It has kitchen and could be a good place for long term stay. Unfortunately, the place is old. Elevator crawls. No water in rooms, not even water fountain on the floor. The only place with water fountain is in the gym area on the first floor and key is required. Gym and laundry are the same space, so it’s really uninspiring to go there for a workout. My blanket was ripped with stuff coming out. Also shower curtain was also ripped, and baseboards in the bathroom looked like they were chewed by an animal. Bed was uncomfortable. And something bit my ear lobe. After all that they also charge for parking. I travel to the area for business quite frequently, and this hotel is close to my work. But I feel like I would most likely choose another hotel next time.

What was great about this hotel was it location. It was tucked into a commercial area, so it was very quiet with no sounds of traffic in our room. It was close to a lot of shopping and restaurants as well as the Interstate. The staff was very nice. The desk attendants, breakfast servers, and room attendants were kind and friendly. The bedding was very comfortable. What was not so good about this hotel was they seem to be short on staff. At check in they needed at least 1more person at the front desk. In the breakfast area several more employees were needed. The hotel was obviously full and so was the breakfast area. The employees they had could not keep up with the demand for food with people standing at the door to the kitchen waiting for the next batch of eggs, bacon, etc… The room cleaners were also overworked. We stayed for 4 nights and while we saw the cleaner on our floor working in other rooms, she never made it to our room. We approached her once with our used towels and she was happy to give us replacements. It was obvious that she was unable to work fast enough to effectively clean all the rooms on the floor. It was nice to have a refrigerator and ice maker, but both the freezer and main compartment were very dirty! The mirrors and bathroom door were spotted and splattered with dirt. We aren’t real picky people, so we feel if it was noticeable to us, it was worth mentioning.

It a hotel that's on the lower end of mid. Our room had a lot of wear and tear in it, and the check-in took forever even though there were 3 staff working. If you need to visit or have business in RB or that area, it'll do the job.

This place needs serious help.

The breakfast was great! The people that work there are really nice, too. The problem was that the hotel is run down with stained towels, bedding, furniture and carpet. The furniture in the room was torn and stained. The entire place needs a serious deep clean especially the gym and laundry room. I noticed black mold growing on the ceiling of the gym. These people (aka the owners/management) have a lot of nerve keeping a hotel in this condition then charging as much as they do for the room AND parking. Wow, profits over people, you know?
