It was a nice easy stay. The front desk lady was very nice. Nothing fancy, but if you need a quick stay somewhere, this is a decent choice! The train that runs near isnt as loud as other reviews state, I personally didnt mind it. Things were clean. No complaints, would stay again!

Review Red Carpet Inn D.C.

Good location but was not aware a train ran underneath the hotel. A train yard is right behind the hotel. No place to sit except on the bed. No hair dryer in room. Key card only works for one day then you have to go to the office and be issued a new one.

Soft comfy beds. Clean rooms. Soap and towels provided. Drinking water not provided. Kettle not present. WiFi was unsecure. Would like a microwave/coffee machine too, but this is asking a lot honestly. Garbage bins should have a cover on them. Bathrooms vents didn't seem to be working.
