Cheap motel but had all I needed.
Cheap motel but everything I needed for just 1 night stay. People running the place were very helpful. Was convenient to have the diner next door. Decor all a bit dated, but everything worked and it was a good nights stay.

Go anywhere else.
Place is a dump. Go anywhere else. Place is totally overpriced given the state of the place. Carpet is old and filthy. Comforter had a huge stain. Shower floor is discolored with big black patches. Did not use because it looked so bad. Walk above sink has old dirt and nasty stains. Wall heater covered with dust. I think this place may be used as a homeless shelter. There was an industrial size jack sitting in the parking spot in front of our room. Piles of junk and mismatched patio furniture outside the rooms in the back. People hanging out with room doors hanging open like they lived there. Gave me the creeps.

Need a serious makeover
First of all this place was pet friendly neglected to say that you had to pay for your pet. The bathroom toilet was built, ready to fall off it very very crappy upkeep very very dirty. The cleanest thing in the room was the sheets in the pillowcases, but they look brand new. The electric wires for the AC was falling out of the wall and had to unplug that the wires for the TV that was falling out the wall according to hotel.com that I use all the time it was told that it had one room left. They had the whole hotel empty. I would not recommend this place unless they bother to get some paint. They need the beds all fixed in there the curtains the walls. I have several pictures the bathroom alone I mean, that’s just it’s disgusting. Very very disgusting the in room telephone was full of dust thick dust. I had to unplug the AC because it was smell like burnt coming out of it Just very unhappy all the way around.

Room was nice, no real issues other than no coffee maker. Parking lot and entrance need a lot of maintenance. Property has no amenities but the location is convenient. Its a bit pricey for what is offered but overall not too bad.

Family vacation stay
For $80 a night I was expecting something updated and without a loose toilet. The toilet was not secured to the floor, the gap under the door took two bath towels to block, but the staff was incredible.

This is a no frills motel, but for a night or two it's ok. Staff was friendly and accommodating, rooms were pretty clean, beds comfortable, towels were old, but seemed clean.

We spent the weekend here visiting Washington and Lee University. It was clean, quiet, reasonably priced, and close by the university. We also, went to Natural Bridge and did a short hike. It was convenient having the Pink Cadillac diner right aside of the property. The food was good.

Linens were clean but other areas of the room were questionable. No water on the second night and morning but they did refund that day. It appears they've attempted to keep the property up but details were very lacking.

I’ve never stayed in a motel this filthy. The bed was clean and comfortable, but the drapes and walls were just plain dirty.
