The good part first. Very quiet and safe area. Excellent service from the front desk staff. Clean beds. On the other hand, the room carpet is disgusting. It is wet and sticky. The bathtub needs scrubbing and a new plug
Bathroom light was not working so makes me question whether it was cleaned or not.
Found dog pop dried up under the bed.
Parking was ok and car was not bothered.
The price was definitely worthy of the place.
Would not stay there again.

This has to be my worst experience staying at a truck stop. To begin with, the area where the hotel is located is inconvenient. And I'm not talking about how it's located near a highway. That's entirely fine. What I'm referring to is how the parking lot has cinder blocks all around the area, and signs stating not to park there. There's so many "Do not park here" signs scattered around the area that it makes it unclear as to WHERE you CAN park. On top of that, I had purposely booked a non-smoking room with a king sized bed due to the fact that I have asthma. Upon check in, the receptionist assigned me a smoking room with two separate beds. After complaint, he did change the room but AGAIN assigned us a smoking room. As we proceed to make our way to the convenience store (which they're using as the check-in area for guests), he proceeds to come out of the store and approach us, stating that he noticed us walking around on camera. On our third complaint, he assigned us another room. If you happened to guess if this one was smoking too? You'd be correct. Escorting us to our room, I was walking across the hotel lawn when I fell into an unmarked hole. The smell in the third assigned room wasn't as strong as the first two so I decided to just deal with it. We also had to slam the door HARD to get it to shut because the door was misaligned. The only good thing I can say about the area is that it was quiet, and if you want to be close to The King's Domain, it's across the street.
The property appears to be mainly a resting place for truck
drivers! The room I was assigned, reeked of stale cigarette order, mold around the mirror in the bathroom area, and bugs in the drawer of the night table beside the bed!! On-line picture is very deceiving!! I made reservations two weeks in advance, asked if they had a pool, they said yes, but pool was covered up, and surrounding fence was locked!! Never stayed, requested a refund 10 minutes after entering the room!!

Reserved a king room 2 weeks before trip. Arrived and given a room with 2 twins for my husband and self. We did not stay. Property was clean but in major need of renovations. It is also part of a truck stop which is not mentioned anywhere in property listings!
Every room smelled like smoke. They gave me a bottle of Febreeze to mask the smell. Dirty carpets, old worn tub and toilet, plug in bathroom did not work, no electrical plugs near the bed. The bed was an old spring bed and you could feel everyone of the springs.
It was so bad it was at a truckstop and it was nothing like the pictures online. It was so sketchy dirty there was nobody there to even check you in and I wouldn’t let my pet stay there. That’s how bad it was.
After booking and prepaying for this property, THEY DO NOT TAKE RESERVATIONS FROM EXPEDIA/TRAVELOCITY. We arrived and had nowhere to stay. Travelocity moved us to a hotel 10 MILES AWAY from Kings Dominion. Unacceptable and a fraud
When we went to check into the facility, they VERY RUDELY I might add, said they "closed their account three months ago" and refused to service us even though they were listed on the website. We drove 3 hours to go to King's Dominion just to be told our motel didn't exist anymore.
I reached out to Expedia's customer service and I'm still waiting on a refund because they wouldn't put me up in a room.
Customer service reached out to the property and apparently they said the reservation was all good, but when he tried reaching out to the property directly to confirm with them, they didn't pick up the phone.
We ended up staying at a different Hotel and I hope we get refunded back. If not, we've been scamed and are out about $165.00 dollars for two nights.
BUYER BEWARE DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY!!!
The hotel does not exist anymore under OYO. It is now travelers lodge. There is no lobby to check in as advertised in the pictures. Check in is in a run down truck stop gas station in which we were denied check in due to it not being ran by OYO anymore. We are also being denied a refund on two rooms because they marked us checked in after calling from the hotel and being hung up on 3 times to let OYO know that we were being denied check in as advised by the gentleman at the gas station check in. Even had we been allowed to check in I would have never let my children stay in this place. The outside was disgusting, I can only imagine the rooms.

Very close to Kings Dominion
Check-in was weird. The clerk just ignored me and just kept texting on his phone. Perhaps he just got some bad news because he didn't seem to be having a good night and was unfriendly and didn't talk. Finding the place to check-in was difficult. It was inside the store. The good part is that there is a fully stocked store (gas station) on the property. Don't expect much. It's a worn-out hotel. However, I didn't see any bugs. Yay. Despite being a rather dumpy motel, I'm too cheap to spend a lot of money on a nice hotel just for a few hours of sleep. Plan to stay there again for the next trip to Kings Dominion.
The hotel was disgusting
The adjoining room door was not lockable ...called front desk and nothing was done
We did not stay ...there were
Roaches in the fridge and on the walls when we came in from the concert and we left
Very disappointing and gross
I expect a refund
The lights in the room didn’t work
There where roaches in the room
You had to go to the quick store to get the key
I’m going to think there was no ac cause the two men in the room we had to pass where sleeping with no clothes on with their door open
This hotel should be closed and not available for anyone to book! There is no check in desk you have to navigate through a truck stop and enter a store to find anyone
The room had black mold all around the floor around the dresser and all plumbing fixtures!
There was 1 working channel on the tv
No internet!
Pool was fool of garbage and dirty muck!
And the worst part was the cockroaches crawling all over the place!
We took pictures and immediately left!
We were only refunded for a one night stay even though our reservation was for 2 nights! Even though we only stayed for a total of 10 minutes!
No one on the property speaks English so communication is horrible!
This place was horrible!
I’ve never seen hotels.com have a hotel like this on their site they need to remove from their list of hotels!

I liked it was cheap. Disliked the roaches. No TV. No towels. No wifi. No hooks for towels. Running toilet. 1 ply toilet paper. Need to deep clean this place or tear it down
