Review Red Carpet Inn D.C.

Good location but was not aware a train ran underneath the hotel. A train yard is right behind the hotel. No place to sit except on the bed. No hair dryer in room. Key card only works for one day then you have to go to the office and be issued a new one.

Soft comfy beds. Clean rooms. Soap and towels provided. Drinking water not provided. Kettle not present. WiFi was unsecure. Would like a microwave/coffee machine too, but this is asking a lot honestly. Garbage bins should have a cover on them. Bathrooms vents didn't seem to be working.

The hotel stay was good enough to get a nights rest. This hotel is great for times when you are being budget friendly and it doesn’t matter where you stay at. There are some remodeling that needs to be done but other than it was ok

Typical Road Side Hotw

Not bad, but not great. Staff wouldn't look if we could check in early. Would only advise that check in was at three, it became apparent that half the hotel was empty so not sure why we couldn't. The did hold our bags for us but which was good.

Everything OK except the location

The location of the hotel is close to a very busy road (New York Ave). It is very difficult to cross the road or to take the car out of the hotel. Also this area of Washington DC is bad. The attractions of DC are minutes away and a Metro station is near by.
