The room was not cleaned properly, the toilet seat was dirty from the previous guest. The floor was very dirty and the bed linen was not done properly. Upon entry to the room I was greeted with a strong BLEACH scent which was very unpleasant. I've stayed in a few hotel rooms and this is my worst experience.

The Rio desk staff are very attentive and accommodating! The location is the best feature. Parking is tight but available which is great we didn’t need drive our car after we arrived and could walk to everything. Linens were available and housekeeping daily as well. The outdoor shower was no useable and there was litter and garbage in it . Otherwise it’s easy and convenient stay for getting all you can from the beach and boardwalk.

This place was a bad experience from the start. Their check in office is across the street and down the block. The parking is horrible. The room are musty! House keeping doesn’t come at all. The microwave was broken! Going up the stairs at night time there was homeless people sleep underneath.

What we didn't like is having to check in at another motel a block down. Then having to pay for parking. We only were allowed 1 spot which wasn't a problem but it was in back of motel and a very tight driveway to drive down along a fence line. Room was clean and comfortable and close to beach.

Absolutely terrible I wouldn’t recommend this place to a family what so ever. First off, the google picture is misleading the pic they show is someone else’s place. Then you got to walk down the road more to another hotel to check in. Then the staff you can barely understand and they walk you down to your room which is an alley with only 4 parking spots oh and they make you pay for parking. They say your room is supposed to be ready at 3pm just to walk you down and tell you that you need to wait 20mins for it to be cleaned. And they are very scammy.

Our experience with the Rio was absolutely terrible. We were unable to stay due to illegal actities and a violent situation occurring in the room next us. The yelling was too loud to be tuned out and one individual saying he was fine with going back to jail. This was not a safe environment for anyone let alone with two young children who were frightened. We tried to work with management for a solution and they offered a take it or leave stance with only a partial refund, but proceeded to charge the full amount anyway.
