Red Carpet Inn Jersey City, Jersey City

I booked a room on line for my son in his name and paid with my credit card. I live in Texas, he is moving to New Jersey. When he arrived they told him I had to fax or e-mail a copy of my credit card, front and back to a personal yahoo e-mail address. When I called to speak with the clerk to tell her that I was happy to send a copy of my DL so they could verify the information and compare it to my son's DL she hung up on me. My son called me back a couple minutes later saying that if he left they would charge the room anyway but they refused to give him the room until they had a hard copy of my credit card. I refused and a man saying he was the manager asked me what my problem was and why wouldn't I trust him? Duh. Personal e-mail, hard copy of my credit card front and back. After a lot of arguing, they finally relented and gave my son the room (he is not underage, irresponsible or scary looking) and charged my card which they had previously insisted they couldn't do with the information from the on line booking. This is a very bad place. If I had the money to allow them to charge for the night and pay for another hotel room, I would have insisted he go elsewhere.

This place is disgusting. There were cigarette burns all over the bedspread and curtains. Stains and burns all over the carpet. I really did not want to touch anything there. I did not feel safe there. The employees hardly speak Engish. This was a last-resort hotel for me - everything "nice" in the area was sold out. I will NEVER even consider staying at a Red Carpet Inn again, and I would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. Thank goodness that trip is over!

This hotel provides hard core pornograrhy on the TV on a channel which cannot be blocked. I politely asked the desk clerk to block that channel and he said it is impossible. My family and I will not be back.

I called to cancel my reservation to this hotel, was talked to in a rude manner. I was told that I could not cancel my reservation and the lady hung up the phone on me at least four times. I put a block on my charge card by calling the company and explaning the situation. I will not now or ever go back to another Red Carpet Inn. I will sleep in my car before I stop at one. This just happen tonight 9/19/07.

The Red Carpet Inn offers an affordable alternative to paying for a NYC hotel. I scoured the internet looking for hotels for a one night stay and everything was either overpriced, in an unsavory location, or had communal bathrooms. So I chose the Red Carpet Inn in Jersey City. It's about 10 minutes (if that) from the Lincoln Tunnel. The rooms were clean and even included a microwave, small fridge, and a television. They claim to have cable however they only have a few channels - one being a porn channel which seemed to air vintage porn. Nonetheless my girlfriend and I enjoyed it ;). Besides, we weren't there to watch television. I just needed a nice place to crash after partying hard in NYC. At $89/night it was a pretty reasonable choice.
