Red Carpet Inn & Suites

We left that night and drove another 20 minutes to Marriot. The room here was filthy, with hair everywhere, mold, and a dirty towel. The door lock didn't work, and the other back door wouldn't lock properly either. After arriving late from a long drive from Boston, the place felt sketchy and I didn't feel safe. There was armed security in the lobby, and the reception was behind glass. I couldn't tell if it was bulletproof.

The rooms were dated but clean, and the staff were friendly when I needed a room change, had a broken microwave, or needed replacement keys after losing about ten of them. Housekeeping was also very nice and quick to help with requests. I've stayed at the rate carpet several times over the past couple of months, including one stay of more than a month. It works well for getting around Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Center City, with easy access to the PA turnpike and 95. Parx Casino, Franklin Mills Mall, Sesame Place, and a skating rink right next door are nearby. The rink is great for young adults, though I wouldn't really call the hotel kid friendly. A lot of guests seem to be adults looking for a short getaway or weekend hideout.

The room was fairly large, and there's a skating rink across the street. I was staying at Red Carpet while moving apartments, but saw a roach on the second night. The two housekeepers were rude and told me, “no pay no stay” as I was on my way to extend my stay. It's a cheap place, so I guess you get what you pay for.

The building and rooms smell awful, like mold and stale, musty air. I stayed here before and that visit was decent, but now you can't open the windows or balcony door, so the rating drops. The windows and balcony are barred, and nobody warns you when booking. You only find out from a sign at check-in.
