The amenities in the room would have been better than average, if they had worked correctly. The refrigerator was larger than average and included a freezer. The microwave worked, but the timer was broken. The air conditioner was very noisy. It was beyond control of the property that it was on a busy road and noisy roadworks were underway at night. It is pet friendly and we were able to bring our beagle on the trip.

The room stunk. And then when we went to the office they was 3 cops and van there loading a bunch up. I left and stayed in a different hotel bc I wasn’t feeling safe enough to stay there with my son. Also when you lift the mattress big pee stain. So no way I was staying there or ever telling someone to stay there.

Pleasant stay.

I was very pleased. Daman was friendly and helpful at front desk. Breakfast was simple but adequate. Location (Civic Center for Conference) was ideal. Room was clean and comfortable. I will definitely stay there again when in Roanoke.

Very good for the price. Very accommodating and they let me have my dog with me for an extra fee of $20. I would recommend for the thrifty person that needs a nice place to stay.

The room was fine, but there was night construction on the street in front. I checked in at night alone and the guests were loud and attempting to talk to me. The noise could be heard all night within the room. I was warned by a rideshare driver that this was a sketchy part of town and to be careful of people in this area. You definitely get what you pay for.

I paid for a smoking room and paid extra for it to find out on check-in that one was not available. I was still charged the smoking room rate. The TV would not work at all.The room was decent and appeared clean, but your bare feet were very dirty after walking on the floor. Staff was pleasant.

The staff was super friendly and gave great suggestions for local restaurants. This is the closest hotel to the Berlin’s Center and is walkable. The room was adequate and clean. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is because after dark there were groups of men hanging around outside the hotel. As a single female traveler, that is a little unsettling.

We were traveling and had a late night 2am check in. Motel was cheap so wasn’t expecting much and only needed a place to get a few hours sleep. The check in staff was very kind. But unfortunately our bathroom had two cockroaches in it upon arrival and felt unclean to the point where we couldn’t shower. It was late with kids so we sucked it up but woke up to someone creepily honking and driving around motel at 4am. I began to feel uncomfortable. Drifted back to sleep and reawakened to someone arguing outside our window about their dog. We left asap!
