Red Carpet Inn Norwalk

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 Expedia. 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.

Clean big spacious comfortable room and environment.

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.
