Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews report extremely dirty rooms and bathrooms, musty/odd smells, apparent lack of housekeeping and several specific incidents (soiled tubs, toilets needing multiple flushes).
Service
8.5
Generally strong praise for front-desk staff (named shout-outs to Bill, Jason, Joy) and helpfulness, though there is at least one report of an arrogant/unprofessional receptionist and slow response to cleanliness complaints.
Location
9
Consistently praised for location and views—convenient to Luray Caverns, Skyline Drive and scenic Blue Ridge viewpoints; many guests highlight the setting and accessibility.
Room Quality
5
Rooms described as outdated and worn (old furniture, leopard print, dial microwave), sometimes small for families; some guests found beds comfortable but there are repeated notes of maintenance issues (breaker trips, broken shower parts, toilet problems).
Amenities
5.5
Basic amenities only: lobby coffee is noted positively but there is no hot breakfast for many guests, no elevator, some broken items (charging ports) and overall limited/upkeep issues.
Value for Money
6.5
Mixed impressions: several guests felt the price was fair or a good deal for the location and view, while a few felt it was too expensive given the upkeep and cleanliness problems (peak weekend complaint).
Food and Beverage
5
No hot breakfast available for many guests (noted as an inconvenience by several), though lobby coffee received positive comments.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall mixed but leaning positive for many: excellent staff interactions and spectacular views produced several strong, repeat and family-oriented recommendations despite cleanliness and maintenance shortcomings.

Cons:

the room was extremely dirty, and the bathroom was just as bad. it seemed like there was no housekeeping serivce at all at this motel. I reported the issue to the receptionist, but he was very arrogant and unprofessional. I also spoke with the manager about the condition of the room. but nobody seemed to care or take any action to address the problem. Iam very disappionted with the poor cleanliness and terrible customer serivce. i would not recommend this motel to anyone!
