9/10 Wonderful! (1,333 reviews)
The whole hotel is flooded with air fresheners. I’m in my room and it is also pumped with air fresheners. It is just too much for someone that can’t handle them. I can’t even use them in my own home. I’m not happy. The hotel is very lovely otherwise.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was beautiful, comfortable, very clean, and the owners provided everything we needed and more. We were in town for family weekend at Roanoke College and the location was perfect. We would love to stay here again next time we are in town.

I thought the unit was nice however there were some cleanliness issues, staining/what looked like mold on the shower curtain, and the towels were really flimsy and kinda cheap. I feel like with a few updates it could be even nicer but it was a fine place for a few days. Definitely a good location ...
