Fine if you are looking for a bed and a shower. Felt safe. Staff was nice. For an inexpensive hotel it is everything you expect. Bathroom was in need of alot of work. But the water was hot in the shower toilet and sink worked fine. Sheets and towels were clean. Felt I got what I paid for. Would stay again if needed

The building is old and run down, the rooms smelt musty without the air conditioning and the bathrooms were very dated. Stains on the toilet seat and toilet bowl, mold around the shower and there was only cold water coming from a leaking tap.

This is, without a doubt, the worst hotel I’ve ever seen. The whole place had an awful odor to it, the room itself was not very clean and was missing the mini fridge. And, to top it off, there were a ton of ants. By the heater, on the nightstand, on the desk, you name it. After all that, Expedia refused to do a full refund. Don’t use Expedia and never stay at this hotel.

We left. I wish I could give 0 stars. This property felt extremely unsafe, there were guests screaming at each other in their rooms (which we could all hear in ours), the hall and rooms smelled like urine, the bathroom was disgusting, the beds looked slept in, the lights didn’t work. We truly felt unsafe and left. Please don’t stay here. We are fans of RRI, but this is not one to stay in!
