This establishment was a pleasure to be at due to the gentleman working. The place needs a makeover especially in the bathrooms. The cost is not comparable to the quality of the room but the place has hope.

We ended up here as there were no rooms available in Lynchburg. I do not usually stay in out of the way motels. This was not a great place but the rooms were clean and the personnel friendly and responsive.

Sorry to write this review - Room was down a hill around back (isolated feeling), bottom floor. Room "recently renovated" (not mentioned at check-in" but no room lighting, no working TV, dirty shower, didn't want to touch anything (cleanliness). No smoke detector (hole in wall), NO DEADBOLT OR CHAIN ON DOOR, only knob lock. Large gap between door and floor (safety, vermin). No amenities. Paid same price as Holiday Inn as supposedly this was the last room on the interstate in all of Virginia! Sheets on bed were clean.
