Bad

Liked: Location
Disliked: Never got my deposit back. Nothing online said anything about $100 deposit yet the guy at the desk was sure to get one and not return it. The room was left cleaner than when we checked in, so there was no reason to not get it back. They said it would go back on the card.

Passable

Good

Liked: The bed worked great
Disliked: I had to make a lot of noise to get someone's attention to check in. I waited for five full minutes for someone to pick up the phone at the door. Apparently it's broken, so I made a lot of noise with the key drop lid at the key window until someone came running.

Superb

Bad

Liked: Staff was nice at check in
Disliked: Dirty. Cockroaches and rooms were not clean

Good

Liked: The location was perfect. Very quiet and felt pretty safe as a solo traveler. There were a couple of restaurants and a gas station nearby, and it was only a 10ish minute drive to Kings Dominion.Check in was quick and easy. The staff was friendly and helpful.The beds were extremely comfortable, I had the best sleep in a hotel that I ever had. I had a fridge and microwave, which served me well for eating in. The water pressure in the shower was nice and the bathroom had a full tub, so I was able to soak my feet after a long day at the park.
Disliked: The water temperature was very inconsistent. Sometimes it was nice and hot, but a couple of times it would barely get lukewarm and I'd have to wait an hour or so to shower. The TV was old. I couldn't plug up my gaming system as the HDMI would only transfer the audio, no video. I tried every workaround on the Internet to fix it, but no dice. I think this was my biggest issue at the place.The room phone would go off at 5:30 in the morning and not stop until around 7-8, so I ended up having to unplug it.Lighting was a bit dim and the lamp by the door didn't work at all.There was a little bit of cosmetic damage to the room but nothing big enough to affect my stay. Bed cover had a cigarette burn hole and the bathroom vent looked like it was flex taped to the ceiling.
