Absolutely an excellent room. One of the best mattresses I have ever slept on! Great bar with Keuri coffee maker, coffee pods, real creamer, etc. Microwave and a sink! Great TV with Tubi for movies.
Only negative, they need to update the outside!

Clean and comfortable room. No staff on site, however , when I encountered issues with my reserved room, a staff came to give me the keys to the new room. No breakfast as advertised. Otherwise location is very accessible to the main road.

The room was clean, slightly dated. The instructions for check-in were very clear. However, the keypad was not functioning and the code for the lock box was incorrect. The staff quickly moved us to another room which we were able to enter with no problem.

Great spot
Very good location for a one night stay on a longer drive. The hotel itself has been updated and the rooms are nice generally. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the building has a beautiful view of the mountains. Will definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

the room was great. clean and comfortable. the only issue was the thin walls so the dogs barking was annoying. also the room randomly smelled like cigarette smoke so i did not like that. especially because we had a no smoking room and all the rooms around us were no smoking. the smell was coming through the air vents. not a fan of that. but overall it was a decent experience

Don't judge too quick
If you have heard the old saying "don't judge a book by its cover" this place is what it refers to. From the outside you would almost think the property is shut down, however when you open your room it is beautiful. And checking in couldn’t be easier, it is like a VRBO.

Bait and Switch Motel
My family and I planned a trip to ride the Blue Ridge Railway. We came across this motel and from the pictures it looked like a great and clean place the stay. I’m sorry to say we were disappointed and the actual motel looks nothing like the pictures. Its description says nice things but it isn’t true. The only thing nice I can say is that it was mostly quiet. I unfortunately was not able to get any type of refund and will not be staying again.
