About what you would expect from one of these older motels. Our room was clean, the shower was strong and hot, and the location was close enough to Skyline Drive. Good for a night or two.

Lovely stay, quiet. While bed was older I still slept great and the room was very clean. The bathroom was in excellent condition with the 1950’s flair that matched the hay-day of the Shenandoah National Park; good tap water and no drain problems. And best of all the carpet squares were new and I could walk barefoot. Very nice stay.
