Pros:

It was close to venues I was attending but that was the only positive.

Cons:

The cost to quality ratio, $250 for two nights at a beaten up, lack luster motel with a dirty bathroom, absentee management, and an unlocked window propped open by a roll of toilet paper. Such class.

Pros:

Conveniently located next to a restaurant! The room was comfortable, the bed was relaxing, plenty of channels to watch on tv in the evening. The location was very central to the places I was going to.

Cons:

Some of the wall paper was peeling in the bathroom. Some very miner scuff marks on furniture. Could use some updates.

Double charged for double bugs
Cons:

We got double charged for the room. Once from booking.com and once from Mt. Vernon themselves. I showed them and even printed the booking.com receipt. They ignored me and told me to take it up with booking.com and my credit card company. We checked in at 4pm on Saturday. Went to eat. Came back around 6:30 to shower and relax. They said they have HBO - what they mean is they have 5 hbo channels on cable tv. No biggie. I go to shower and there’s bugs everywhere. Not photoed was the bug eggs in the shower I saw and immediately cleaned up for them. I checked out at 7pm the same Saturday due to being so uncomfortable.

Pros:

Close to work.

Cons:

I think it needs some upgrades microwave didn't work every time I flushed the toilet i thought it was going to break. Sink was a rough shape. . Air system looked like it needed to be clean. The people next door checked out and left the door open. I think it was open all day. I.closed it when I got there from work. Overall not great. Price good though.

If you like an insect infestation, then this is the motel for you.
Pros:

Linens were clean.

Cons:

Dozens of flies hatched on the second night of our stay. We had an infestation. The more I killed, the more they kept appearing. No one was staffed at night or even in the morning when I left. I called the 2 numbers posted on their door. No answer, but an hour later a man showed up with a fly swatter and broom, which I requested via voicemail in desperation. What I really wanted was another room. I didn't get any sleep that night. No apology, no offer to refund my stay, no nothing.

It served my needs and the location was perfect for me -- it's out in the country with great views.
Pros:

1. I liked that there were so many windows in the room, and the views were lovely. It is out in the country. It was an inexpensive room but you could see both the sunrise and the sunset. There was also a window in the bathroom. Three windows in all. 2. The manager was attentive to needs, even though it is a budget place. There was a very nice fridge, and an adequate microwave and TV.

Cons:

There's traffic noise from Lebanon Road. There is no noise buffer. The wifi was not reliable in the room, but everything worked out anyway, and the manager would have allowed me to sit in the office on the couch to use the office wifi if I had needed to.
