The location was good. You can't check-in at this hotel but have to go to the one next door. When we got to the next door hotel to check-in to the Red Carpet Inn, the only staff member available was trying to explain to a couple of Japanese tourists about tour choices The couple could not make up their minds while several customers were waiting to be checked-in. After standing around for half an hour, I asked whether there was somebody else to check us in. There wasn't. Finally we got to the front desk and I asked why the Red Carpet Inn's website did not mention that there were no staff at the Red Carpet Inn to check us in. The front desk agent said that Expedia would have informed me. He was right - the booking confirmation from Expedia mentioned this fact in the fine print which I missed as I generally do not bother with fine print. After completion of the check-in, we asked for help unloading the car and transporting our luggage to the room. They normally do not provide this service, but one of the staff generously helped us. When we got to our room we found the door squeaked very loudly and ominously. We called it the "Haunted Hotel". The air conditioner and exhaust fan in the bathroom were both loud enough to wake the dead. Not recommended for the price we paid for the room. Expedia should have been more upfront about the poor quality and inconvenience.

Decent hotel

The hotel is in a good location, we had a first floor room that was clean and comfortable, but only 3 accessible electrical outlets to charge devices. It was also inconvenient having to check in/out at the hotel next door. However, I would stay there again as parking was included.
