Excellent clean updated room. Really nicer than most econo I've been to. Breakfast was nice. On arrival the elderly male at reception was a tad rude and rough speaking when I had questions. But the female the next morning was welcoming and very polite. Checkout was smooth. Overall I liked it.

Basic room for 1 gameday night. Don’t expect anything fancy but the staff were friendly. They held my bag for me when I dropped it off early because I didn’t want to carry it around the city. The room was clean, TV had enough channels. AC work very well. If you need a place to stay for a night or 2 It will do. Just know you may encounter a few homeless folks wandering around the street.
For what you would expect from an basic econolodge. I gave 5 based on what they are. They are a 2 star motel. Compared to other 2 star motels they are a 5 star rating. Renovated and in good condition and they care.
We stayed here overnight after attending a UVA game. It was clean and big and comfortable, and the surrounding area was quiet.

The room was very clean and in good repair. I didn't know there was a breakfast option till too late and the person i spoke to at the beginning of my reservation was a bit snippy seeming. The beds were comfortable and complimentary toiletries of good quality were provided. There's also an excellent chinese restaurant right across the parking lot.
Everything was good. Staff were friendly and such. I do apologize for the confusion of losing something as I left it at home during the time I was rushing to get to this place. Overall everyone was understanding and nice to me. I recommend this place for sure.
They are really understanding people and they arent rude at all I would stay here any day over a few hotels.and very clean definitely would tell my friends about them.
This is a simple, no frills, kind of place. The room was very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy and the front desk staff were friendly. There was even a light, continental breakfast provided each morning. I definitely recommend this hotel.

The room wasn't inviting at all. Shower didn't drain well. Finished showering in a pool of water.
Free breakfast was a joke.
It's cheap for a reason.
2 stars for friendly staff.
