Bedding was clean and we were too exhausted from travel to notice the rest until too late for our one night stay. There was no one at check-in for a couple of minutes. I felt unwelcome and afraid to try to find them for issues. Dirty bathtub, walls & ceiling in disrepair, nasty microwave with food debris. Ancient equipment. It’s like they didn’t even try to make it tolerable.

We ended up here as there were no rooms available in Lynchburg. I do not usually stay in out of the way motels. This was not a great place but the rooms were clean and the personnel friendly and responsive.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Sorry to write this review - Room was down a hill around back (isolated feeling), bottom floor. Room "recently renovated" (not mentioned at check-in" but no room lighting, no working TV, dirty shower, didn't want to touch anything (cleanliness). No smoke detector (hole in wall), NO DEADBOLT OR CHAIN ON DOOR, only knob lock. Large gap between door and floor (safety, vermin). No amenities. Paid same price as Holiday Inn as supposedly this was the last room on the interstate in all of Virginia! Sheets on bed were clean.

We stayed here for a night it was a half way point of are trip and wanted to go see the History of land Bridge the room was clean and all linens were great it is an older hotel so did show signs of being a 30-40 year old motel but for the money this was a great spot to sleep for the night after spending the Day at the State Park 3 mins down the road!!!

Woke up to 3AM to bed bugs crawling on the bed. We both had bites on us. Left immediately, let the person at the front desk know and he gave us a full refund. Staff was awesome and the room wasn’t terrible but bed bugs are the worst. Be warned.

The gentleman at the front desk was very nice. The room didn't look that bad at first but the TV didn't work, There was no coffee maker, and there was mold on the shower curtain, and someone spilled something in the mini fridge and no one cleaned it up. I got on my phone and made another reservation at a better hotel not to far away.

This place was by far the worst place I’ve ever stayed in my life. Absolutely filthy. Property is disrepair. There were bugs and even boogers on the wall, not joking. The smell, I’m still trying to figure out as well. I am well traveled and just needed a place to stop and sleep but damn! Please NEVER do this to yourself…just keep driving.
