Great location right off of 81 and very close to JMU. The room was updated and very clean. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. There weren't a lot of options at the breakfast but it was enough for our quick stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Extremely clean and quiet. Friendly staff. Back patio with firepit was perfect for relaxing. Conveniently located. Only downfall was the breakfast. Could have had a little more variety and replenished more. Other then that. Perfect!

I was worried about breakfast - hard boiled eggs and cream cheese were not kept cold. But other than that, great experience. Very clean and well run.

The property was clean. Room was basic. Security into the back door was lax. Don’t waste your time with the breakfast bar.

Upon arrival to our assigned room, it had not been cleaned and still looked occupied. Front Desk staff was surprised and caused us panic when she stated the hotel was sold and there may not be another available room. After 5 minutes, she was apologetic and found us a clean room. No EV chargers. Nothing hot food or protein for included breakfast. Yogurt machine dispenser was not sufficient. Room was quiet and comfortable. Water pressure was very weak.

We stopped here on a 2 day road trip to visit family, so it was for one night. We also had our dog with us ($75 pet fee, but we knew it was going to be extra before we left). Staff was helpful when we arrived, and when we left. Room was spotless and comfortable. A/C unit was a bit loud when it kicked on (probably can’t change that since it’s a manufacturer issue?), but otherwise everything went really well. Beds were comfortable and clean, and the stay went as expected. Breakfast offerings were spartan, though for the price it made sense. Overall, I’d say the whole experience was 9/10. If you’re passing through and need a reasonably priced and comfortable place to stay, I’d say it’s well worth it.
