a bit I will simply say this. I wouldn't dare ever stay here again, and god forbid anyone have children in this place!!! Anyone giving this place a positive review either reviewed the wrong hotel, or has been living in a cave! Rating this place as terrible is giving it too much credit. I wish there was a diseased syringe catogory or rancid pig vomit catogory

Room Tip: Don't stay here

“Nice Getaway!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2011

We stayed at the Red Carpet this past Saturday. The pool was very relaxing, the room clean, and staff very friendly. The is a lounge on the premises called The Stumble Inn with live music on weekends. The Pizza Hut next door was also very good. We will be back!
