The room was great, but the bathroom was less than desired. It was surprisingly large well layed out room. However, the bathroom was not clean. This may be because it was a last minute booking though

This was a great little hotel. The owner was very, very friendly and helped get me into an accommodating room right away. The area was very nice. I felt safe. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you are on a budget. Very budget friendly but clean, friendly and safe. Nice area.

Rough experience. They couldn’t find a room key for my room at check in. Lobby is a hodgepodge of miscellaneous junk. I’ve stayed her years ago and it was better. Now just a tired motel going down hill fast. Waited about 45 minutes for them to clean another room to use.

I can't really rate it because they gave away my paid for room prior to my arrival. And yes - I arrived about 45 minutes prior to the 11:00 p.m. office closure. Neither would they refund my money explaining that it could only be refunded to Expedia.

Very old but I like that. Real wood paneling. A small couch in the room. Chairs and table outside the door. Screen door so you can leave door open without flies. It was raining so the room was really cozy.

A Place to Lay Your Head

A little worse for wear. Still, a nice old-school motel for people on a budget, looking for a place to lay their heads for the night. I would return.

Very bad experience. The room was filthy (band aid on the bathroom floor, bad smell in the room, one of the bed missing bedsheets and showing dirty stains). We were given another room but this time the toilet flush was not working (heard water flowing all night) and the cleanliness was still suspicious.

The staff/owner were wonderful. The property seems under renovation and/or newly purchased with some repairs still needing to be made. Rates reflect, in my opinion, a good price even so. Beds were very comfortable and I had a good night's sleep. The owner was willing to be present to me at midnight on a late arrival with very little notice. Several restaurants within a mile. Charming area.

Employees are very friendly and responsive and there is a good, cheap diner across the street. The price is right. Just understand that this is a cheap motel with the connotations that may summon. They had to move me to another room after someone next door to me began yelling and thumping--maybe in withdrawal? All residents must be in by 11pm. Works for biking the C&O.

Old old old! And dirty

The room was okay but dirty, the bed sheets had blood stains on them and the bathroom was disgusting, nothing the cleaning service could do, the entire place needs overhauled, there were hardly any rooms taken and they put us next to someone who I suppose lives there and they weee up all night talking and laughing. So much for some peace and quiet. The girl at the front desk was very nice and personable but I would never stay here again or recommend this hotel
