River Place Inn

I booked with booking.com as they gave the place a good rating. We drove into the complex and immediately saw bums sitting on the sidewalk outside the rooms with their dog smoking weed. Dirty people, shirtless and ragged clothes. Kind of like the people you see in third world countries waiting for someone to come by too rob. We drove around the complex and did not even feel safe enough to park the car and venture into the office. I got on my phone and found another hotel down the street for close to the same price and went there instead. When we returned home I looked up trip adviser and started reading reviews on this place. How can booking dot com give this place a good rating when 18 of the first 20 reviews are less than one star? I will never book with them again without checking trip adviser reviews first.

The room was clean but the hotel seems to be full of people that live there and some of the "guests" seemed to be a little unsavory. They were smoking weed outside for hours so it was hard to enjoy the patio room we had paid for. I realize that the hotel cannot determine how the people are going to be that stay with them so that is not necessarily their fault. The first night, there was some type of upstairs leak and it came into our room. All of our luggage got wet as it just happened to be where we had placed our suitcase. The staff was accommodating and moved us to another room. We were told that our stay was going to be at no charge due to all the trouble of having to change rooms etc. They did dry all of our clothes for us but we have still not received any type of refund and it has been about 2 weeks. After we were moved, the next door guest was a lot better and made for a better experience for us. We really enjoyed having the river and ducks close by the room. We had a mini cook out on a small grill we had and it was fun to feed the ducks. Having the small patio was nice as it had a table and chairs to use. The pool was clean. Not sure if I would go back.

Horrible motel. First found dirty underwear in between sheets so they weren't changed. Then the shady charges they starting making to my card and the icing on the cake was when I started getting bit and discovered a bed bug infestation. Be warned stay away from this place
