Red Carpet Inn Norwalk

Nice hotel. The sheets were stained however.

This is the second time I've stayed here in two weeks, and this is my second review. Not much has changed. I think for $115, this is a great place, but that was through *******. I wouldn't pay the full rack rate. It's a great throwback to the old two story motels where every door opens to the outside. I may not have had someone above my first floor room last time but this time I definitely did and the footsteps and other noise did keep me from sleeping to some degree. Maybe the person was just a heavy walker, but it does appear that the ceiling/floor above me was a bit thin. Again, for $115 in Norwalk, I found that acceptable and didn't complain to the manager. The only strange thing that happened the second time I stayed was that there seemed to be no hot water from the bathroom sink. I pushed the faucet to the left and the water was cold after running for 5 minutes. I reported it, then turned on the bath water. That got hot. Then I went back and pushed the faucet all the way to the right and the water eventually got hot. So I guess the feeds are backwards. Even the little blue and red indicator on the faucet showed blue right and red left yet it ended up that cold was left and hot was right. Small issue.

If you want a basic, clean room for a great price relative to other places to stay in Norwalk, Ct. this is the place. If you want luxury, this ain't the place. It's a throw back to the old motels in which all room doors open to the outside. It's only two stories, so you're always exposed to the parking lot, but I didn't hear much noise when I stayed, although I did check in at 10pm and left at 7:45am.

There was blood on the bottom sheet and human hair between the sheets when I went to bed...neither was mine! Impression was that the sheets had not been changed from the last guest. The floor in the bathroom had dirt in the corner. I decided not to take a shower in the morning, not knowing if the towels had been properly washed. It was my decision based on the other issues above.

I asked the desk clerk (a middle-aged male) who checked me in for an extra blanket. (It was chilly on my check-in.) As best as I could understand, he told me that there was already one on my bed and that was all I was entitled to. Later as it got colder I asked the desk clerk (by this time a 20s-something woman) for a blanket. A few minutes later, I got a knock on my door by an on-site maintenance person handing me a wadded-up (Not folded) blanket. I think it had been fished out of the trash. I used it as it was better than nothing.

Was decent but the Tv kept glitching like crazy, couldn't get hot water in the sink and the shower took forever to heat up, but the rooms were cleaned quite well, and always seemed to get extra towels.

Our room was terribly dirty. The floor was dirty and stained. The curtains were covered in stains. There was no coffee in the room. The reception on the TV was spotty at best. We will not be staying here again and we do not recommend staying here.

Bed was terrible. Noise from traffic and other guests was terrible. Shower was too small for me. I asked the check in staff multiple questions but they didn't speak English well enough to understand me.

Everything was just dirty enough to notice it wasn't clean and there were terrible potholes in the parking lot. But the room was spacious and had a fridge/microwave combo in addition to a TV. The ac worked well, the bed was surprisingly comfortable, and it was quiet.
