What guests think

At Red Crown Inn, travelers often find friendly, accommodating service and surprisingly updated rooms at budget prices, though the exterior and some common areas feel dated, reflecting an older property undergoing gradual renovations in places.

Many guests describe rooms as very clean, but a few reported serious lapses such as stained bedding, dirty linens, and even pest droppings. Rooms are simple with microwaves and mini-fridges; Wi‑Fi feedback is mixed, and occasional maintenance or noise issues appear (shower doors, beds, loud equipment or nearby activity). There is no breakfast or coffee, and on-site food options are minimal, while the location is convenient to highways and shops. Expect a basic, affordable stay with helpful staff and variable extras.

Not well lit in entry and lobby at night. The curtain over the window was not light blocking at all! The hallway was very narrow. Back stairs were metal and looked rickety. No frills, older, basic, motel that has had some cosmetic updates. The room was recently painted and floors were updated. Bathroom had been recently renovated. The bed wasn't terrible, just okay comfort wise. The towels were a bit thin and rough.I booked based on a review rating average of 8/10. I question those high reviews. When we went to check our room, someone was laying across the hallway, passed out, blocking our way. I was afraid they had OD'd. We told the night manager who came and roused the apparent guest. They had a key and staggered into their room. Yikes.If it hadn't been so late when we arrived I likely would have left, sacrificing our room fee.

It was a very easy check in. There are no elevators so you have to walk up several steps. Our room was average. The bed was adequate for one night. There were old stains on the box spring mattress covering. The towel to put on the floor was dirty and dingy and still hanging up on the rack. One of the wash cloths was frayed and should of been replaced. One other thing to note is the shower door constantly opened up when showering, so I had to put a washcloth in between the door to keep it closed, this should be fixed. We did use the microwave which was sufficient but could of stood a cleaning. Overall the place was doable for a night or two. The area had lots of stores so it was good for getting what you needed like toiletries and food. Would I stay there again, I highly doubt it.

From the outside, it is a bit shady; all paperwork is done by hand. But, the rooms are newly renovated, which is rare in motels. Really clean and nice rooms. There are no smells, and it is all brand new.

The hotel location is very close to restaurants and stores. We will be back in new couple of weeks in the area and there is no reason why we should not stay here. It is a hidden gem.

The check-in process was fine, a gentleman was having some trouble with the computer system but all issues were addressed as soon as possible. The room itself was great! Bed was comfortable and sheets were good quality. The room had clean wood-like flooring, a microwave and mini fridge. The room was exactly as pictured. The place does not look like much from the inside but you can see the place is improving. Would stay here again because of location and my expectation were met for a comfortable stay.

The location is fairly good. Not very far to get to 95, Route 1, or the BW Parkway. The wall heating units are very noisy when coming on or going off. Both the regular motor sound is very loud, and sometimes there's a high-pitched squeaking when between run cycles. Makes it very hard to sleep. Had a very loud neighbor the 2nd night, across the hall from me. He was on his phone loudly for almost 2 hours, from about 6am to 8am. It look a long time for the hotel staff lady to tell him to be quiet. It was only after the 2nd time I told the staff, that they said something. Just one lock on door. Check-in process is very long. Found a couple hairs from past tenant. One on washcloth. One on the bedsheet. Would probably look elsewhere next time.

I liked the hotel to be honest the customer service was great. It was clean and the biggest issues for me is there is one entrance to the hotel and that is going through the front lobby. The other thing that was annoying was the internet service it was really slow and as soon as I left I started getting updates and messages. The bed in our room was not that comfortable either very hard and made noise as if it was broken.

Happy to find a place with inexpensive rooms on a graduation weekend and rainy night when everything else was closed.

Not far from a Starbucks and some strip mall stuff.
