The Spotlight on Red Carpet Inn Philadelphia Airport

Affordable, No-Frills Hotel Minutes from the Airport and Downtown Philly

Located in Lester, just a 12-minute drive from the Philadelphia International Airport and about 20 minutes from Center City, the Red Carpet Inn Philadelphia Airport offers a simple, budget-conscious base for music fans. With free airport shuttle service, an on-site restaurant, and free Wi-Fi, it’s a practical pick for travelers looking for convenience over luxury.

Rooms are equipped with the basics—cable TV, a work desk, and a coffee maker—and guests have access to a fitness center and business center. If you're heading to a big show in Philly and want to save your budget for tickets and merch, this place has you covered.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the easy airport access and the free shuttle service, especially for late arrivals or early departures. While it’s not in the heart of the city, the 20-minute drive to downtown venues is manageable with rideshare apps or a rental car. After a loud night out, the quieter suburban setting is a welcome change. Plus, free parking is a major bonus for road-trippers.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable crash pad
  • Solo travelers flying in to see a bucket-list show
  • Couples planning a low-key weekend near the city
  • Fans who want a quieter space to recover post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prioritize savings over amenities

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant, Hunan Garden, serves up a mix of Chinese and American dishes all day and features a full bar menu—perfect for grabbing a bite before or after a show. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the restaurant’s extended hours help fill those late-night cravings. Breakfast is available, so you can recharge even after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While the immediate area is fairly quiet, the hotel’s on-site bar gives you a low-key option for a nightcap. For more action, Center City’s vibrant nightlife is just a short drive or ride away—think live music bars, lounges, and late-night eats.

What People Say

Guests often mention the friendly staff and the value for money, especially with the inclusion of free Wi-Fi, parking, and shuttle service. The location is praised for its proximity to the airport and surprisingly reasonable drive into central Philadelphia.

Areas for Improvement

This isn't a luxury stay—some reviews mention dated decor and occasional maintenance issues. It’s more of a place to sleep and recharge than to hang out, but for the price, many say it meets expectations.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to a Philly concert and need an affordable, no-frills place to rest your head, Red Carpet Inn Philadelphia Airport delivers comfort, convenience, and value.

I was a Marine. It...

Liked: Is what it is. A bed and bathroom. Not “very” clean. But “useable”. Esp for the price. Only slept over for a few hrs until our flight. Like 4. Minus the random big ass black dude banging on the door at 345am like he was the police. Appeared drunk. Multiple times.
Disliked: See above. Was awaken by a dude banging on the door at 345am.

cheap but not cheap enough.

Liked: nice size. good layout. door locks, sheets are clean, soap provided, towels were fresh.
Disliked: smelled like cigarettes.no carpet.no shampoo.no conditioner.a/c was loud.lights were cold white rather than warm light.no ceiling lights -- only wall sconces and they shined right in my face, so the room was badly lit.sometimes the front desk didn't answer the phonethe front desk didn't reply to messages on booking.comyea, it was a low price, but the quality was too low to justify even that price.

Should have read the reviews/Last...

Liked: Location
Disliked: We paid for a King Suite because my husband is 6'2 and the size of this bed would be ideal, but instead got a 2 Queen bed room with burnt holes and marks on the sheets. My husband slept horrible. His legs were literally hanging over the bed. We checked out around 8 a.m. and no manger available to adjust the payment of a room we never got. Still waiting for a call. Things happen, but it should have been communicated at check-in. Not cool.
