Reviews for Red Carpet Inn - Opelika
Review 1：the manager taking my money off my card before I arrive! I didn't like that at all. then I tried to tell him he wasn't suppose to do that and then he started insulting me and where I attended school instead of listening
Review 2：no towels in the room and when asked they acted as if we were lying and then only provided one towel and one washcloth for a party of two
Review 3：room was clean quiet and comfortable,very nice to get lil uniterupted rest in
Review 4：Forgot to realize that sleeping right next to the interstate was a loud experience.
Review 5：The location was great, the staff was friendly, and the room was clean.
Review 6：There is a limited availability of clean towels and washcloths, the curtains need to be removed. It is obviously a very old motel and the owner appearst o be in the process of renovating but I am not sure. It is a very low budget motel, but it is very inexpensive.
Review 7：1.They were very accepting of my pet 2. It is located right off of I-85
Review 8：Everything about this nasty facility. Booking.com should be ashamed to recommend it to clients!!!! Bad location in a hole off the highway. Unsightly with a foreign staff who hid behind a window and resented even our asking for a 2nd bath towel with two people in the room. There was no breakfast, one small bar of soap, no shampoo, no tissues and one role of toilet paper. We had to book 2 nights just to get a refrigerator and micro wave and would've been charged extra had we cancelled either night. They had no 'do not disturb' signs and whenever we left, they entered our room without permission both days. We deliberately set alert barriers they were unaware of. They spoke broken English and were rude. The health department should shutter this place!
Review 9：Absolutely nothing was likeable! There was no shampoo, soap, etc. and we had to ask for a 2nd towel to the dismay of the staff. They had NO Do Not Disturb Signs and entered our room without permission when we left to find a place to eat breakfast which was a McDonalds one block away. The bed pillows were nasty and worn out -- not fit for a person to lay their head on. There were blood stains on the sheets and the shower was filthy with an uncovered empty light fixture exposed in the shower.
Review 10：Really not. Problem unless u want pool. We stayed early spring and fallpool wasn't open and they have no bfast. Like I said restaurantsnear by its a nice clean, Quite hotel for money. If it's a littlenoisy just open door let your neighbors politely know they aredisturbing u or call there room
Review 11：Hotel is I think an d motel 6 : it's clean ,quite,close torestaurants,shopping and Auburn. We have stayed 3 times total 5 nights. Requested queen downstairs soft mattress because of hip and backissues. We got it! We stay two nights I put things outta the way theyclean room and put fresh towels and touched none! Of our belongings Iwill go back !
Review 12：The TV sucked the stations were static and nothing wanted to come in properly.
Review 13：the room was comfortable and clean felt safe there and every thing and the staff were very nice and helpful.
Review 14：Room was a bit stale. There was hardly any hot water. Had to take a warm bath. Not what I expected. It would be better for the staff to be able to communicate in English better. I was not overly impressed with the facilities.
Review 15：Location was ok.
Review 16：I didn't like that they weren't nice to me on the phone when I called after booking to ask a question about my arrival time.
Review 17：I liked how inexpensive it was and that it was clean.
Review 18：Sink pipes exposed shower had no step or lip to prevent water from going everywhere throughout the entire bathroom cops and ambulances in and out of the parking lot all night barley enough room to walk around let alone place luggage anywhere without being a saftey hazard
Review 19：The heater worked
Review 20：Some shady guests stay there too.
Review 21：This was a good bargain, only good for sleeping, but convenient for Auburn game with friends. The owners were nice and very accommodating though.
Review 22：First my card was not supposed to be charged until the day of the stay. It was charged one week prior. 2nd the bed was supposed to be queen size but it was full size. 3rd the smell of the room was horrible. 4th I was hung up on 4 times when calling about why my card was charged so early. 5th I will never stay here again.
Review 23：The staff was terrible. She charged my credit card before I could evencheck in. She was very very rude to me. She yelled at me and put me outon the sidewalk because I confused my check out date / time andwouldn't allot me two hours for my ride to come. The microwave inthe room didnt work. There is no hair dryer /iron/ironing board/ shampoo/ conditioner. And she kept walking into my roomwithout knocking. I was very very disappointed with the level ofcustomer service. She wouldn't even let me explain what hadhappeneded with my booking without yelling over me. This is the worstexperience I've ever had in a hotel. I will never return.
Review 24：The cost was decent. The wifi was good. The room was good for the price.
Review 25：I was assured on the phone that pets were allowed for $10 per night. When I arrived, I reminded the gentlemen at the counter that I had a pet and said it would be $20 for the two nights. I asked him to charge my credit car and said he preferred cash. I paid cash. The next morning, upon seeing our dog outside with us, I received a phone call ordering me to go to the office where I was questioned about whether I paid for the dog or not. He kept throwing the receipt on the counter and saying 'it's not written on here like these others'. He did everything but call me a liar. I didn't appreciate that and will not stay there ever again. Make sure you have a receipt if you pay for pets.
Review 26：Smelled cigarette smoke--probably from room next door as there was an adjoining door--closed and locked but not sealed at the bottom. Also, felt vibrations when someone was walking on deck--probably someone rather large.
Review 27：No loud, human talking or yelling
Review 28：Very poor customer service. It was down right awful. They didn't want to give us extra towels. The hotel is in desperate need of an upgrade.
Review 29：The location was very convenient.
Review 30：The price was great, but it was by far the nastiest place I've ever stayed in my 44 years. Air conditioning didn't work and all but 1 lightbulb was missing in all of the lights combined. My wife was the first one in and found the biggest roach she's ever seen in the bathroom. Never never never again!!!
Review 31：Price..........
Review 32：Room didn't lock, microfridge didn't work, outlets didn't work, bed was miserable and no where to sit in the room.
Review 33：I liked the fact that it was pretty clean and location was not bad.
Review 34：Quality of beds were both poor and old. Towels were limited to the exact number of guest and of cheap quality. Would only stay with similar or no other options. Would gladly pay for Hampton Inn or similar if availability were there.
Review 35：I booked a nonsmoking room yet the room smelled like smoke. The bedspread had cigarette burns. The sheets also had cigarette burns and stains. There was a washcloth, hand towel and another towel. They were old and I decided not to use them. No tissues in the bathroom. There was a half used roll of toilet paper and no replacement roll. The knob on the temperature control for the ac/heater was broken. The shower looked old and dirty and had a hole that was covered with electrical tape. I let the water run for a long time yet I never got hot water to come out. Needless to say I would not recommend this hotel or ever stay here again.
Review 36：Let's start with the room key we we're given was to a room already occupied! Next, the room had 2 midget double beds, when I had booked queens. No hot water and half a roll of toilet paper! The beds had a permanent crease. My bed was literally shoved next to the wall ac so I had freezing air blown in my face all night
Review 37：Absolutely nothing. Well I did like the couple in the room to which we were given a room key. I'm thankful they didn't shoot us when we entered their room. Seriously? How do u not know which rooms are occupied or not??
Review 38：I did not specified that I was not a smoker, only to find out that all available rooms were somokers and they really stink. I was sort of lucky that they had a room with a Queen Bed.mingot it, I asked the attendant to reimburse the difference, he said that it was my fault for not specifying. He didn't. The pillows felt like a folded sheet, almost non existent. Front desk was very rude. Be careful if you chose it.
Review 39：Location not far from Auburn, right next to highway
Review 40：The hotel leases to a low income weekly group of tenant's and those people where a bit scary. I would not take my family to stay at this hotel because of those tenants.
Review 41：I liked the nonsmoking room was really a nonsmoker room. The hotel management was nice and took care of switching my room because of a bad lock on 1st room.
Review 42：There wasn't enough towels in the room, so I went down to the front desk and asked for more. She didn't want to give us another towel. I wasn't going to sit there and argue with her. We were tired from the long drive. So we went an purchased our own from the store. So bring your own towels & tissue
Review 43：The room was clean & the location was good
Review 44：First, there were 2 officers in the parking lot when we pulled to"handle" something. Also, this hotel charged my card prior toeven checking in. The pool was drained and said closed for season (onSept 7 in 90 degree weather). Wifi didn't work. When asked for onemore towel, they gave me a line of grief. The mini fridge wasn'tworking and smelled. The ac couldn't cool the tiny room we were in.The toilet has the wrong sized seat on it (which is inconvenient forwomen). One washcloth in the room. The cops even told us to staysomewhere else, and had they not had already charged me, we mostdefinitely would have left. Horrible.
Review 45：Disgusting and felt like I was going to inherit some sort of disease while there. And that's if somebody didn't break into my room. Staff barely speaks english also
Review 46：The location is not the best area. Next door to a hotel that has high prostitution traffic. Pool had a sign stating closed for season, in the mid of July. Outside of location, good value for money.

Review 103：I asked for a front side room and they put us on the back, and there was some illegal actitivy going on back there thats why i wanted a front side room, and i asked about moving to another room and he said they were all booked and that was a lie, because i counted six (6) rooms that was empty, and with that being said i would not be renting another room at that Motel (EVER).

Review 108：The value for the money. All I needed was a clean place to sleep and a hot shower and that's what I got - actually, that's about *all* I got.
Review 109：I was more concerned about the other customers who were staying therethan the hotel. The showers were backwards but I read the reviews andknew that, no biggie. I felt like it was exactly what we expected.
Review 110：This is an old hotel. You get what you pay for. The towels andsheets are worn. The carpets were in good shape. The mattressweren't the best but suited our needs, one night for ball game.I would pay 49 rather than 300 for one night. Stayed the iron bowlweekend. Well worth it.

Review 112：Really?
Review 113：Location is hidden, you have to drive through a gas station to get toit. I only found it after stopping for directions twice, and it was onlya few yards from the exit from I-85. Shower curtain was mildewed. Showerfaucet was installed backwards (hot and cold were reversed).
Review 114：The bed was soft and comfortable.
Review 115：Poor water pressure in the shower and except for a very few channels, TV reception was non-existant
