⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Place to Stay! I had a really nice stay at the Red Carpet Inn! The room was super clean and comfy, and everything worked perfectly. The staff were friendly and very helpful — they made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. I lived there more than 3 weeks and it was perfect and peaceful. The location was very convenient too, close to restaurants, shops, and public transport. It was quiet and felt safe, which I really appreciated. Overall, a great place for a short or long stay — affordable, clean, and comfortable. I’d definitely come back again!

Good place to stay for the price.

The room was clean and the check in was very simple and easy. The room needs little update,but it serves it's purpose. Very close to the Great Lakes RTC.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Rooms were clean, the rooms were older but the staff has been updating them. I would classify this as a retro hotel. Pricing was wonderful, location was perfect. There is housekeeping and they come 1x a day take out trash, dust, vacuum and swap towels. They do not change your sheets. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. I was concerned with the mix of good and bad reviews but after being there with a few family members with a few different rooms, it's a great choice for a budget.

So so for the money

It’s very dated and not very clean. The bathroom floor had a soft spot and you feel like you’re going to fall through to the room below. No one cleaned our room in 4 days or emptied the trash. The tv is hung on the wall above a tall dresser so if your on the bed you have to stand up to change the channel.

The location near the naval recruit training center. Very convenient. It was very nice to park next to the room on the 1st floor. It made bringing luggage to the room very easy. I wish they served a hot breakfast. We had to find a place to eat breakfast.

My family had to move rooms 3 times. The 1st time the room smelled and it was not cleaned properly. The 2nd time was the next night when we saw a roach and rat poop and finally the last room was the family room which was very clean, quiet and well maintained.
