It looks a little rough from the outside, but the rooms are surprisingly undated, comfortable and very clean. The staff is helpful and very pleasant. It’s located close to everything you need and is truly a great value for the price.

Look man the room was $55 plus fees so I had zero expectations of even a friendly experience but this place was a pleasant surprise... yes they need new carpets but the place was super clean, comfy bed and excellent customer service. I'd stay again.

The hotel is a mess. The room we were in was mostly fine but the hotel as a whole is in rough shape. The parking isn't ideal and the lobby is a dump. The guy working was nice but provided limited assistance. Would never stay here again.

The hotel had a very shady vibe. Homeless people hanging round the parking lot and shady people coming in and out of the hotel or just hanging out in the lobby. There is no sound insulation and the corridors smelled of weed. The place did not feel safe so we changed hotel.

Property is very run down and needs refurbishing. The hallways looked like they hadn’t been vacuumed in weeks. The pictures online were very deceiving and must have been taken years ago. It was overpriced for the condition it is in. I am surprised that Expedia doesn’t police their property listings better.

A guest two doors down started playing polka music with a loud, thumping, oom-pah beat at 4 in the morning. I called the night clerk to complain. He came up and spoke to the people, but they never really turned the music off. I got a terrible night’s sleep. The mattress was also hard and uncomfortable.

This is a Days Inn that is becoming a Fair Bridge. Rooms are not that nice: no cups in the room, sink is dripping below, and the best part- drops of blood on one of the towels in our room. Not making that up. Pool is in complete disrepair; hotel needs a major overhaul.

This place used to be a Rodeway Inn (that sign was still up which was confusing), and is still in the process of transitioning into being the FairBridge Inn. My room was clean, the bed was super comfortable, and it was quiet. But the pool wasn’t open (but that was fine since it was raining), and no breakfast offered. But there’s a a Japanese steakhouse a block one way for dinner , and a couple of delicious places for breakfast & lunch a block in the other direction. So overall for the price, a great deal.

The pool's not working. There is no breakfast even though on the app it says there is breakfast provided there's tea and coffee 24 hours. There was no shower curtain in our room. The heat lamp bulb was missing even though it turned on. The door in the bathroom was completely tore up like a dog had been in there. To me it was still worth it because the price of the hotel for $62 I thought was good

The room had stains all over the floors and furniture. The bed was clean but everything else was horrible! The king size bed came with 3 crappy pillows (for 2 people) and the front desk didn’t have any extras to spare. We found garbage behind the nightstand. Electrical outlets were broken or missing. Walls looked dirty. Microwave was missing the glass tray. The wallpaper was peeling. The shower curtain had a hole in it. The bathtub had splotchy paint stains all over like it was covering up damage. I’ve never stayed in such a disgusting room. If it wasn’t so late at night and there were other hotel options (everything was sold out for an event) we would not have stayed. Strongly do not recommend.
