Thankfully, not a bad experience for us like other reviewers mentioned in regards to cleanliness. I slept well and got some coffee downstairs in the morning. Overall, a decent stay for tired travelers. We arrived close to midnight but I called the phone number on the front desk office and a man showed up within minutes to check us in. No breakfast, but there is coffee.

The location is convenient to I 81 and RT. 11 and not nearly as busy as the North side of Lexington. Upon check-in the manager was not especially friendly. Maybe he was having a bad day. My bill was suppose to be $134.00 for two nights. He asked if $138.00 was okay and without checking my reservation I said yes. My fault for being trusting and assuming honesty on his part. The room was basic but comfortable. The only complaint here is that the floor was filthy. It hasn't been mopped in ages. Walked from the bathroom after showering to a chair and had to wipe my feet again before putting on my socks. Went for coffee the next morning. It was hot and fresh. The creamer is left out 24/7 and has been there long enough to separate and solidify. That was the Hazelnut; I didn't check the other two. How this place has a 7.2 rating is beyond me. If you are just looking for a cheap place to sleep and nothing else, this will do. Otherwise, pay the extra and stay on the North end near I64/I81. I would not stay here with small children that like to play on the floor! Also, the whole one left at a certain price is a scam. The place was nearly empty. Four vehicles each night including mine. The second floor wasn't even in use. I stay in many hotels around Virginia each year chasing birds. Like most I try to find a deal when I travel. What I have realized is that sometimes you get what you pay for, but this was sadly the worst of the worst. Conclusion: Don't stay here.

It is a perfect hotel for the price. One that allows animals and smoking, even though my smoking room didn’t smell like smoke when I got there. It’s clean and just right. Good air, good beds, good extras that I needed. The owner is very nice. I messed up and booked two rooms, at different times. The owner fixed it no problem. Even helped me check in at midnight when I arrived, and in a very good mood too. The hotel area is very clean and quiet and it felt safe. The hotel is very well lit up. A woman traveling alone, arriving after dark, I felt completely safe. There’s so many things that could have gone wrong but it’s like they cover every concern or need. I highly recommend this hotel and will stay here again if I’m anywhere near it again.

Good value, less than good mattress and pillows

Room was clean and felt safe with plenty of hot water in the shower. Tub a bit dingy, but most likely from age and not because it wasn’t being cleaned. Check-in and check-out was smooth. This is definitely a place where you get what you pay for, so the bed felt like sleeping on a cardboard box and the pillows were few in number and lumpy. The laminate floor was shockingly cold in the morning. All of that said, I was in town for a volunteer event and so tired both nights that I just appreciated having a quiet, safe, cheap spot to sleep.

I didn't need much, didn't pay much, and didn't get much. This was just a cheap roadside stop. The room was noticeably dirty. Big obvious stain on the bed cover, sticky drink rings on the night table, hair ball on the floor.... yikes! No brek. And that's probably safer anyway. Your wife won't like this place. Look elsewhere.
