Red Carpet Inn & Suites at 1390 Piney Forest Rd is a no-frills budget motel on Danville’s north side, along the commercial Piney Forest Road corridor (US-29 Business). Travelers book it for a low nightly rate, free breakfast, and quick road access rather than for amenities or atmosphere.
The property belongs to the Red Carpet Inn brand, which operates under the hihotels family alongside Scottish Inns and Passport Inn. Expect simple rooms, complimentary Wi-Fi, a basic continental breakfast, and free parking. Guest reviews average about 2.7 stars and are mixed. Some guests praise the price and convenience. Others report uneven housekeeping and dated furnishings. Families and business travelers on tight budgets use it as a place to sleep between appointments, games, or a night out, not as a destination in itself.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Call the front desk before you book to confirm current operation, rates, and breakfast hours. Ask to see or choose your room at check-in, and check it before you unpack. Booking direct can sometimes beat third-party prices. Rooms fill faster on weekends, during Averett University events, and when crowds come in for Caesars Virginia, the casino resort on the city’s south side. Piney Forest Road puts you close to Piedmont Mall, chain restaurants, and gas stations. The River District, the Riverwalk Trail, and the Danville Museum of Fine Arts & History are a short drive south. A car is essential, because public transit is limited.
