Budget Motel - Good Value
The motel somewhat tricky to find however beautiful location on the river. Very quiet, room well appointed and clean. Good lighting in bathroom and great shower pressure. Very reasonable rates. Very good pizza restaurant 5 mins walk away.

Very clean, quiet, budget friendly vintage stay
The room was just as described by other reviews we read. Quiet location, right on the Kanawha River. Parking right in front of room, and very clean rooms. Nothing fancy, but a nice overnight and affordable stay.

Hotel by the river. So quiet, so relaxing. Room was very clean and comfortable. A little run down. Could use some professional touch ups. All in all, for the price, it was very nice.

Easy access. Park right up to the door. Clean. Comfortable bed. I made the mistake of booking a smoking room. The owner switched me to a non-smoking room at no extra charge.

It felt safe and quiet. The room was relatively clean. I would not stay here again, however. because the room was moldy and I was not able to breathe well or sleep well because of that.

A nice stopover heading south
We have stayed at this place many times for an over night stay on the way south. It’s clean and comfortable. It’s an older motel that is well-maintained and kept up. They have made many updates over the years. It’s situated along a river and we have spent time watching the river traffic during warm weather, which is enjoyable. We will stay there again.

This is a great deal and quite safe. When booking a budget hotel/motel I'm often wary of the safety and this is not an issue here. It's a great bargain for sure.

If you are looking for a quiet clean place to stay the night this is a perfect place. We were lucky to get a room facing the lovely river. Like other reviews it is a bit dated but the bed is comfy, the water pressure is great, and the room is a nice size. FYI for coffee lovers there is no coffee machine in the room but we got one from nearby when we left.

It was a decent stay, only slept there after the Jelly Roll concert. It was close to the coliseum, room was clean and beds comfortable. Check in was easy and quick
