Orange is the new Black

This Ho-Jo is run by a family of hard-working, pleasant, and friendly-in-the-elevator folks- I’m going to say this applies to 90% of the family - I’ve stayed here multiple times as my 96 year old Dad lives in Staunton- love, love, love this beautiful little town by the way- I highly recommend this Ho-Jo as a clean, quiet, comfortable place to stay- it doesn’t feel commercial and corporate > feels like family - and it’s MUCH cheaper than all other places in Staunton- an excellent value- don’t be an orange hater 😉

Staunton 9/13-14

Love the location of this hotel, walkable to everything in Historic Staunton, friendly owner at front desk. Love that it is all dog-friendly with a reasonable fee so next time I am in town I can bring my doggo. Stars appropriate for this hotel and price point, anyone looking for fancier lodging while in town have other options. I asked for a fridge and was able to get a room facing the town with a fridge.

Cigarette smoke smelled room

The room was dirty and smelled like smoke really bad. Chairs had stains on them. They didn’t have another room to put us in so the said they would give us a refund and to have y’all call the hotel so y’all can cancel the order. We left and stayed at the red roof inn that night.
