The room needs to be cleaned better. The sheets had red stains on them that seemed to be old. It looked like blood. The bathroom was missing a shower head. The microwave oven was not working. There was just one bath towel for two persons. The hand and face towels smelled like they had been used in the kitchen. They smelled really bad. The tub was very dirty, like if it had not been cleaned for months. The sides and floor of the tub were black with dirt. It was awful!, overall. I will never stay there again.

It was a late check in, tired, and wanted to rest. The room was very hot. AC would not go or even set below 80 degrees even after 20 mins or so. Also 4 stink bugs was congregated on top of the curtains. Top it off, the fire alarm was just hanging by the wire from the ceiling. I promptly turned the key back and left. Maybe I am just one off but cannot recommend

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I have stayed here before, but this was tge last time. I stayed 4 days and 3 nights. My room was never serviced. The bathtub and toilet were disgustingly dirty. I bought two gallons of bleach to disinfect them both. One gallon into the tub with straight hot water filled and let sit for a couple of hours. The ice machine was not working, so there was a cooler with a few frozen bags of ice to get some. I took two showers. The water was plenty hot, and the water pressure was great. A full sized fridge, but no water supply for ice. No coffee service. Cold AC. But I have nothing else good to say. The location is convenient to Natural Bridge, but overall, I just cannot justify ever staying here again.

Cheap motel but had all I needed.

Cheap motel but everything I needed for just 1 night stay. People running the place were very helpful. Was convenient to have the diner next door. Decor all a bit dated, but everything worked and it was a good nights stay.

Go anywhere else.

Place is a dump. Go anywhere else. Place is totally overpriced given the state of the place. Carpet is old and filthy. Comforter had a huge stain. Shower floor is discolored with big black patches. Did not use because it looked so bad. Walk above sink has old dirt and nasty stains. Wall heater covered with dust. I think this place may be used as a homeless shelter. There was an industrial size jack sitting in the parking spot in front of our room. Piles of junk and mismatched patio furniture outside the rooms in the back. People hanging out with room doors hanging open like they lived there. Gave me the creeps.
