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.

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.

There was a terrible smell in this room! The bed was like a hill in the middle. Second bed had a spread on it that had a large hole. It looked like it hadbeen chewed. I ended up going outand sleeping in my car at 3 am.

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.

Ok hotel, nasty diner!
Ok room. Paid for a queen sized bed and got a full sized bed. Small rooms. Amazing water pressure in the shower. Hardly any in the sink. Don’t eat at the diner though! Horrible, horrible, disgusting food!

There was no one above you or below you. Easy to move in and out. The diner was wonderful and in walking distance.
