I always stay here when visiting family in Staunton. The main reason? Because of the service!! They are so nice and accommodating! Yes, it is older and dated a bit, but they recently gave the place a fresh paint job and are doing their best. Thank you

The first room we were in was 301. Went to go to bed and a wet spot came up from under the sheet. Smelled like urine. I have pictures. Pulled the sheet off and the bed pad had a large urine spot and smell on the bed pad. The pad also had several other stains. Very nice front desk staff took me to another room to preview all looked ok. Turns out that room didn’t have hot water. When checking out I mentioned the hot water issue and was told it takes a while to warm up. I had let it run for 20 minutes without any hot water coming in. Breakfast items were stored on the floor of a utility closet off of the lobby. (Was left wide open for patrons to see). After laying in someone else’s urine the first day I wasn’t eating breakfast there anyway.

Although the outside could use some paint, we were very happy that the rooms were clean and fresh. They came in each morning to make beds. The hotel is in walking distance to downtown! Also has a great Mexican food place across the parking lot. Dollar General a few blocks away for anything you might need. The breakfast is a bit sad with no eggs or sausage. But, there are some great mom and pop breakfast places in a few minutes drive. Loved the area. Well worth the money. We also went with another couple and had adjacent rooms. Staff was very nice. Parking is right there in front of hotel.
