It’s definitely a bare-bones kind of hotel, but for the price and location it was exactly what I needed. I was fairly pleasantly surprised! The room is a bit old and had a slight smell (left the window open for a bit and it mostly went away) but it was very clean otherwise, comfortable, and I felt safe the entire time. The shared bathrooms were surprisingly nice, super clean (no matter what time you went so they clearly clean it often) and recently renovated. I didn’t spend much time in the room anyway, so it worked perfectly for my stay. The WiFi was a bit slow but did the job. Plus, the staff were super friendly and kind. Overall, no bells and whistles, but I would definitely stay again!!

Staff were very good and it was pretty clean BUT the room was just falling apart, with a window looking in the storage area where the kitchen vents lead to. Even if i wanted to close the window if i wanted to, there was a ac unit from the 70s held in with tape

I enjoyed my stay here overall . I had a private room with its own bathroom the main room was small but efficient . The bathroom has been recently renovated and is modern however, the toilet kept flushing all night as the flange needed to be replaced. The walls in the room could use a good paint job . The staff were friendly and accommodating in the hotel and in the restaurant. I would suggest if you have a lot of luggage to book on the first or second floor as there is no elevator if you have a lot of luggage. For the price point overall I found The Rex a great place to stay for location and convenience .I would definitely stay here again.

Rooms were clean. Shower shampoo was empty. Complimentary breakfast is coffee and toast; anything else is extra- avocado toast was decent for the price. Good location, and the jazz music is a bonus. No elevator if carrying heavy luggage.
