We had difficulty checking in, our code did not work, no one was at reception except for a phone number. We called and were given the lockbox combination for the physical key which we used for the duration of our stay. IDK, it was strange not having a person onsite.

No face to face with anyone as you get your room and door code via email which turned out to be very nice. I didn't know what you do if you have an issue but we didn't. Very nice, very modern room. Absolutely did not expect how nice it would be. It says the breakfast is grab and go which, to me, means a banana and muffin in a bag but it was much more of a Continental bfast with tables, etc.

There was no staff present. Everything was self-service. We were running out of toilet paper and there was none in the supply room. Also, no Kleenex tissue available. Breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. It was all bread items every day! Also, no decaf coffee.

They have no staff on duty, we decided to stop early instead of coming in later, it’s self check in and the door was broke, we were lucky to catch someone there and they knew the door was broke, it took a while to get in, then it was loud outside the rooms, it’s a decent deal for the price, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a family stay, I would recommend it if your looking for a budget stay

No value here move on

Room door beat up. Room lock code not working had to call to get lock box key which was hatd to reach for elderly ppl and impossible to see numbers at night. Table that flips down broke on unlatching it. Maintenance guy was suppose to fix next day but nope not fixed plus he wanted to leave our door unlocked while we were gone. The ice machine was broken and when working they charge for it. Soda machine out of order too. No cups for coffee just a lot of disappointed gals.

Bait and Switch Motel

My family and I planned a trip to ride the Blue Ridge Railway. We came across this motel and from the pictures it looked like a great and clean place the stay. I’m sorry to say we were disappointed and the actual motel looks nothing like the pictures. Its description says nice things but it isn’t true. The only thing nice I can say is that it was mostly quiet. I unfortunately was not able to get any type of refund and will not be staying again.
