We were forced to stay here because of no other rooms available, about 3 years ago when it was under a different name. We recognized it as soon as we saw it but had had good experiences with remodeled Choice Hotels in Fredricksburg Va, Brunswick Ga and Santee SC and thought it would be OK. It was a pigpen then...

It's an older motel with outside entrance which has recently undergone an update. Though the owners are still in the process of updating the entire motel, many of the rooms were already finished. We found the staff to be very pleasant and very willing to accommodate our needs. We leased 2 rooms both of which were very clean and comfortable.No... More

The facility is older and it shows. Linens are thin and wrinkly. But the room was reasonably clean, the bed was comfortable, the wifi signal was strong. I did not turn on the TV. The location is very convenient. Breakfast was typical of low budget: cold cereal and sweet buns; the coffee was good and served with creamers (!) not... More

I stayed there when i was traveling home from Virginia Beach. the bathroom had mold in the shower, a loud ac, and filthy bedspreads. The tv barely worked too. They had nothing to offer for breakfast and the staff barely knew how to speak english. Would not reccomend to anyone.

If you want to save money, this is a good place. It is a mile or less further from the Carlise Fairgrounds than the fancier hotels and will probably save you $100. over two nights. Don't expect luxury in this older building. The building is maintained and most importantly, clean. The refrigerator and microwave helped me save money on meals.... More
