Jimmy

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When I got to the motel there was a sign saying they would be back in a half hour. When someone returned I was sent to a completely different motel a mile down the road. So the room was not as pictured. Bait and switch. The room was dirty. The shower was covered in hair and the toilet stained. Obviously hadn’t been cleaned well before I got there.

This establishment was a pleasure to be at due to the gentleman working. The place needs a makeover especially in the bathrooms. The cost is not comparable to the quality of the room but the place has hope.

Sorry to write this review - Room was down a hill around back (isolated feeling), bottom floor. Room "recently renovated" (not mentioned at check-in" but no room lighting, no working TV, dirty shower, didn't want to touch anything (cleanliness). No smoke detector (hole in wall), NO DEADBOLT OR CHAIN ON DOOR, only knob lock. Large gap between door and floor (safety, vermin). No amenities. Paid same price as Holiday Inn as supposedly this was the last room on the interstate in all of Virginia! Sheets on bed were clean.

We ended up here as there were no rooms available in Lynchburg. I do not usually stay in out of the way motels. This was not a great place but the rooms were clean and the personnel friendly and responsive.

Room was in rough condition. Bathroom door didn’t close. Toilet paper holder was broken from the wall. Other patches done were painted but never sanded. Carpet was dropped over existing floor but not installed. Refrigerator had something leak, dry on the bottom, and it was still there. We had a reservation scheduled for our return trip and we canceled and booked at another location.
