The property was decrepit. I found a roach in my room and took it to the office in a cup. I was immediately told by the manager that they are not responsible for bugs on the property and was told “ welcome to Virginia” when she said there’s roaches because of the water. My shower curtain was so wrinkled it looked like dirty Crete paper. The floor was so dirty my feet were black within a few minutes of walking on it. If I didn’t have my young child with me I would’ve slept in my car over this unkempt property.
Slower curtain was filthy and wrinkled like it’s never been changed

Good value for the $$

Abandoned a crime hotel down the street to stay here. Check in was easy. Desk clerk was nice and explained that they have a Zero Tolerance policy against “Problem Guests” Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. A few restaurants nearby, but not very walkable.

This was a last minute stay for an emergency situation and it was rough to say the least. When we first got there people were in the parking lot all sprawled out on the ground, I’m assuming they were high off of something. It was very noisy and all I heard were sirens or people all night. The room floors hadn’t been mopped and left my daughter’s socks black. The microwave smelled badly burnt. The tv in one room didn’t work. The floor was caved in our room near the window. The rooms weren’t cleaned or restocked during our entire stay. We had to go ask for everything and staff were very rude. I understand that they must get a lot of bad guests but change it. They ran out of towels which was crazy to me. Laundry facilities were out of order. No continental breakfast as posted on their site, only coffee and they never had it ready. The beds are trash and fold in the middle when you lay down. Not a pleasant experience at all.
