“Good value, better than expected.”
We stayed several days as an outpost while we explored and hiked our way around the Virginia Panhandle. For our purpose, it served us well. The place is pet friendly, and has a large grass area for pets. For dining, there are numerous good restaruants within 5 miles of the motel, including downtown, which is only 1.5 miles south. The shower was good, although hard to regulate the temperature. The wireless internet connection worked great, fast and easy hookup. The TV was nice and large with a full range of cable stations. The air conditioner worked quite well, even when the evening sun hit our side of the building. The breakfast in the morning was quite adequate for us. Very good coffee. They had big fluffy southern biscuits and hot sausage gravy, which was all we needed. Lots of other stuff there on the buffet, but when you have all the biscuits and gravy you can eat every morning, what sane person would want anything else? On the down side, the drains were slow (sink and shower), indicating a more substatial plumbing problem down the line. The temperature control knob on the fridge was broken, so much of our pop froze the first night until I fixed the setting with a pocket knife. All rooms have a common exhaust system, so at times when opening the door, the pressure drop would allow a smoke odor to come in the room, but that soon disappeared after closing the door. But all of these are quickly forgotten with a liberal application of good buiscuits and gravy every morning!
