The place wasn't bad for the price, the guy who collects rent was pleasant to deal with, it was private, and nobody bothered me. I would definitely reccommend staying here good folks and good place.

We have stayed here the past 4 years for a week while in Virginia for a family reunion. I will have to say in the past it wasn't always in the best of shape. However the past 2 years it has improved greatly with this year being the best. The staff has always been friendly and accommodating. They even provided a grill and fire log so we could cook out and roast marshmallows for July 4th. Tiffany and Randy are very friendly and would sit outside and visit with us when they weren't busy in the office. When we are in that area and needing a place to stay I will definitely stay there again.

It's really nice here. rooms for 2, there's 2 twin beds, they are comfy. a nice table with 2 chairs. there's a nice size closet. Lots of room for your stuff. Another chair if u wanna sit. Flat screen tv. There's no bedbugs, I saw the comment an it flipped me out. I checked, talked to other people that's stated an left, an came back. Just stayed here again, Oct 2019.. still a great place. Prices went up alil per night, but it's still the cheapest PM place to stay. 4 nights were $120. Cell service u get 1 bar w at&t, but there's free wifi. There's a Walmart just down the road. A public bus run to this hotel, so u don't have to drive.

This is a workers community. Most of the tenants stay a few weeks or months while doing work at Suncoke. It is a place where everyone lives together peacefully regardless of race or national origin. It is $466 a month for a single person.
