Red Carpet Inn - Windom | Book like an insider

What guests think

Reviews of Red Carpet Inn - Windom describe an older, budget-friendly motel with mixed experiences: cleanliness ranges from acceptable to poor with odors, service varies from welcoming to rude, and rooms feel dated with maintenance and comfort issues.

Many guests find the beds comfortable and the price reasonable for a short stay. Breakfast is consistently very limited, often just packaged pastries, cereal, toast, and coffee. Location is convenient in a small town with easy road access and nearby eateries. Expect a basic, no-frills stay with notable trade-offs.

I was in town for a 5 day job, and the price here was affordable, however for the condition, it was too much. Upon checking in, check in was easy but the check in lady kept telling me over and over not to smoke in the room. I don’t care, I don’t smoke, no big deal. Got to the room, and it smelled so foul, like dog feces. I had to open the windows and get my fan to air it out. So maybe they shouldn’t be worried about smokers when their rooms smell awful. I’d rather have a smoke smell than feces smell. Bed was relatively comfortable, but nothing in the room was very clean. Won’t stay here again if I’m ever back. Needs major remodel, or torn down.

Its older and things are painted over, instead of patching and sanding. Mattress should probably be replaced, it was kind of misshapen. Staff was fine, but the covid plexiglass should go away. Little Debbie snack cakes was aodd delight for the breakfast pastries. For the price this was a deal! We would stay here again.

This hotel is in dire need of a total remodel. Windows, doors, furniture ,carpet,and outside care. Red Carpet should be ashamed to have their name on this place and have the nerve to charge the amount of money.

Business trip with a stay overnight. Older hotel in a rural town, but they kept up the exterior of the building with easy access to the road and restaurants. Single floor hotel with interior room access. Room was comfortable but the toilet/shower room was a bit on the small size with a noisy vent fan. Room amenities were a bit dated, and needed to share an outlet, like TV, fridge, and microwave. Beds were comfortable and suited my needs for just an overnight stay. Staff was very pleasant and the continental breakfast was average with a good selection of cold items. Good stay for a good price for a rural town hotel.

The guy who checked us in was very rude. The carpet in the room was completely soaked and no doubt there is mold in there. They started knocking on our door at 9am to tell us checkout was at 11am. At 10:55 they started knocking on our door again. I understand you might want to clean the room so you can go home, but come on. Unfortunately there are only two options in town. Beware.

It was so cold in my room I ran the blow dryer for 20 minutes to help warm it up in there before taking a scalding hot shower. I slept with my pajamas on which I never do. I went to sleep with the heat on 85 degrees. I woke up at 3:30 am, finally warm enough to turn the heat down. Breakfast was cheap hostess donuts and no decaf coffee. This was the 2nd time in 3 weeks I've not enjoyed my stay. I gave it a second chance, never again!

After paying for a room we were told to find somewhere else to stay because it was too late at night and she didn't have time to take care of our booking. He said she already closed and reopened and that we had to find somewhere else to stay. She charged her card and now she's lying about it saying she didn't charge it but in our account it's been charged will not give us a refund and it's not their problem it's the banks or the card holders problem.

The people at the front desk were very rude. The place had a distinct smell of curry and marijuana. The continental breakfast was really poor, they had little debbie type snacks for breakfast laid out. The hot water would go out mid shower, multiple times. Witnessed a traveller getting turned away at 11pm, they said they wouldn't give them a room. We put out a sign for maid service, and nobody cleaned our room.
