Red Carpet Inn North East, PA — Hotel in North East Township

My friend and I had a room booked at the local Holiday Inn. Once we heard there was a Red Carpet Inn in town, we canceled and ate the security deposit just to have the opportunity, nay, the privilege of staying at the Red Carpet Inn. |It’s no understatement to say we were treated like celebrities upon arrival. The nice man behind the counter even asked for my autograph on a small piece of paper after I swiped my credit card. It really felt like we were being swarmed with paparazzi which tuckered us out so we made our way to our room. |Upon entering, it was like I had just entered into a movie. The smell of cigarette smoke and the sound of domestic violence elsewhere in the hotel was the perfect touch of immersion to add to the red carpet experience. Move over universal studios, there’s a new player in town. They even included a piece of chocolate on our pillows! |We must have booked the extra immersion package because I felt like one of the kidnapped children from black phone. The cigarette holes and yellow stains on the sheets had me crying for mommy but the dead bugs on the windowsill kept me company. |Everyone knows celebrities only take cold showers so that they’re alert and ready to act and the Red Carpet Inn did not disappoint with the lack of any hot water I truly felt like I was ready for the spotlight.|After listening to a motorcycle (presumably Nick Cage) circle around in the parking lot all night, we awoke to sample the free continental breakfast which consisted of a dirty coffee pot that was about a quarter full and a single brown banana. Hollywood Is very picky when it comes to waistlines and figures so this all made sense.|Upon pulling away I was sad that my red carpet experience was over but the many potholes in the parking lot jarred me awake enough to get over my sorrow and look back one last time as the sun rose over the extravagant Red Carpet Inn.||EDIT: The piece of chocolate...

While on a trip for a month at the French River in Ontario, my camper broke down at this exit on Rt 90. I was stuck for a day and a half. Being basically across the street, I reluctantly checked in. The room was emacculetly clean, the bed was comfortable and the Inn was very budget friendly. I had to use my phone for an extended period dealing with having my transmission rebuilt. My battery was very low, so well after dark I called the desk and asked if they might allow me to come to the lobby and use their charger for a little while, just to be sure I would have enough charge to be able to have the mechanic call me in the morning. The owner said he would be happy to help. He was at my door three minutes later with a charger which he insisted I keep. I was unable to check out the following day until late afternoon. I had been there since 8 AM the prior day and yet he gave me a discount for the very late checkout. This is an old place, but it's very obvious the owner is working hard on updates and refitting. I told the owner that the AC unit needed to be cleaned as it was very musty when I turned on the fan, and that the room smelled like the prior guest had smoked, permitted or not, and it lacked a bedside lamp. He admitted that he forgot about the lamp as he had it's replacement. To me that's simple human err, and not to be held against him. For the price, the Inn was...

We picked this place due to the many wineries in the immediate area. However, I would have driven an extra 30 minutes rather than come back here. Here's some of the things wrong with our room:

-No soap to wash our hands with (liquid or bar), even when asked.

-There was only half a roll of toilet paper in the room when we arrived and no one at the front desk when we went to ask for more ("ring bell for service" sign was a complete lie). We ended up having to take napkins from the breakfast area.

-Would not give us an extra chair for our room, even from the completely empty lobby.

-Every TV channel was staticky, even after trying to tighten the cable connector.

-One of the lamps was missing a bulb.

-There were no paper towels in the dispenser shown in the pictures.

-The walls were stained and the AC looked like it had mold.

-The fire alarm was clearly tampered with and may have been broken (wasn't going to test it just in case).

Things that were fine:

-Good water pressure.

-No bedbugs.

If you care about the quality of your hotel room, go literally...
