Room rate kinda high considering this is a no frills property. Room was clean but no place to hang my clothes. The closet clothes hanger bar was broken and missing. Guests next door were loud and paper thin walls. The location for what I was doing and who I was visiting was good. Easy access to DC, Baltimore and Annapolis.

Nice place…

Had to find an inexpensive room for me and three other men and Rips was it. Bed was comfortable and the night manager/owner was very accommodating. If I’m in the area again I will stay there again.

The room was full of stink bugs. I spent a majority of my night trying to get rid of them. I could hear them flying around me while I tried to sleep. I saw several of them crawling all over the walls and ceilings. It was disturbing and made it hard to sleep.

Good for one night

The staff is friendly, the bed was comfortable, the shower water pressure and temperature were great. Also, the location if the motel is very convenient. However, the motel is in desperate need of renovations. The carpet on the floor in our room was quite soiled and there was mold in the shower and the AC unit. Glad we only stayed for one night.

Room was very smelly and I didn’t feel comfortable staying there. This is an Inn for night workers and truck drivers. I don’t advise that anyone else stay there. I spent 2 min in the room and left. Lost my money on the two night stay. You’re better off at the comfort inn one block away.

It was okay.

Atayed for 3 nights. The room was okay but the bathroom was extremely cold. I had to cut the heat on and let it run for a couple hours so the room could warm up enough for me to take a shower. Also, had to plug up the fridge and upon looking inside of it, I saw that it needed to be cleaned. Overall, the room was fine.

Dont stay at Rips Country Inn

Our room was clean but very old and rundown. No coffee, no hairdryer. Staff indifferent and difficult to reach. Poison ivy growing through the wooden sidewalk. 1 towel and 1 washcloth per room. No ice bucket then you have to ask for ice. Staff acts suspicious of you. We will absolutely not stay there again. This is their cash cow but they dont invest or upkeep.

Needs renovations & better linens

Check in was OK. Very few, poor quality linens. No microwave in room. Shower was ancient and dripped all night. Carpet was stained. Large gap under exterior door led to bugs coming in.
