Very nice clean room with a nice bathroom. A quiet place. Close to all types of food... easy access to the interstate. I came for the Virginia gun rally and it was a perfect location with no traffic. You're passing through it's a good little place to stay. People who are complaining are probably the type the owners know will make a mess or destroy their property. So they felt need to give them the rules. They were polite and quick to get me checked in. No complaints I have a comfortable 2 nights stay. Two nights I paid $124 total

I stopped in on my way back to go south to get rest after visiting family an hour away. The room is comfortable and budget friendly. The lady at the front desk was very nice to me. If I get to visit here in Virginia again I most likely will stay here again. It's convenient for gas and shopping.

I have stayed at this hotel several times in 2013, and each time was a pleasant stay. The rooms are always clean. The hotel is very quiet. The beds are comfortable. The Staff is friendly and very responsive. The rate is great for the location with chain eateries within walking distance and within two miles of the Richmond Airport. I highly recommend for the price conscious and safety conscious traveler.

Needed a affordable hotel and my husband and I were aware of this hotel because one night when I kicked him out and he stayed at here with no complaints. So we called it was late at night and he said he would wait for us to get here before he kinda packed it in for the night, which was a good sign of customer service! The rate was 80 a night for weekday, 90 weekends. The rooms are pretty basic design wise, meaning they don't have fancy art and quirky furniture. But! The carpet was not sticky. The room was noticably clean and smelled clean, it was even a smoking room but had no smoke smell. The beds and pillows were actually REALLY comfortable. Not so bumpy and tiny. The inside of the drawers were clean not stained and none of them stuck. No dust anywhere. Great water pressure in shower and really clean tub/shower. I will say they could update their shower heads but, there was no grime on the lines there. Just older. I'm of the belief though if it's not broke don't fix it. It worked beautifully. It was quite on s Friday and Saturday night. I couldn't hear anyone's TV and I had neighbors on both sides of me. The owners are the best thing about this hotel though. I can tell This is their baby and they take pride in it. They're friendly and kind, wonderful people. I will come back here any day any time.
