Red Carpet INN Whippany

No

Room infested with bed bugs and absolutely filthy. We left and went elsewhere and were given a refund thankfully.

When I got to the property, there was police presence due to another guest. This presence only increased as my first night went on, and I’m fairly certain I heard a gunshot at some point. The room had bugs in the kitchenette area, and I don’t know if the stovetop was supposed to be functional, but it was destroyed. I’m also fairly certain I requested a non-smoking room, but someone had clearly been smoking in there due to the smell and the cigarette pack on the balcony (I don’t know if there were any in it, I didn’t touch it). I should’ve known the price was too good to be true.

The pictures of the hotel on this website must be about 10-15 years old. The hotel is extremely run down. The room we got had 3 metal bakers rack in it for furniture with a microwave sitting on one and a mini fridge on the floor. The sliding door was open, broken, and the replacement hook to jimmy rig it shut was also broken. The beds looked almost completely on the ground. We refused to stay for our safety. The hallway area smelled strongly of cigarettes and there were cigarettes on the floor. The hallway carpets were ripped and half the hotel, when we drove around the building when leaving, was boarded up. The clerk was prompt to refund us thankfully he must experience this a lot. But I strongly believe this hotel should not be on this site as it is not a safe location. The diner is long closed and even Google Maps lists the location as closed permanently.

Dirty , the ac was broken
