It is an old style hotel without indoor hallway. When outside is cold. It is hard to open door. In addition, there is no effective way to get fresh air to keep good indoor air quality.

The room was only superficially clean. There were chips behind the nightstand and a pill bisible just under the dresser. The worst problem was the bugs. One type mostly in the barhroom; another large bug crawled across by laptop screen. I think it might have been a termite.

Convenient.
Whenever my husband and I are passing through Staunton on a longer trip, we always stay here. The property is a bit run down, but our room has always been clean. The king bed was very comfortable and it's very quiet at night. Everything is walkable from this location and there's tons of parking available for free. Staff was somewhat friendly, and I was disappointed that they didn't honor my room request for a top floor room. The room they gave us was fine, but we always enjoy staying on the top floor. Other than that, we'll continue to stay here for a one night stay.

This hotel is really overpriced. It had bed bugs, the bed was very dirty and had blood on the mattress. The sheets weren’t changed and the room wasn’t cleaned, there was rubbish everywhere. It was really messy and noisy. I cancelled my trip and still had to pay for two nights even though i didn’t stay that long. Disgusting dirty hotel. I do not recommend at all.

Key pad on door was dead and Room had not been cleaned prior to arrival (I made a reservation a week in advance) The room was infested with dead cockroaches and living spiders. Not to mention a Maintenance man barged into our room without knocking, as my daughter was getting into the jacuzzi tub. Instead of being reimbursed for my stay, I was only offered a $50 refund off a $215 room!! The owner was very kind however she didn’t seem to understand that this is unacceptable on so many levels. I wouldn’t stay here again even if it was just to sell drugs!
