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.

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!

I didn't decide to call it a night until 3a.m and 5 mins after I got into the bed I quickly got right back out so mad I didn't know what to do. My skin was itching and crawling because of bedbugs!! I thought it was just my mind because it was so fast that my entire body was itching but it's because there is an infestation. I don't talk bad about hotels but this needs fixed
