리치랜드 인 앤드 스위트 리치랜드

This is a cheap motel with a new coat of paint. The walls are thin and the traffic noise considerable. The bed was comfortable. The stairs looked like they might crumble into a pile of rust. The worst part for me was the stink of cleaning products. The lobby and my room reeked of nasty artificial scents.

The room is clean and appears to be recently renovated. However, the sound isolation in the facility is terrible - you hear other guests speaking and walking on squeaky floors above you as if the walls are not even there. There is a constant sound of heavy traffic from George Washington Way, starting very early am and lasting until late pm, so you will need good quality ear plugs to sleep. The air conditioning unit is amongst the noisiest I have experienced out of 100 hotels I stayed in. I simply turned this dreadful contraption off, but I am not sure what I would have done in summer of winter. HVAC units in neighboring rooms appeared to be noisy as well when people tried to turn them on. After a few nights, I could wait to get out of this hotel and will never come back. There are plenty of much better hotels in Richland, and I would strongly recommend not trying to save money and stay elsewhere.
