The property doesn’t have even close to enough parking spots for the amount of rooms. We were told that we would just have to try to find a spot on the streets. This meant carrying our luggage down the street up a very steep driveway and up a flight of stairs because they don’t have an elevator. Also their street parking does not have proper lighting so felt a little unsafe. Also it is not dog friendly! Again had to go down stairs, down a steep driveway with no sidewalk on the side and limited visibility for cars pulling in. The room was also very crowded. We barely had enough space for a 10 pound dog!

My only complaint is, I couldn’t find any glasses or cups. That’s because they were under the sink in the bathroom. My one recommendation is for them to put up a small sign which says that that is where you can find them. Otherwise a really great stay!!!

Shakesperean-themed motel with noisy A/C and 90’s Home Depot-quality furnishings. Sad buffet breakfast—plastic food.

Disliked: Room comfort
It was wonderful to be within walking of everything in Ashland. However, the hotel needs work. The beds were horrible, broken down, back hurts. There was not adequate shampoo and conditioner for 2 people. The room was dark and depressing, needs light paint to make the space feel bigger and lighter. Getting hot water took a long time. We'd like to stay again in the future and hope these suggestions help.

This property is on Main Street and walkable to the historic Main St. Our room smelled like urine and I realized that I had booked a pet friendly room without knowing it. The front staff graciously upgraded us to a pet free room.

Great location - old smelly room.

The room smelled like dog urine. The pillows and bedding were old and lumpy. The bed had hair in it. The room was small despite it being an upgraded King room. The location was great, close to downtown and parking was easy.

Staff was great! The lobby was nice, but the guest rooms in the main building are very old. It was hard to tell this from the online photos. BW bought a 60+ year old motel and did some minor updates. It was fine, but would stay here again, especially at this price point.
