I usually never leave negative reviews because I know things happen. Do NOT stay here. BEDBUGS in my bed. BEDBUGS all in my luggage and on my clothes! When I informed the front desk and Expedia, I was told I could not get a refund for two of the nights, because I stayed the night the first night and didn't check out before 11 the next day. I found the bugs at 12pm. Never again. I am also having to miss a full day of work so that I can go home and decontaminate all of my things!

Comfortable, clean, quiet, and convenient. We used it for a visit to Lexington, an evening at the Lime Kiln theatre, and a visit to Natural Bridge. Also very affordable in an area where most alternatives are much more expensive.

Old Gem Ruined

There are a few live in residents who are loud. Walls are thin. Nobody is ever at the front desk. No amenities. Woke up after a sleep on a terrible mattress desperately needing a cup of coffee but there was no breakfast whatsoever.

Disliked: Amenities
No staff interaction after check in. Difficult to understand. The location was good for our purposes. Easy to control the room temperature. The room has had a few upgrades, but definitely was way overpriced for what it offered. Bedspread had spots. Pillows were flat. Ironing board cover wasn't even on the ironing board. Refrigerator needs to be cleaned and freezer part to be defrosted.

I called to ask for a 3 hr early check in to just leave our luggage before going to friends home because we would be returning late, after dark to the hotel. At 1st, manager said extra $10. I said nevermind. I then called back and said we would come at 12:30-12:45 to get checked in. He said no extra $20 fee and i dai thanks we'd arrive 12:30. We went to the hotel and a note said"on Break" so we couldnt check in for about 45 minutes. We waited on the lobby intil he returned. It was now 1:15. I asjed fir a room on the upper level, he said no because if housekeeping. I said ok, then in the back away from the main road traffic. Well, we got settled and heard prople above us fir an hour or so before going to sleep. Again in the morning. Coffee was ok at that lobby. The tv remite stopped working as we were watching football Ice machine worked good. Tub did not drain well while taking showers. We only came to sleep at night because we were at friends all day and evening. Parking good. House keeper friendly.
