Liked: Cleanliness
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Not a great experience.

The room was very nice. the room was very clean. However there were no creamers in the room. Do not fall for the free breakfast. It was a joke. Few honeybuns few chocolate muffins and no coffee cups or creamer again. Also You have to pay for the ice so make sure you bring in cash with you and coins.
