This was the nicest stay, we’ve ever had. We stayed for 12 straight days. These are the most friendly people we ever met. It was clean there, and quit. We sleeped very well, every night. They are most reasonable with their prices. We’ve stayed at the holiday hotel down the road, for over twice the price. Couldn’t been happier with our stay here . Liked better than any other hotels in starke. Looking for a great place to stay, give them a try. You’ll be glad you did.

Clean room and staff was very friendly and accommodating however, the inn was being renovated and some construction noise. Also the ac was very noisy. Train noise all times of the night. Overall a very nice stay of 3 days and would stay there again. But maybe after all the construction is over.

“I had a really good experience staying at the Red Carpet Inn in Starke. The room was very clean and comfortable, and it looked like it had been updated recently. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made check-in easy. The bed was comfortable, the AC worked great, and I appreciated having a fridge and microwave in the room. For the price, this place is an excellent value. I would definitely stay here again when I’m in the area.”
