The best place to stay for us when we are in town Emporia, va. The on and off I-95 is excellent north or south bounded.
The Truck stop is across the street within 2 minutes walking distance with a Huddle House and pizza restaurant. I stay here very often when traveling south. The hotel is within 10 minutes of Cracker Barrel one exit up or 301 north when the instate is backed up along with several often dinning establishments.

Good room for an affordable price. Excellent customer service that listened to and corrected my issues in a timely and efficient manner. Specifically they helped correct a mis-booked travel date. Stayed 2 nights and will stay again next time i need a room in that area.

This was our second stop here . The rooms and the hotel are old and dated but it is clean . The location feels very safe and is convenient to 95 . There is a Huddle House across the street . It’s older but still ok for a cheap overnight stay traveling on 95 . Pet friendly!

Check in was quick and easy. The room was clean, no odor, and appeared to have been updated recently although it is definitely an older style motel. The room suited my needs for an overnight stay perfectly though. Everything in the bathroom worked and was clean. The bed was comfortable. The only issue I had, albeit a minor one is the temp regulation was inconsistent from the SC/heater unit. It worked fine but I could get a consistent temp so I'd wake up either too hot or too cold at times. To be fair, the weather was a bit uncooperative also, and that, I am sure, contributed.
Overall, if all you need is a quick overnight stay this is a great place. Easy in, easy out convenience store across the street, and a clean comfortable room. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was for such a low cost. Can't ask for much more than that.

This is nice place to drop in on your way to your final destination. I like the staff and small business feel to the place. The rooms solid and your parking spaces are assigned right in front of your room one car per guest. There is additional parking off to the side within view of all rooms. There is large vehicle parking along the front and in back if your towing car trailer. very clean place and when I have my dog he is welcome. My girl and I often meet half way between her job and mine to spend the weekend together. Which is comfortable place close to serval places restaurants with 10 minutes or less with traffic from the I-95.

For a low budget off the highway hotel this was clean, and a great location. However, the electrical system made a buzzing sound every few minutes all night long making sleep impossible. A hole in the bathtub was patched over with a plastic mat. Plenty of deferred maintenance. Also, no fresh coffee was available anywhere.

Do not stay here! Room smelled like an ashtray. When I turned the light on, the roaches scattered all over the place. It was so disgusting.

I did like the quiet. I was very disappointed there was no pool like in picture. Pool doesn't exist & i only booked because i wanted a pool. Also extremely disappointed in expedia since app gave me issues after booking, & of course no refund with no pool.

This property takes the concept of low-budget to a whole new level, and my standards aren't very high. It looked nice from the outside, but inside was pretty grungy...not dirty, just grungy. There was such an unpleasant odor in the room when I entered, (which I think was bleach) I actually thought of leaving. Also, it was skimpy with toiletries. Positives include not only a low price, but the staff was very nice and helpful, the TV and wifi worked, I felt safe, there was a cheap gas station right across the street and it was the easiest on/off the highway I ever encountered. Yes, I would go there again.

It was really not a pleasant stay. We didn’t even stay for an hour and we just checked out coz the place smells and dirty. When i wiped the surfaces, it was brown and the tv remote was black. I wiped them twice and it still has dirt.
