The dirty little shacks rented out by rude hillbillies.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Everything, especially the very rude and disrespectful staff who look like they have any number of illegal substances in their system.. it was a truly terrible experience all together.

Dirtiest and Most Unsafe Hotel I’ve Ever Stayed In
I have never stayed in a hotel as filthy and concerning as the Raceway Inn in Martinsville. The room was disgusting — there was what appeared to be feces or some other substance smeared on the walls, mold growing in the bathroom, and debris all over the carpet. The entire room smelled like a mix of mold and old cigarettes, even though I specifically requested a smoke-free room.
It honestly felt unsafe and unsanitary — a clear health hazard. The condition of this place makes it seem more like it’s used for illegal activity than legitimate lodging. I strongly warn anyone considering this place: do not stay here. It needs to be inspected and shut down until it meets even basic cleanliness standards.

Where do I begin?? We ordered a non smoking room and walked into a room with Cigarette Ashes burnt into to blankets plus
Pros:

It was close to the speedway

Cons:

Where do I begin?? We ordered a non smoking room and walked into a room with Cigarette Ashes burnt into to blankets plus the curtains. Everything was completely dirty. Beds were hard. Nothing was clean. I would trust this place with a dirty q-tip. Not to mention the room did even have a light in it and had loss wires hanging from the ceiling. Horrible experience and smell.

Worse than a crackhead’s house.
Pros:

Cons:

The room was disgusting. there was stuff all over the walls. the beds had hairs in them, the entire building had an awful smell (like weed, bleach, body odor, and semen all mixed together). would like a refund if possible. i left the keys in the room and left. didn’t even stay there.

Good
Pros:

Wonderful. The only thing is we couldn't watch the TV, there was a connection problem. I told the front desk. The problem was handled and taken care of. The other problem was the temperature control knob for the shower/bath tub came a loose. I forgot to mention to the front desk that the refrigerator was really not that clean. It appeared to be stained

Horrible. Not clean. Smells of smoke.
Pros:

Checked in. Staff was nice but the building was deteriorating and once we looked around the room…we checked back out. Smelled heavily of smoke. Stained beds, genuinely looked like a bed bug hotel. Something fell on my husband on our way down the hall and that sort of sealed the deal.

Cons:

Everything. They also had a sign proudly proclaiming “$59 a night!” To which they promptly charged us $214 for the night we didn’t even stay. RUN AWAY!!!

Unprofessional
Pros:

There were no roaches

Cons:

The facility seem like it was run by people that were very unprofessional and were smoking in the lobby and left the back door unlocked for people to come in and out
