Cleanliness
4.8
Mixed but leaning negative: multiple reports of bed bugs, stains, dirty bathrooms and pervasive smoke smell overshadowed some guests' comments that rooms were clean.
Service
9.6
Generally praised for friendly, accommodating staff and a few standout front-desk employees and managers (early check-in, helpful interactions), though isolated reports of rudeness and inattentive clerks were noted.
Location
8.3
Convenient for trips (New River Gorge cited) and acceptable for an overnight stay, but some guests found the surrounding property uncomfortable or poorly presented.
Room Quality
5.2
Several room problems: sloped beds, floppy pillows, poor water pressure, slow/running toilets, clogged sinks, freezer issues and key problems; a few guests found rooms comfortable.
Amenities
5
Limited and inconsistent: basic/free breakfast with limited options, reported dirty pool and no actual spa despite advertising, freezer unusable for some, parking adequate.
Value for Money
9
Frequently highlighted as budget-friendly and good price (including pet-friendly value); some guests felt price didn’t match property condition, but value perception is broadly positive.
Food and Beverage
3.7
Consistently criticized: breakfast described as terrible/limited/worthless, lack of hot items and gluten-free options; coffee commonly available but food quality poor.
Overall Experience
8
Varied stays: acceptable for travelers seeking a cheap, basic overnight with helpful staff, but recurring cleanliness and amenity issues negatively impacted many guests' experiences.

Budget friendly, practical needs met, but nothing to impress.
Pros:

I really appreciated the price for allowing a pet stay.

Cons:

I have celiac disease and would have appreciated more gluten free options at breakfast. I got coffee, and ate food that I brought from home. Our freezer was mostly a block of ice, and we couldn't use it the way we'd hoped.

Cons:

Beds sloped to one side pillows were floppy. One of the nights room key didn’t wok. Had to go to front desk to reprogram the keys.
