I've had better for the price...
Let me start by saying this is my second time staying here. The first room I was in was in MUCH better condition than the most recent one. The outlet behind the bed had duct tape over it so it couldn't be used. which meant the only other outlets were on the other side of the room where the TV and fridge were plugged in. The TV didn't work and I had to plug my phone in across the room which left me with lots of free time to assess the condition of this room, which left lots to be desired. The bathroom was recently "renovated" so that was OK. however I had to leave my socks by the bed and put them on whenever I got out of bed because the carpet was gross and sticky and left a gross residue on the bottom of my feet. The only upside to this room was it was around the back of the building and didn't have neighboring rooms so it was significantly quieter than the previous room I was in. Also the ladies working the desk were downright delightful and a pleasure to experience. I wish I had their names so I could shout them out.

front desk informed me HOTELS.COM falsely reserve rooms that are NOT available. your reservation list is NOT the real list used at the hotel. I did not stay because there was NOT a king bed / smoking. All they had left was a DOUBLE bed. Watch out with hotels.com NOT TRANSPARANT and truthful !!!

First of all, we reserved a room with 3 beds, it was the last one, but that's what we reserved. I called the reception to let them know that we were late... no problem they said... That room wasn't available when we showed up...
Second. It was midnight, not good illumination in the room, but enough to see that was a really old and not well maintained, not clean... of course.
Third. I told my children not to walk barefoot because the carpet was disgusting, and glad I did. When we woke up, a cockroach was having a party on that carpet and we found some bug parts in between the sheets.
The worst motel/hotel we've ever stayed... by far..., period.
I understand now why it was the only option available close to kings dominions that night.

Close to work.
The staff was great. The hotel is just very run down. We asked for non smoking, the smell from smoke was so strong it would cling to my hair and clothes. That made it miserable for me. No other rooms available, but I'm sure it would have been the same. I bought candles to help the smell.

Afordable, not bad for what you pay
So first the night time attendant took forever to get to the desk. It was late and I am sure he was asleep, but it was cold and I rang the door multiple times before calling another couple. Once finally checked in the room #4 had been upgraded in the ways they plan to upgrade. The Bathrooms we clean and newly re done. I liked the tile in the shower, it just didnt drain very well. The bed was comfortable,
We used our own sheet on top of the blankets and our own blanket. The Heat was cold... it is an old Motel and you can tell that, while upgrading the could have used some spackling to fill in cracks and dents for a face lift. For what you pay though, other then the spider I woke up to in my hair that I picked up and tossed accross the room in my groggy state( I did get up and find/kill him). It is a place to sleep if you are staying a couple nights.
I would recomend if you didnt plan to do anything but sleep and shower in the room...

Not far from Richmond Raceway
The door to the front desk and there was at least a 5 minute wait for someone to appear to open it. The light run by the switch inside the door had a short and the light did not stay lit. The room was very small. All of the outlets had space showing around them and the plaster was falling away around the air conditioner. The room and bedding were clean although there weren't enough clean towels or washcloths! The price was cheap so I guess we got what we paid for!

Cheap, but run down condition.
Condition of room was run down (room was attached to main lobby rather than majority of rooms). Location was good for a Kings Dominion visit (10 mins away). Suitable for a cheap short stay.

Our stay was good, no frills motel. Beds were comfortable. Motel was old and in a condition conducive to the price. Owners maintain property to the best of their ability for the cost. I would stay again. Great for a bed and overnight stay.

Nice Little Motel After Long Day at Theme Park
This is not a bad place to stay while passing through along I-95. We took our 3 children to Kings Dominion and just needed an inexpensive place to sleep before heading on to Myrtle Beach. After staying in a nearby motel last trip, I was leary to book another but we needed to stay under budget. We checked in easily at 11:30pm. Owners live on site. The room was comfortable and did not smell like smoke, bit it DID smell like curry due to being adjacent to the owners' apartment. Beds were higher end than expected with nice linens and comfortable. Flat screen TV was a nice plus as well for the price. The bathroom was a bit sad, but functional. There was a hand towel that someone left hanging on the mirror that housekeeping must have overlooked. The mini fridge did not work but we didn't need it so I didn't factor that into my review. The area was safe and looked better in the day time than at night. Overall, it was a modest, no frills, clean motel to stay in after a long day. I would book it again. We were pleasantly surprised once we went into the room...the decor was more updated than I expected.

Very good value
The owners/managers are very nice people. The room didn't have a grounded outlet in a convenient location, so they provided us with a power strip that had a nice long cord. The property is old, but well-maintained and clean and the water pressure is good. My only complaint is that the toilet handle has to be held down a long time for the toilet to flush! Overall it's a very good value.

Great value
The property is clean and well-maintained inside and out. Only its age and a few minute details kept me from giving it five stars - the floor behind the headboards and around the fridge, the ceramic towel bar, the top of the medicine cabinet and one of the mirrors were not clean, and there was no electrical outlet in the bathroom. Altogether it was a great value - when we found that work was going to have us in Ashland for a second night, we didn't hesitate to book a room there again.

Good hotel for a 1 night stay going to or from FL
This hotel was clean and neat although the decor is dated. I was only looking for something like this to stay one night on a trip back from FL. It seemed like a decent area - better location than the last hotel I stayed at in Petersburg, VA. The bed was overly soft but I was able to sleep OK. -- With a little effort and expense by management this room could have been made more pleasing but it was OK for 1 night.

Dont let the outside fool you, good, quality motel
Older motel situated near a busy road yet, once the ac was on it was blissfully quiet. The TV had many great channels unavailable in chain motels and the management staff was very nice. The room style we booked was unavailable but the manager called us right away and we worked things out. We'd recommend this place over many of the chain places.
