Decent location. Definitely not fancy. The first room had a smell. Like smoke or dampness. I was given another room. It was better. Air conditioning worked well but the room was old and sparse. As a guy it was fine but if I had been traveling with my wife she wouldn’t have been happy.

It was a No frills stay, I made a complaint about one room before and I was granted another room in a different building. It was better, with a fridge/freezer and microwave. The tv had channels but there was nothing else, not even WiFi available in room. The stay turned out to be ok once the problems were addressed by the management.

So this is an interesting one. On one hand the hotel is situated in a fairly sketchy area of Route 1, but on the other hand, the property (although a bit dated) is fairly well maintained. I only stayed one night, but I’d consider staying more next time for the right price and convenience

Parking was not a problem. The problem was with the first room that I was given. The shower didn’t have a soap holder,so I had to hold the soap in my hand while I showered. The furniture was not clean and the walls were dirty and stained. I complained about the bathroom and was given another room. When I went to sleep in the bed the mattress was worn out and very uncomfortable. The walls were also stained and dirty. This was the worst experience with a room I have ever experienced

I was apprehensive when I first started my stay at The Virginia Lodge. The marquis sign is missing light bulbs that reminds one of \"missing teeth.\" Weeds grow from cracks in the parking lot and the base of buildings. My room needed a paint job as do the buildings outside. But as my stay progressed, I was impressed with the amenities provided. There is a microwave, refrigerator, cable TV and WIFI (though I did not use its WIFI). It's a pretty good value for the $62-69 per night stay that Expedia charged. Were it not for lack of property upkeep, The Virginia Lodge would be on par with the Holiday Inn.

The hotel was dated, but not too bad. Bed was clean and good, firm mattress. Room was HUGE with good blackout curtains. Bathroom was old (rusted curtain rod), but effort had been made to update. Towels were lacking- very small (that is an area where owners/managers can improve). The area was a bit \"sketchy\" right on the highway with people milling about outside at all hours. As a single female traveler I felt a bit uneasy but had no issues. I would stay here again for the price. I just needed a quick rest after getting stuck on 95 in a surprise snowstorm I was not prepared for nor desired to drive in. I continued my trip the next day with no issues.

The only reason we stayed here is because of the ONLINE price. You get what you pay for is true for this establishment.
Don't provide enough toiletries for rooms or one bar of soap for 2 travelers for hand washing AND shower SMH

The other downfall is there definitely has been someone sneaking into our room when we leave for a bit, even while sleeping as we're heavy sleepers and things are out of place, missing and found a used condom and broken glass around our bed.

The bedsheets could have been cleane.There were brown and faded red like stains on the bedsheets.And there was no more than two channels on the TV which were the news and one documentary channel there was no access to HDMI or AirPlay on the TV. I wish that there was better lightbulbs in the lamps as well the current lightbulbs they give off a unwell energy or dim.

The price point was attractive. The irony of the no smoking notices posted at the front desk and on the room's door was significant. It seemed like almost everyone around us chose this motel so that they could smoke pot in it. Our room reeked of it for most of our 2 day stay. Waves of the stench came out of neighboring rooms. I would not return to this property based on that issue. Plus, there we stains on the chairs in the room, so I didn't sit on any of them.

Room 164 should be a storage space. It’s too close to the Taj of India Restaurant. My wall is their wall. Constant noise like stacking trays and dishwashing . There is zero soundproofing between room 164 and the extreme banging of the business next door. Sounds like pure drywall and nothing else. I thought after a couple of mentions to front desk that this noise was just several minutes not several hours. How can this room be called hospitality accommodations when the occupant of the room is bombarded with workplace noise. I would politely demand a refund of booking and or a free days stay. Any inspector of this Room 164 Virginia Lodge can easily agree with me just by staying a few hours during restaurant opening to close. Its terrible. I like the layout of the room. You would sleep better if you were in someone’s backyard with music talking and barbecue grilling going on. My name is Kevin. The staff is extremely humble and helpful like family. I like them and will continue to support this business but not from Room 164
