Riom was very compact but comfortable. Took Lyft to airport and left my car there for $15/day. Much better than parking closer to airport. Staff was super friendly - thank you Sarah! Highly recommended!

There was a rodent in my room! Disgusting and disturbing. It’s also a very very very loud hotel. I would’ve been better off sleeping in my car.

The room was very clean and comfortable, with easy check-in and out. My only downside was the noise from Mill Ave right next to my room. Traffic was quite loud all night.

The bed was comfortable. The parking access was great. Only negative is the coffee maker. There was nowhere to plug it in. No outlet. I had to make the coffee in the bathroom, holding it over the sink where the outlet was.

Great little Inn. Room was stylish and fresh. Great shower with rain head (nice since I didn’t have to do the usual hotel shower back-bend as I am quite tall). Comfy bed. Great location handy to all the restaurants and bars along Mill St.
