First time staying here and it was nice! We stayed in Room 104, and it was very clean and comfy. Check-in was easy, and the clerk was friendly. The beds were good, everything in the room worked as it should, and it was quiet overnight. The dog fee was only $20, which was reasonable! We'll definitely stay here again!
Little hard to find but well worth the price. Reminded me of one of those roadside motels from the 70’s with nice clean updated rooms. Great WiFi. New floors and furniture.
Honestly, I was hesitant to try a little motel like this. I hoped the good reviews were accurate. This was a terrific place to stay. We were on our way home from a family trip and needed a good, clean room. By far the best room and value all week. Service at the front desk was pleasant. The room was very comfortable and clean. The price was half what we would have paid at bigger chain hotels where broken items and dirty facilities seem to have become the norm. Our bed was extremely comfortable, and the bathroom was beautiful. I will definitely stay here again when passing through. Easy access on and off the highway.
Stayed here for a few days while visiting my sister. Room was clean and comfortable — the bed was comfier than some high-end hotels I’ve been in! Right off I-77. Desk staff was friendly and helpful. And you can’t beat the rates here — well below chain hotels.
Best place I have stayed in a very long time. Clean. Very friendly staff. Prices reasonable. Close to restaurants. Comfortable beds. Plenty of electrical sockets
For the price this motel was very clean. Newly renovated and th bedding was clean. I'm usually very picky about hotels and this one passed with flying colors. I could find nothing wrong other than I wish they had more shampoo/conditioner. Front desk was very friendly and efficient. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
I just spent two nights at the turnpike hotel Princeton, West Virginia. My room was very clean and cozy. The staff was very friendly. I highly recommend.
Room was on the smaller size, but for the price it was a great clean room. Had a full size bed, desk, chair, mini fridge, microwave and coffee pot in room, full bathroom. Staff was very friendly. I have no complaints. Sign said newly remodeled so some of the reviews would now be incorrect.
