I was disappointed in the pool area. The pictures made it look very big and upscale but it wasn’t. Also, the pool was dirty.

Beautiful hotel and beautiful rooms for 1970. This is not 1970. Everything was clean but dated. This property could stand some updating. Not planning to stay there again. I don’t mind the cost, but they could do better for the level they purport to be.

Definitely convenient, just beware to not stay on the busy side of the street. We were “upgraded” to a room that faces the pool and backed the steer. Where you could hear the garbage truck. It was definitely not nice of the manager to shove us there on the corner. Properly is a little older, nothing luxurious, but definitely comfortable for families looking for something easy and convenient.

This hotel and spa is beautiful. Lush, vibrant gardens and plant life everywhere you turned. A gorgeous place to walk around. We got a couple's massage at the spa-the facilities were excellent and the massages themselves were amazing. Our therapists were both terrific. Comfortable bed, spacious, tasteful room, friendly service.

RB inn is a charming hotel . It was unfortunate that our last night our toilet clogged up and water flooded the bath room They didn’t have maintenance for after hours so we had to change rooms at 12:30 am . They deducted 100$ off and upgraded our room . Wish we could have gotten a little more out of it. Maybe it was just our luck
