Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ashland by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Yes very clean and nice breakfast "

Days Inn by Wyndham Grayson

8/10 Good

"The property must have been flooded as the first room I was shown you could smell mildew as soon as door opened! I said no, she took me to another room at the end of hallway opposite side and it smelled alright so I took it! You could see the water stain 1 -1 and 1/2 ft on door! The staff was very friendly! I had no outlet on night stand and the one on lamp did not work! No outlet reachable for my c-pap machine so the attendent came down and pulled spare bed out some and unplugged the lamp so I could use that outlet! Appreciated that very much! I slept fine and I only had orange juice & coffee with my yogurt and protein bars I brought with me! I did take 2 slices of wheat bread to use for chicken salad ( I had made also) sandwich ! The hotel was very convenient right off of interstate! Enjoyed my visit and left well rested! Thank you"

Greenbo Lake State Resort Park

10/10 Excellent

"Arrived later than expected 1am. Staff on duty was very pleasant. Breakfast was fresh both morning. Rooms were clean and ready. They don't offer maids service unless requested. Love they have tried to stay as rustic as possible and value the history of the area. 10/10 will stay here again."

Holiday Inn Portsmouth Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel stuff was very nice and helpful. The only problem with our stay was that the elevator was broken and our hotel room was at the 4th floor. The hotel staff helped out caring our luggage up there. It was very difficult for my elderly parents to go all the way up there."

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Ironton

10/10 Excellent

"We came into town for a wedding and had wonderful service and immaculate rooms. Free parking and plenty of spaces. It’s a small town with a lot of conveniences nearby if you’re staying more than a day or so. This will be our “ go to hotel” for any future trips in the area."
