Read several reviews before I booked and there was about the same for bad and good. Wanted to try a new place outside of va beach because I’m just here for work. Front looked decent ish. Got to the window to check in and the lady was very nice. Pulled around back and it was another world. Got into my room And just plain terrible. The mold and paint peeling, nasty sticky carpet, 80’s bedding, gross bathroom. I was tired and figured I’d lay on the bed clothed not even taking off my shoes and at least get some sleep. Didn’t feel like taking a shower at that point was a good idea. Fell asleep to be woken up at 12am to no power. Called it then, got my stuff and tried to sleep in my truck the rest of the night. Absolutely no go, I would not bring my family to a place like this none the less let my dog be in this place. Definitely do not stay here, I don’t know how places like this don’t get shut down.

I never have left a review before, but this place was the worst place ive ever been at. I was afraid to touch everything. Mold, broken pieces, Spider webs, odor. Hair still in tub and shower. No fan in bathroom, AC barely cooled room. Musty, dusty, disgusting. No amenities other than a refrigerator and microwave which fuctioned moderately.
