Good one night stay

The front desk was extremely helpful when my reservation from Hotels.com was not processed. He helped me correct what I needed for the night, and even upgraded my room for the inconvenience. The hotel was fine for a budget hotel for a quick one night stay. There were some stains on the towels and they need to add USB outlets but otherwise it is a decent hotel. Great location.

I was met with friendly service however the hotel room could use some updating and maintenance. It sufficed as a place to sleep, however I would not recommend having high expectations going into it. I would’ve expected the price to be a little cheaper for what it was. It hard to beat its location to JMU though.

The staff we dealt with were very friendly and guided us to a good restaurant. The hotel itself was very tired looking and dated. The room was probably clean but it was hard to be certain since the furniture was so worn and the bathroom was so old. The tile appeared worn and dirty. Won’t stay in RRI again!!
