Travel for business
Needed to be economical on this trip.
Very clean, wonderful hot shower and very comfortable bed.
Stayed 2 nights. Good decision.
Great location and low noise level.
Host, Patel, was very helpful and made me feel welcome
He upgraded my room too! He found I was traveling solo and offered a better room. Much Nicer room than I had booked.
Highly recommend.

Room wasn't bad except for the tub not draining... Staff had a great attitude, super nice... problem... they charge a $50 deposit which you get back when you check out... they were supposed to give my deposit back on my card... instead he gave me cash... waited until we were over an hour away and called and wanted us to drive back to give the cash back...we we heading to meet family that hasn't been seen in a while...had a time limit to get there...and then he added it back to my card...was demanding us turn around right then...told him we couldn't turn around...told him we would send it back electronically...he still demanded we bring back...told him we had no problem giving it back... that's why we were going to send it electronically...he wouldn't do that so we told him he would have to wait until we were finished with what we were doing.....we had to drive 3hrs to give it back... won't be staying there again.

Classic motel-parking outside door, well lit. Very friendly and accommodating gentleman at reception. He mentioned there would be fresh coffee made by 7am…when I smiled and said I would be leaving early for my long road trip, he kindly offered to get up and have the coffee made by 6am!! I thanked him and declined, saying he needed sleep more than I needed coffee…so I can’t comment on how good it would have been :-) But the service attitude was top notch.

Absolutely disgusting, filthy, yuck! Here's why. Upon check-in the place was very disorganized and we were given a literal key. We go to the room and the scent of mildew or mold spores greet you upon entering. It's late so we have to make the best out of this. I walk over to turn the old AC unit on and it's filthy, dust, dog hair human hair, I couldn't tell, bugs. From that point forward straight downhill. The carpet felt sticky, the remote control made me cringe. We go over to wash our hands and get this, there is only scorching hot water coming out of both water lines, unbelievable. We look in the old tub shower combo that couldn't be use because of the water and it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. It was dirty with soap scum all in it. Then they had the audacity to leave a container of Ajax under the sink, you can't make this stuff up. The towels and wash cloths was very used. The nightmare continues but you don't have to live through it, spare yourself, spend just a little more this time. We booked three nights but left early the next morning knowing we wouldn't receive a refund. These people should have brought a pig farm instead of a motel!!! Expedia Family you have been truthfully warned.

If it could go wrong it did

I already left 1 review. Not sure why I got another email to review the room. We were satisfied with the room, it appeared clean for the most part and the bed was comfortable. The weather sucked…we were there when Helene made landfall affecting surrounding states. The weather caused a power outage. We were supposed to be there 3 nights. 1st night was great then due to the power outage the next morning we ended up leaving around 3:30 the 2nd day cause the power had already been out for almost 5 hours. Since the hotel could not provide all the services we paid for we requested a refund. We were told we would get a refund since it was Friday and the power was suspected to be out til Sunday or Monday. No fault of the hotel.

A little off the beaten path, but worth it.

The entrance\exit to the parking area is sloped down to the street with the street sloping upward. This causes the front of my car to scrape going in or out. The hotel itself is very reasonably priced, the room was very clean, and it was well furnished. I have used them twice on my way home from Florida, and I will use them again.

This was an excellent choice for a budget-friendly selection. It was the off-season, so I got a very attractive price. The motor inn is an older facility but has been well maintained and updated enough to have all of the conveniences you might expect. The room was very clean and simple. Everything worked well. The water was hot and had plenty of pressure in the shower. As far as economy hotels go, this should be among those at the top of your consideration. NICE, SIMPLE, CLEAN, and SECURE.

Hidden gem, Great place to stay!

This is an excellent place to stay. The staff were friendly and kind. The room was clean and the beds were AMAZING!!! My best friend and I stayed here on our 5-day trip through West Virginia. This was our 1st stop on the trip. We were pleasantly surprised. Yes, the motel is older, but I think it has charm. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't require a brand-new motel experience. This place was safe and quiet. I slept like a baby. We had everything we needed, which included fresh hot coffee in the morning. I like how your parking spot is your room as well. You don't have to go far if you have a lot to carry.

When we arrived to check in and again the morning, I had to call on my cell phone to get anyone to come to the desk. There was NO HEAT. When I called, she said \"it would warm up.\" We gave up and at 11:30 pm went to sleep in a 50 degree room and woke up in a 50 degree room. We left at 8:30 am and asked to change rooms. She said she would try to fix the heat. After our friend's funeral, we decided to drive 4 1/2 hours home rather than stay again. Expedia contacted hotel about refunding second night that we did not stay; hotel refused because they had offered alternative. I stopped by, and she then said because she now had another room ready, their cancellation policy was no refund after 6pm the day before check-in. And that's ignoring the used soap in the shower dish, the mildew on the curtain, and the hair on the floor in front of the bathroom sink. I have never left a negative review for anything on any platform. I always support local, but *stay somewhere else*.
