Killed a spider the first 10 minutes in the room. You could see daylight under the door. Had to wait 15 minutes to get in the room after I checked in because it hadn’t been cleaned yet

The good: The place was clean and the shower was great. Best water pressure of any hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was very small and somewhat cramped (couldn't get much in the mini-fridge), but adequate and the price was much lower than anything else around. Had very little interaction with the staff but when I did they were courteous and professional. The place is also within minutes of Mount Jefferson and the New River. Beautiful scenery and natural attractions all over that area. The bad: The lighting was terrible. I literally couldn't hardly see to shave. It was pretty noisy at times with some fighting and carrying on by some of the other patrons.

Our biggest issue was with plumbing. The first room we were assigned had a tub faucet that could not be turned off and neither the TV or lamps would turn on. They may have been unplugged, but the outlet was behind a built-in cabinet and inaccessible, so we couldn't solve it ourselves. The staff graciously offered us a second room, which seemed okay at first except that we soon discovered the sink would not drain. We kept the room anyway and brushed our teeth and washed our hands in the tub, which did drain. While we were in the process of checking out the following morning, we saw a pest control truck parked next to our car, and we had no sooner put the last piece of luggage in the trunk, when the exterminator entered the room we'd vacated 30 seconds before and began spraying. We don't know if it was just a routine job or if the previous lodgers who had used that room had reported problems, but now that we're safely back home we're washing everything we took on the trip in case there was something we shouldn't be introducing into our own home. It was unsettling, to say the least. The continental breakfast was pitiful--weak coffee, yoghurt cups, make-your-own waffles, and a few pieces of shriveled fruit. That was it. No juice, bread, scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, no pastries of any sort, although those items appeared on the website. It was a convenient location and the staff we met were reasonably pleasant, but there's not much else to recommend about it.

They have permanent residents staying there. They let their dogs run free without being on a leash. One off their dogs attacked my dog while I was walking her on a leash. No one on the staff. Seemed to care. The police had to be called.

Hotel is really showing its age. Linens and towels were thin and sheet had burn marks on them. Beds only come in Double or King would prefer Queens over double mattress. Bathroom was dark and exhaust fan did not work. Cleanliness was subpar and I was concerned about walking bare foot in the bathroom. Several of the lights had to be wiggles to turn on and several outlets were not accessible. Walls are thin and could hear other rooms conversations. Hotel is within walking distance of fast food and grocery store. Reason for stay was a hunting trip with Brother, would not stay here with my family.

There is no excuse for someone having to pay for a room like this this was hands down the worst motel I’ve ever been to. The non-smoking room I paid for had burn holes all over both bed sheets and smelled so bad I did feel like sitting my stuff down. I went back to the office and got moved upstairs and I was no better there were burn holes also, yellow dingy stains on wash cloths and towels, one bed had a tear in the blanket, and there was no shower curtain……DONT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE

Dirty - but safe
The room which was a pet room, was smelly, which I know that is to be expected. Towels were dingy, I wound up buying towels, blankets and wash clothes at the Dollar General next door. The blanket/bedspread had burn holes. The heat/ac was missing the front cover and it was loud, but did keep the room comfortable. Beds were comfortable. Only had 1/2 roll of toilet tissue, but it did last thru the night. Coffee basket had everything except for cups, but I would not have used the coffee maker. Maybe the non-pet rooms were in better shape, I surely hope so. I did feel safe there, the lock worked and there was not a lot going on outside. It was in a good neighborhood.

I booked my reservation online and when I got there they weren’t sure if they had a room for me due to overbooking. Melonie was very helpful and went to check to see if any rooms were clean/available. We had booked a double bed room and the only available room they had was what they call an “apartment”. We were only there for one night and super thankful to have a bed. It ended up being just like a mini apartment with a small living area, full kitchen, stacked washer/dryer, king bed, and bathroom. With that being said, it’s not the nicest place to stay. It didn’t feel very clean, one AC unit worked but the other didn’t, the closet door had been broken off and was shoved in the closet, there were two entrance doors and the little latch that hotel doors normally have had been broken off of both. Their “continental breakfast” is just juice, coffee, and a waffle maker. It’s very old and very run down. Take all of that into consideration, it was the cheapest place around like more than half the price of other hotels and if all you want is a bed for the night it does the job. I would not stay for more than one night.

This was terrible hotel, when we arrived and went to our room there was no towels, no soap, nothing not even a shower curtain, and the shower curtain rod was loose from the wall, no joke. Went to front desk and she apologized and sent someone to hang a curtain but totally unacceptable and safety lock was broken on door. The linens were very dingy and the room was unclean, could not wait for morning to come and checkout.

The room was clean and bed was comfortable but I must say that there was a lot of noise outside with others staying here as in a loud car that would come and leave and come and leave etc. and there was 2 different rooms that just kept slamming the doors late at night. I have stayed here for 4 years and never had any problems until now. I don’t know if they live here and that they just don’t stay in like most do at night. But I will say this not getting much sleep is very disappointing for this hotel. I will not stay in room 122 again!!

The rooms were shabby as expected at this price point, but I was shocked by the stink (maybe wet dog) of the room, the cigarette burn holes in the bedspread and vanity sink, and, oh my goodness, a padded toilet seat from the 1970s! The "breakfast" was just sad and limited in terms of items. The beds were good and the sheets were clean.

Staff was never around at the front desk. Breakfast is supposed to open at 0630-0930 and at 0830 no one had set up breakfast yet and the front lobby door was locked. The rooms were clean and the A/C worked. The tub spout leaked continuously. Both of the shampoo and body soap dispensers were empty. I have stayed at worse hotels but it was inexpensive and the only ones available on the date I visited the area.
