Owner was friendly and helpful with our late check-in. Bed is comfortable. The A/C works well. The cold air is blowing directly at the person's head while sleeping. If the air can be directed to he ceiling would be much better. The diverter valve for the shower is faulty. Water is coming out from the tub spout and shower head at the same time. As a result the shower is very weak and little water comes out. Enough food choices around the Inn. There is a rail line behind the Inn. Train's horn blast woke me up in middle of the night. Price of room is reasonable.

Red Carpet Inn is a decent motel. The floors are hard vinyl, which made it difficult to do my floor exercises. And the bathroom reminded one of a 1970's place. But everything worked just fine. It is owned by a family of Indian Americans and they were very nice and helpful. The area to the south of the hotel is kind of drug ridden, but you wouldn't know from the quiet peace of the hotel. If you are looking for a cheap motel that you need quiet at night and a pleasant owner, this is it.

The room was nice and clean. The grounds were messy and unkept. There was a lawn chair in the pool and the water was green. There clearly hadn’t been anything done to keep up with the pool. Staff was friendly and attentive

Great little hotel. I still love the single floor hotels that you pull up right to your room. Many times you see this type of hotel and you don’t have high hopes. But this one is amazing. Very clean, comfortable and easy to get to. Not fancy, just comfortable. Try it, I know you will like it.

Clean
At first I was skeptical about the motel because of the outside appearance, but was in town for an event and this was one of the only rooms I could get last minute. The owners were extremely nice upon check in and after getting to see my room, I was pleasantly surprised! The room is a bit dated, but it was so clean. I really can not say enough about how clean it was. Overall, this place is a 10/10! Nice owners and clean!

Lately I've been staying in motels in this area alot and after some not so good experiences, Red Carpet was a pleasant experience.So much so that I've just booked my third stay for this weekend. The staff at the front desk even remembered my name when I went back for my second stay. The rooms do seem a little outdated as far as decore goes, but they were very clean and comfortable as well as quiet.

Real Talk
Front desk guy was really nice and accomodating. Very brightly lit parking lot. Cold air. Hot water. For the price it did the job. Just needed a clean bed for the night, on a work trip. Stayed 2 nights and did not see any bugs until the morning I was leaving then inadvertently stepped on a big roach at the front door. Better one at the end that a bunch for 2 days! Decent stay for the price and no carpet!! Wood laminate floors. They need to update the website because the rooms and bed spreads look much better than the pics!
