The property is beautiful and the hotel itself is very pretty. The rooms are nice and clean. The floors are laminate and although nice, some kind of carpeting would give the sleeping quarters and more pleasing walk. The staff acknowledged our presence and were quick to take care of us but a bit more pleasantry would be nice. The breakfast was very good. All in all, for the experience, I feel the price was far too much, given the quality of the room. Will probably choose another hotel for my next stay.

Nice clean hotel

Lovely hotel, clean, good breakfast. Small pool. Hotel staff check-in and out, Jackie, not friendly at all...short with questions and seemed irritated. Though she was unfriendly and short, we only had her once this 2 night stay (this stay) ... but we've stayed 3 times here and we will be back. Close to downtown and flea market, but need to drive to both. If you want to take a walk, it's near a nice neighborhood.

I enjoyed my stay very much. Every employee was helpful and friendly. If I had one complaint it is the variety at the breakfast bar. I prefer more choices of fruit, like bananas. Also, more than eggs and sausage. Bacon would have been nice and some type of potato. Breakfast was my only disappointment.

Shiela, North Dinwiddie

The staff were nice enough compared to other places. The room was OK. The halls and other rooms were nice enough. It was disappointed that there was no laundry area to use even though it’s advertised the washer was not even hooked up and did not work was told the dryer would work, but there wasn’t be no point if you can’t wash your clothes, we had to go to the laundromat to do that. We stayed almost 7 nights. Inside the room it states on the fourth day rooms were due to be cleaned however, nobody attempted to clean our room. We had to ask for towels and trash to be taken. The breakfast was not very good. It was the same thing every day..
