I had two children graduate from Virginia Tech, and whenever I visited Blacksburg, I stayed at the Red Carpet Inn. The hotel was always clean, the rates were more than reasonable, and -- most importantly -- Mr Harry and his staff truly understand and honor the concept of customer service. They always went out of their way to make sure my stay was comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel.
We have stayed at this hotel for a few years and have zero complaints! The owners are great and I highly recommend it. The only reason for the four stars for the rooms is because they have not been updated. However, they are clean and have everything that you need. It is an older hotel/not fancy but don’t let that deter you from renting as many Hokie families stay there! The location is perfect as well! We Look forward to our stays over the next four years with our youngest starting in the fall. Thank you to Harry for always being so accommodating!
Great location and service, it’s old property but neat and clean and will surely recommend this for stay near VTech
Clean room. Close to Virginia Tech. Man working the counter was super friendly. Can you go somewhere nicer? Sure. But for the price, this place is perfect. The room was clean, the price is right, and the staff is super friendly. Can't beat it in my opinion!
I recently stayed at Red Carpet Inn, a very good experience. The Room is spacious, clean and comfortable, with a very kind, helpful and friendly staff/family owners. I would definitely stay here again in the future and recommend at 100%. Thank you for your kindness that I will never forget.
Hidden gem for sure. Wasn’t expecting a nice stay at all but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms and the friendliness of the staff. Mattress were very comfy and clean with very nice sheets, room and bathroom were extremely clean and smelled great, and the staff treated us like family. It was so refreshing to experience such kindness from owners who clearly care so much about the quality of their hotel and their guests. Even offered to drive us to the stadium for a game. Overall, great experience and would 100% stay again!
We had a great visit to Blacksburg and stayed at the Red Carpet Inn. The location is great. The bed was so comfortable and the room was very clean. The owner and his wife are so sweet. They went above and beyond and really wanted to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
We have stayed here many times while visiting our children at VT. The owner is amazing and very welcoming. The rooms are very clean and well kept. In addition to other stays, we have reserved rooms twice now to watch our children graduate and prices are very reasonable compared to the bigger chain hotels in Blacksburg. Highly recommend a stay here. Don’t overlook the Red Carpet Inn.
