  • 1/5 Shaun H. 6 years ago on Google
    We booked this room based on the pictures provided and the options that were supposed to be included in this room. What isn't said about this room is how incredibly small they are, the fact that prostitutes are living below the room and coming and going in vehicles that drive up and honk the horn at all hours of the night, the doors lock doesn't work properly and the only thing that holds it closed was a chain lock that was so loose it wouldn't hold even a strong breeze out. But wait there's more... the TV is maybe from the early 90's with incredibly fuzzy picture in the one channel we could get because it required 2 remotes and we only had one. The air conditioner smelled like old rooting fish, the carpet is stained, the walls are cracked, the toilet flushes for 30 minutes before it stops and randomly flushes throughout the night. The bathroom sink has very little to no pressure and the shower only gets like warm at best. The microwave was the newest amenity that was in the room and I cannot tell you whether it worked well or not because the entire receptacle it was plugged into stopped working after it was on for less than 10 seconds. The bed was the only plus and you could tell it was very old and pets have been in this room with very little of the pet hair cleaned. I asked for a refund and I was told there is a strict no refund policy. They offered to switch rooms for me, however the room they offered was much more disgusting then the original room. This is by far the worst room I have ever stayed in. Please, PLEASE do not book here. Update: After a second discussion with the management a refund was given for this room. They were very apologetic for this inconvenience and admitted the pictures on the website are very misleading. The staff I dealt with the second discussion handled the situation very professionally. What it boils down to is you get what you pay for and with a hand shake that is how the conversation ended.

    What a horrible experience from start to finish. First of all I paid $55 for a room. All the reviews about this place are correct and I'll give you my personal experience too add Before walking to my room I already thought about how my visit would be. The front door looks like it'll give out at any moment and walking in the room wreaked of cigarettes I had to spray the room down to atleast feel more confident and it didn't help much. The carpet was so dirty that I had to wear socks the whole day the bed and the bed sheets were uncleaned followed by the pillows also bedbugs galore! The A/C unit barely did it justice if anything it just made the room smell worse and brought in insects. The bathroom was the most unsanitary part of the room. The toilet barely flushed the tiles had mildew they barely give you enough toilet paper for one person no handsoap or complementary shampoo, luckily I brought all of that with me before the trip. I had to make a quick stop to buy a cheap towel since there wasn't any and sandles for when I showered. Only decent thing about the whole experience was that the shower did get hot but took a while The photos here will give you more proof about how they keep the condition of the rooms they prepare for you and it's disgusting. I am so amazed how the owner does not care about the business. This is a HEALTH HAZZARD! I found cigarettes, a bag that carried syringes, insects and mold... Need I say more. I wouldn't pay any amount of money here again... I could write a book about this place but it's not worth my time.

    They were nice people until I found bedbugs and showed them. They then sprayed the bed with bug spray from dollar store and tried to force me to stay in that room (115). After I said I wanted to switch rooms they became very rude and denied me service and said my money was no good here,until I called the news channel.They're very nice people until you find a problem with the room. Then they switched me to room(123) for $55. The next night I tried to extend my stay they went up to $75...this place is okay if your on a budget but.....I don't know.

    The room smelled musty, the floors were dirty. the rooms themselves aren't in very good shape, I paid $60 for one night there was supposed to be free Wi-Fi and at least coffee in the morning the Wi-Fi didn't work and there was no cream and sugar for the coffee and they only give you enough coffee for one cup . There was only one towel. And the shower hardly drained. I came all the way from Oklahoma and stayed in this hotel. I have stayed in much nicer for less money. Would not really recommend.

    The place definitely needs some work. Room was musty smelling - had to open windows to get some fresh air so we could close the doors and sleep. The towels felt like card board and only one set of them in a king size bed room. The mattress was so soft it swallowed us up and they advertise in-room coffee in the Marquee, but no sugar or cream? Cheapest place in town. Ya get what ya pay for I guess!

    The rooms ain't all that great and the only thing it's really close to is at McDonald's to get something to eat or Burger King. She's not exactly the warmest place I've been

    It's a quiet motel. A little dated but great value. Very senenic surroundings. Motel staff and management were friendly and accommodating to ours families needs. Easy to walk to shopping and lots of varieties of restaurants. Pet Friendly too.

    No hot water for the shower only for the bath in room 122. But the owners are very caring and nice. Even told me something i didnt even know about horses which i work with. Every day they stop by the room to ask how we are doing and if we need anything.The housekeeper is so sweet and cleans well. Other then the hot water in the shower the place was great. I would come back!!! For the price it's worth it

    Decent hotel if you're on a budget ($50/night.) The refrigerator and ceiling fan didn't work, and it wasn't the cleanest place I've stayed in but the AC and everything else was in good working order. Clean sheets & towels and no sign of bed bugs. The lady at the office was nice. I'd stay there again if I was driving through town again.

    Dirty. Gross. Things are broken. Bugs in the bathroom. Should cost less considering how bad it is.

  • 5/5 Jay T. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff. The wifi works well. The property is being updated and renovated to give the place a great facelift and welcoming appearance. Relaxed atmosphere and staff is warm and quick to help in any way they can. I am loving the new improving appearance and updating of the place. It is coming along nicely and will be excited to see how it looks when its done

    The owners are great people and their staff. They are family oriented and willing to help you with anything they can. It's a great place to be convenient to downtown by JMU and the mall.
