Online this place seems promising, I even scored a good deal on a Queen Bedroom for my 5 night stay by placing a reservation online weeks in advance, seeing as this is my 1st review on yelp and its only 1 star, I clearly did not have a good stay. Upon arriving, the front desk area appeared unsanitary, cluttered, and not very appealing - which is whatever, it's not my room right? Even though this was during the increasing cases of corona-virus in Western U.S.A, it didn't bother me too much since the area I placed my hands appeared to be wiped (watermarks). The lady working the desk spoke broken English and was quiet, they asked for my ID, a debit card to put on file, and a $100 deposit in case of any damages, I handed her all 3 - she immediately handed me my PayPal debit card back, without taking a moment look on the back, by sliding it back to me followed by saying, "this doesn't have a name or any information on it, I need a real card", I immediately correct her by pointing out my name on the front, and flipping over the card to reveal what she took no care in looking for (I understand PayPal Business cards are different, but clearly looks like a debit card & had my name printed on the front) - she took a moment to realize it wasn't fake, looked at me and told me I was not allowed to have any friends/visitors over, I was confused by what she said & thought I heard wrong so I replied, "what do you mean I cant have any friends over? I cant bring friends inside?" which she replied back, "They can stay for 5 minutes then they need to leave". In the many places I've stayed, this was the first I've been told I was not allowed visitors, I have never heard of such a policy (extended periods of time like overnight Is different, she literally said only 5 minutes which is ridiculous), they not only have my debit card on file, but also charge an extra $100 for the stay as a deposit in case of damages. Having said that, there should be no reason I'm not allowed to have a friend hang out with me during the day, if measures are already taken to insure the room through an extra deposit and keeping my card on file. The lady working the front desk is very unprofessional, and shouldn't be representing RLH or ABVI; as for the room, the WIFI is terrible and constantly disconnects, the lamp is extremely ugly doesn't go with the room at all and is missing a plugin, one of the walls looks like someone body slammed it & they did a piss poor job of fixing it up, it is very warped/cracked, the Heater/AC is loud, there is no coffee machine in the room so don't expect getting any, the floors and walls have not been cleaned or sanitized showing clumps of spider webs in the corners, the mirror above the desk hadn't been cleaned & has finger smears/possible popped pimple residue; the Queen Room has the smallest cheapest microwave i've seen, it only fits personal frozen meals so you wont get a family dish in it, making meals limited and it hadn't been cleaned prior to my stay, so parts of the inside appear to have crusty food stuck on the walls, possibly even mold - I didn't want to smell it or try to clean it myself, I simply will just not use the microwave. As for the bathroom, over a dozen ants were crawling around the tub, I didn't even use the shower and water seemed to have pooled out of the drain over night on my first day, and the walls are a hideous pinkish-peach. The TV is cheap, the decor is super outdated, it needs new curtains and bed sheets, there's old piles of dog poop scattered around the front walkway towards my room door, though a positive note being there is plenty of storage space; after experiencing the low-par customer service, overall lack of cleanliness, and not-so-worth-it amenities, I will not come back here again - You will have a way better experience by spending a little extra money on a completely different place to stay, or by spending even less money at one of the local house hostels if you're on a budget. I'm glad I got a deal on the room, I definitely wouldn't have been happy paying full price, I got it for $48 per night (cheapest around this week) but have stayed in cheaper & more comfortable than this place, so unless they update the decor and terminate the lady working the front desk and replace her with someone who actually aims for customer satisfaction & cleanliness, I wouldn't spend more than $40 a night to stay in this dump & suggest you all stay away from this inn, most of the high star reviews are years old & are likely made by those who know an employee/employer. If the management ran this place correctly & cared about its customers, they'd steadily be getting 4-5 star reviews, an occasional 3 and maybe one or two 1 star review(s) by someone who shouldn't be leaving reviews to begin with. Do yourselves a favor and read the 1 star reviews, we didn't write long explanations for nothing - If it weren't for a lot of areas for concern, I initially would give this a 3 star review. read more
