Old, smokey, and in need of update
When reserving the room on Hotels.com, I reserved a no smoking room, but when I received confirmation and when I arrived, it was a smoking room. No notice from Hotels.com about the swap. The room was very old, needing update. sink in bathroom barely produced any water. no shampoo in room for shower and tiny bar of soap that us unusable

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!

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.

Was a peaceful trip in all but definitely don’t like the way the front desk tried charging my card with 4 different amounts for absolutely no reason at all considering I had payed when I checked in and was on my 2nd night of being here… when I called front desk to question him about it he acted as if I was lying or he was clueless. But in all it’s a peaceful hotel just way to expensive for a room that looked like it hadn’t been clean in a good year picture was off the wall sitting on floor against the wall. Microwave also hadn’t been cleaned for so long so I cleaned it myself with a white rag and when finshed the rag was so dark and disgusting I threw it away after showing and not a word being said to me about it.: and the microwave was still stained even after that from not being cleaned. Went without towels for almost 3 days due to the owners brother washing his clothes and never showin back up to get them until days later.. if your looking for somewhere to just have a quick nights rest and roll out in the morning this is your place but for extended stays definitely don’t pay this rate so not worth it

I'm the type of person who can accept a lot, especially when I stay at a cheaper hotel. However, there were things that I'd like to forewarn other travelers about. Pros, conveniently located to hike Natural Bridge State Park, which is why we were there. The room was clean and even barefoot on the carpet and bathroom floors was good. Bed comfortable with clean sheets. Hot shower. Pink Cadillac Cafe right next door was great. Cons. Do not stay in room 102 if you like watching TV. I can't speak of other rooms, but this was the most bizarre layout I'd ever seen. The TV was parallel to the beds. It sat on a dresser with the bed 6 inches away so the drawers could not be opened. There was space on the wall facing the beds for the dresser/TV, so I don't know why it wasn't there. The bathroom situation was toilet and shower in the tiniest space imaginable. A large person would have trouble fitting.

The manager is very nice. The sheets and towels were clean. The motel is VERY rundown and feels sketchy. Not for a woman traveling alone. The room smelled of cigarettes.

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.

Unable to stay at that hotel because of power loss
Was unable to stay there. The facility had no power. And had no idea when they may get power back. Had to find another motel for the North. Manager at the hotel stated that I would not be charged for that room.

We found BEDBUGS crawling on BOTH queen beds around 230am. Notified owner he assured us they spray for bugs and there was no way we found any. Did NOT offer refund or anything. We left and will never return there. Had to get another hotel at 3am!
