For the price it was an excellent place. I don’t understand when people pay a small price and expect 5 starts hotel. It has everything you need when you are driving long distance you only need a clean place with a comfortable bed. Relatively quiet, you don’t hear the Highway. And first time I pay a budget hotel that the refrigerator works. The staff very very friendly and nice people. Will go back again.

Nice place to stay

The best place to stay for us when we are in town Emporia, va. The on and off I-95 is excellent north or south bounded. The Truck stop is across the street within 2 minutes walking distance with a Huddle House and pizza restaurant. I stay here very often when traveling south. The hotel is within 10 minutes of Cracker Barrel one exit up or 301 north when the instate is backed up along with several often dinning establishments.

This property looks like it had set for years. The work that was done to make the place rentable was minimal. The place is a work in progress. The bed was good with clean sheets and pillow cases.

Good room for an affordable price. Excellent customer service that listened to and corrected my issues in a timely and efficient manner. Specifically they helped correct a mis-booked travel date. Stayed 2 nights and will stay again next time i need a room in that area.

It’ll do ..

This was our second stop here . The rooms and the hotel are old and dated but it is clean . The location feels very safe and is convenient to 95 . There is a Huddle House across the street . It’s older but still ok for a cheap overnight stay traveling on 95 . Pet friendly!

The room was kind of dirty. Cig burn in the sheets. Everything was old. I found a Walmart receipt on a shelf in plain sight that was over a year old. Walls were paper thin. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The staff was very nice. The room was dirty, the furniture old, a drawer missing out of the dresser. The door between the rooms had a broken lock. A woman approached me when I was outside the room and asked for a cigarette if I had anything to drink and money. I felt very unsafe.

For a low budget off the highway hotel this was clean, and a great location. However, the electrical system made a buzzing sound every few minutes all night long making sleep impossible. A hole in the bathtub was patched over with a plastic mat. Plenty of deferred maintenance. Also, no fresh coffee was available anywhere.

This property takes the concept of low-budget to a whole new level, and my standards aren't very high. It looked nice from the outside, but inside was pretty grungy...not dirty, just grungy. There was such an unpleasant odor in the room when I entered, (which I think was bleach) I actually thought of leaving. Also, it was skimpy with toiletries. Positives include not only a low price, but the staff was very nice and helpful, the TV and wifi worked, I felt safe, there was a cheap gas station right across the street and it was the easiest on/off the highway I ever encountered. Yes, I would go there again.

Clean, comfortable, friendly staff

Check in was quick and easy. The room was clean, no odor, and appeared to have been updated recently although it is definitely an older style motel. The room suited my needs for an overnight stay perfectly though. Everything in the bathroom worked and was clean. The bed was comfortable. The only issue I had, albeit a minor one is the temp regulation was inconsistent from the SC/heater unit. It worked fine but I could get a consistent temp so I'd wake up either too hot or too cold at times. To be fair, the weather was a bit uncooperative also, and that, I am sure, contributed. Overall, if all you need is a quick overnight stay this is a great place. Easy in, easy out convenience store across the street, and a clean comfortable room. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was for such a low cost. Can't ask for much more than that.

The place was horribly rundown and not very clean. I should have left, but after traveling all day, I was too exhausted. There was paint, peeling everywhere. The room had a disconnected smoke detector. The ceiling in the shower was so bubbled and cracked, I was afraid it would come down on my head. The towels and linens appeared clean, but were stained. I have to say, the place really needs some serious attention.
