The owner was very nice and helpful, giving us extra pillows and lighting the gas fireplace. Convenient location to Luray caverns and Shenandoah National Park. Quiet inn.

B, United States of America

The location was perfect! It was very close and convenient to Shenandoah National Park, Luray Caverns and to shopping areas and restaurants. This is a very basic, no frills hotel, but it was clean and quiet.

The bed was very comfortable and the room had a lot of space. The shower was clean and the water pressure was great. We liked having a refrigerator and microwave, as we brought food back for supper each night. The manager was very friendly and helpful. For the price, we would stay here again.

“We liked it, however if you’re expecting modern luxury suites you’ll be disappointed.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Queen Suite with Fireplace
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
First of all I should say that I guessed this place was a bit out of date when I booked the queen suite with fireplace. However, there were things that just didn’t make sense in the layout of the suite, including a spiral staircase that went up to a locked door, and a bathroom that you couldn’t enter/exit unless the door between living area and the hallway was closed. Initially we thought it was just annoying and silly but later thought it didn’t seem very safe in case you needed to evacuate- you could be blocked in the bathroom. We speculated that the owners lived upstairs as we could always smell delicious food being cooked. I mention it because it may bother some folks. Personally it just made us hungry. Lol. There is no tv in the bedroom and only 2 pillows on bed. (Owner was nice and generously gave us 4 more on request.) The furniture in sitting area is very old and uncomfortable. The sofa was a pullout bed which was more comfy than sitting on the sofa but for most would be considered a flimsy option. Unfortunately this was the only place from which you could enjoy the fireplace and watch tv. We’re not fancy people so we called it an adventure and camped in the sitting area. There was a mid-sized refrigerator (with small freezer) that worked well and a vintage microwave that required counting “1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, etc” for nuking anything under a minute, and a nice dining area. Last but not least, there was a spa bath tub which had its own room. While it took a long time to fill and finesse the right temperature, it was very relaxing! Just don’t expect bubbles. Owner openly admitted the button for it didn’t work well and offered to turn it on for us if needed...but when I’m about to step into a bath that isn’t quite the time I want to be calling motel staff! Ha ha ha!! Luckily I hate jets anyway. Overall we enjoyed our stay even with the quirks, but I didn’t think it was worth the money we splurged for what we intended as a romantic getaway.
The owner was very nice and helpful, giving us extra pillows and lighting the gas fireplace. Convenient location to Luray caverns and Shenandoah National Park. Quiet inn.

“Will not recommend to any one.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double Room with Two Double Beds
- • Stayed 1 night
The manager called to inform us at the last minute before check in that Wi-Fi, Tv and Phones were not working. He ensured that he did it at the last minute so that we are left with no choice but to keep the reservation. The bathroom had no heating and was ice cold. The property does not have coffee or any vending machines anywhere. The rooms were shabby keeping in mind that we paid 100 bucks for a night.
Location was close to Luray caverns.

“This is a very bare basic motel, in a wonderful location!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double Room with Two Double Beds
- • Stayed 6 nights
When we booked the motel we had the impression that there would be a coffee maker in the room; there was not. We asked in the office and the gentleman did provide us with a little coffee pot, a jar of instant coffee and a couple of mugs. We went to the store and purchased some sugar and milk. There is a small fridge in the room so this worked out just fine.
