The place is horrible. The only good thing is that the water was hot. So we got burnt in
more than one way. They charged $200 a night for a dump site. They should have paid us to stay. Dirty and in MAJOR need of remodeling or maybe better yet... condemning.
Not to mention that on top of the outside walls being paper thin, the bathroom windows were open when we got there and would NOT close. It was in the low 30's/upper 20's that night. Light switch plates had NEVER been cleaned. NO fridge or M/W as advertised and certainly not remodeled (from the looks of it EVER!) Just keep looking and drive by this place what ever you do.

I just completed a three week stay in this motel. It is located in a rural area and is clean, quiet, and a good value for your money. I received a economical weekly rate. The room was well apportioned with everything I asked for: a fridge, microwave, iron, and ironing board. It is only three miles from shopping and well-known restaurants and a convenience store is located across the street. Each ground floor room has a small patio with two chairs overlooking the very clean pool. There is adequate parking including over-sized vehicles. The owners, Wanda and Todd who live on the property, will go out of their way to provide for guests and to make them happy. This is an older motel with some of the problems that hard water with high iron content will have; i.e. calcium deposits on the sinks and iron stains in the toilet. However, they are CLEAN just stained. The maids were very attentive and as a woman alone I felt very safe. I too read the awful reviews before staying but I was pleasantly pleased. Please remember that you are not staying in a five star hotel and therefore, are not paying five star prices. Thanks Wanda and Todd and I will see you next year! This is a good businessman's motel!

So, I booked my stay at the Red Carpet Inn with apprehension after reading the previous reviews, but I did see that the motel had been remodeled in 2004, so I made the AWFUL mistake of thinking it couldn't be as bad as described. Let me assure you that it was all that and more! I took pictures with my camera, but the lighting was so poor in the room that they don't do justice to the filth covering everything. I checked in late race weekend and was nervous to be paying over $200 a night, when the motel normally rents for $30-$40-can you say price gauging?!? I got my keys to the standard 2 double bed room with mini-fridge, microwave and WI-FI that I had been guaranteed upon booking. Needless to say, it was not what I expected- there was no microwave, no mini-fridge and no working internet. Actually, very little worked in the room. I immediately wanted to scream knowing that I was locked into a 2-night stay and $430 bill for the nastiest room I had ever laid eyes on. I literally had to buy lysol to spray on everything before I touched it. I also purchased, sheets, pillows, towels, wash cloths and in no way touched any body part to anything in the room or bathroom. There was literally dirt, NOT stains on the floor, shower, tables, walls, etc. The room reeked of some unknown smell and they was a bizarre rod stabbed through the ceiling--nice touch I add!! why in the world would that be their? There was also some type of mold looking stuff on the ceiling and the wallpaper was peeling off. I was literally in the motel from heck!! When I looked at the tops of counters, there was a thick film of dirt, sticky stuff and old cup rings. The pool, which I didn't plan on swimming in anyway, was half filled and brown with scum. FILTHY!!! I can only say one good thing about the place, upon check-in, the staff was extremely nice, but they must not have a conscience since they rip people off, false advertise and let people sleep in those unsanitary rooms. The place should be condemned! My favorite part of the entire thing is...upon leaving our room (we left ALL sheets, towels, blankets, etc there b/c nothing touching that room was coming back into my house) is that I couldn't even talk to anyone about my stay at check-out, I had to simply put my keys in a basket and the door was locked! Classy!! I guess they were scared to talk to people after they stay there, I would be too!! I called the Red Carpet Inn to share my experience with them and spoke with the owner. She basically told me tough luck, that I wasn't guaranteed a microwave and mini-fridge, even though it said (on the website) that I got one with my disgusting $200/night room. She didn't care about my comments and said it didn't matter what I wrote on this board or felt because someone would rent their rooms for race weekend anyway! It appalls me that they get away with this and I encourage everyone to boycott the Red Carpet Inn. They jack up the price to 5 times the normal rate and you are sleeping in filth! Please stay anywhere else or stay in a tent, trust me, it is cleaner!! Don't stay here and let them know they cannot treat people like this and maybe they will learn not to have a conscience and not rip people off!!

The maid at this hotel is so very helpful.She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and if we didn't she made sure she fixed it.I just wish she had more help because she seemed to be worked to death.There was also a very nice man there with glasses that was pleasant and very helpful.I think he must've been the handy man.These people deserve a raise!As far as the lady in the front office,she seemed very harsh and not very friendly and she talks too loud!
