What guests think

At Red Carpet Inn, reviews describe a budget stop that can be fine for a quick sleep, but with recurring concerns about odors and cleanliness and dated interiors, balanced by mentions of quiet rooms, value, and helpful staff.

Service feedback ranges from friendly, efficient help to reports of rude or unavailable staff and a case of food removed without notice. Several guests found beds uncomfortably firm and noted occasional hot water fluctuation, while a few highlighted spacious rooms. Location is convenient to highways for some, though signage can be hard to spot and the surrounding area drew a few negative comments. Expect a no-frills stay best suited to short, budget-minded stops.

It was a good hotel, not too busy, served its purpose for the weekend, only downside was hot water was sporadic, it was hot, then cold briefly before getting hot, not a big deal, but I do enjoy a steady shower, whether hot or cold without fluctuation, no big deal tho, room was clean, staff was friendly, and it served its purpose for a cheap getaway weekend!

Many years ago when the place was the Dutch Inn it was a nice place. My room was reasonably clean and that is the only good thing that I can say about this place. OK, I liked the location right off I-295, but there is no sign that you can see from I-295 and if you guess the wrong exit you will find yourself wandering through parts of South Jersey that you never knew existed. Mind you that I lived nearby for 36 years.Things that I really did not like: The parking lot surface is barely drivable. The passageways in the building are dirty and dark. My room was reasonably clean but the carpet was old and there was a giant water spot right above the toilet. There was barely any water pressure in the sink. The front desk looked like it belonged in a flophouse and one of the desk clerks had an attitude that made it clear that she would be more at home working in a flophouse. Sullen and nasty. This place has convinced me to never stay at a Red Carpet Inn.

For what I needed (place to sleep and shower/dress the next morning) it was fine I was surprised there was no elevator (i was on 2nd floor). Also, the signage for where to drive to get out of the property wasn't that good

Unfortunately we arrived very late and were ready to sleep immediately upon arrival but as I was getting into bed I noticed a sharp object in the bed to find glass and short hairs in the sheets. We had to ask for a new room which was slightly cleaner. Should’ve asked for a refund as I was deeply disturbed by getting into bed with glass

The entire facility was very outdated, dirty and smelled of mold and mildew. Carpeting on the stairs were ripped and torn. The room only had toilet paper, holes in the walls, no signal for the TV, cracked window, stained floors, AC/fan noisy, safety lock was broken off. My wife would not stay for the second night. Worst I have ever stayed in. Expedia should not be promoting this site.

I got a good night's sleep. Quiet, everything worked, bathroom surfaces looked ok. There was some odor of old smoke covered by cleaning products possibly, and the carpet was the only thing I was a little worried about. But overall, plenty of space and got what I needed for a relatively low price. It was also very convenient to where I needed to be the next morning, so that helped manage overall travel stress levels.

When I called to inform them I would be late, I spoke with a very nasty and rude desk clerk who goes by the name of Nina! Also, the language barrier was of no help! But she knows has to raise her voice! Thank goodness Jessica made up for that, she was very friendly and helpful!

It was far better than most of the other reviews. As for the complaints about bed bugs and roaches, we did not see any. You can tell that they are in the process of making updates. The room we stayed in had new carpeting. The only thing I can say that was still in need of updating or repair was the tub was rather worn and needed replaced or at least resurfaced. The staff was very friendly and helpful when the first room door would not open they quickly transferred us to another room.

Overall my stay at Red Carpet Inn at Gibbstown was ok. There was one bad situation. Sunday morning I left some food on my table. I returned a few hours later and it was gone. I didn't appreciate that but it is what it is. Aside from that everything was ok.

It was a ghost town. I felt bad but I could not stay there, once I looked at the room. It looked so rundown, I figured they needed the money. so I didn’t complain and didn’t ask for refund. I just scooted away.
