We had to wait almost an hour for someone to showup to sign in.
Run down not like pictures. No one was there to check me in. I waited an hour called hotel several times no answer . Finally found another guest who was able to contact owner so I could check in . Room smelled and tub in bathroom was sinking into floor . Will not be back
Everyone here is so nice and welcoming I wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

The place is very close to the natural bridge, (4mi) and close enough to Lexington as well. The rooms are a bit dated, the bed had a burn mark (non smoking room...?) and it allows pets. The room next door had a dog that kept barking every time I moved around my room. There are probably better options out there.
I could not say anything bad about this property. The only disadvantage is no ice machine, and after 11pm there are no stores open in the area, next store would be 11 miles.
