The hotel is going through renovations but besides the dust and stale smell the rooms were clean, no bugs and staff was prompt with responding. Beds are a bit too firm for my liking. Me and my family would hook again.

Dina

Disliked: Room comfort
Had to call a number to get someone to the front desk. Room was ok was missing a pillow for one of the beds, I used a blanket rolled up as a pillow. Walls stained with snotty burgers, needs lots of update, had a coffee maker with no cups or coffee. The stay was ok had been in worst. Was here for family reunion in small town so don’t expect greatness here. The toilet kept on running. Never would stop. TP holder was missing. The place needs TLC would stay again if back in town.

Crappy Republic

I was checked into a room with a non working lock on the inside. I was moved to the only other room available and that door would not lock from the outside. The place was really run down and communication was difficult. The second room did not have any TV reception. I didn’t even stay 10 minutes and just left. They refused to refund my money.

Be Aware

We reserved 2 rooms for a 1-night stay. Upon entering the room, we could tell it was bad news. Pulled the sheets back on the bed and there were ants all over the stained sheets. Floors of the room were nasty as well as stains on the walls. Be aware the pictures that are posted on the website are NOT current. DO NOT RECOMEND THE REPUBLIC HOTEL. We told the manager of the condition of the rooms, and he said "no refunds" will be issued and didn't offer to replace the room.
