Very old but I like that. Real wood paneling. A small couch in the room. Chairs and table outside the door. Screen door so you can leave door open without flies. It was raining so the room was really cozy.

It is a work in progress, but Marie is a wonderful hostess and it is obvious that they are doing a good job of fixing it up.

A Place to Lay Your Head

A little worse for wear. Still, a nice old-school motel for people on a budget, looking for a place to lay their heads for the night. I would return.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Very bad experience. The room was filthy (band aid on the bathroom floor, bad smell in the room, one of the bed missing bedsheets and showing dirty stains). We were given another room but this time the toilet flush was not working (heard water flowing all night) and the cleanliness was still suspicious.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff/owner were wonderful. The property seems under renovation and/or newly purchased with some repairs still needing to be made. Rates reflect, in my opinion, a good price even so. Beds were very comfortable and I had a good night's sleep. The owner was willing to be present to me at midnight on a late arrival with very little notice. Several restaurants within a mile. Charming area.

Employees are very friendly and responsive and there is a good, cheap diner across the street. The price is right. Just understand that this is a cheap motel with the connotations that may summon. They had to move me to another room after someone next door to me began yelling and thumping--maybe in withdrawal? All residents must be in by 11pm. Works for biking the C&O.

Old old old! And dirty

The room was okay but dirty, the bed sheets had blood stains on them and the bathroom was disgusting, nothing the cleaning service could do, the entire place needs overhauled, there were hardly any rooms taken and they put us next to someone who I suppose lives there and they weee up all night talking and laughing. So much for some peace and quiet. The girl at the front desk was very nice and personable but I would never stay here again or recommend this hotel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
For what I paid ($65), this was a fine option. This is an old property with brand new owners who seem to be at the very beginning of updating it. On the plus side the staff was very friendly and the walls were freshly painted. The bed was clean and comfortable. There's wildlife all around, a restaurant across the street, and you can walk into town. That said, there are still a lot of things that need to be renovated, so be ready for that.
