Red Carpet Inn & Suites Danville, VA

Looks like my review from a few years ago is gone so now I'm back to inform the people. Friends and I did a road trip to visit the now closed tank museum and got to the hotel around 12:30 at night. I had called ahead around 9:30 to ensure we could check in a little late and they assured us it was fine and to drive safe. Upon trying to check-in I was informed that because none of us were 21yrs old (19 back then) that my reservation wasn't valid and we couldn't stay there even if we were going straight to bed and leaving in the morning because (and I quote) "There was a lot of bad kids around here and they did a lot of damage, its against the law so if I let you stay they'd shut us down". So guess who was stranded in the middle of Virginia past midnight after a 7hr drive because of some made

I was not expecting the Ritz Carlton and I did not get it. The Red Carpet Inn is an elderly establishment that is slowly being updated. But the three day price special and I wanted to visit friends in Danville...so why not?||||The lobby evidently was on the end of the renovation list. It was small and worn but the coffee was good and the 'good ole gal' manager seemed to be more than willing to help.||||I got a single with a giant bed and was delighted that the room was very clean with a microwave and fridge and a . really great television. The bath was for the most part fine but did have a tendency for the hot water to go instantly to freezing cold which tended to keep me alert. The towels were abundant and thick. The linen on the bed was the best with a high thread count that felt like g

If you need a place to simply crash for a few hours, OK, it may suffice... but when I realized we had 4 nights to spend here, I really wasn't happy. Stale smoke smells filled the room. The floor was filthy; my new socks literally turned BLACK within minutes. The bathroom has unfinished paint, caulk & grout, so guaranteed there's mold behind those tub walls. There's was something yellow on the bathroom wall that "splashed" onto the blue paint, I don't even want to know what that is. The bed linens were very thin and cheap, I didn't want to touch them honestly. It just felt nasty. We left early and had to argue for a refund of the last 2 nights (he only wanted to give us 1. The policy on the door entitles us to 2 based on our situation). Just not a pleasant experience overall.

Gross. Found two dead roaches in the bathroom. Room desperately needs a thorough cleaning and updating. Thumping noise in wall. Bed linen is not fresh and clean. If you stay here bring the Lysol and a can of Raid .... or a match.

The staff were beyond accommodating and the rooms have been recently remodeled so other than some unfinished spots it was very new and renovated. This hotel is by far the best and safest for the price. The bad reviews are all old and they aren’t even owned by the same company anymore and have renovated in 2020, so many bad reviews are not accurate at all, check the dates. They have the beds covered in bedbug protective covers and everything was very clean. I think this is comparable to a $85 per night hotel because it’s definitely much better than other hotels in the $55-$75 range. I will definitely stay again probably quite often. Thank you!
