The best thing I loved about the property was the customer service. The nice lady at the check-in desk (I can't remember her name) but she was SUPER helpful and friendly. The amenities were WONDERFUL. The only thing I didn't like were the pillows, but that's my own fault for not bringing my own! I WILL be back. And everyone was friendly, especially to an old man like me. SIX STARS OUT OF FIVE!

I arrived for a booked 4-night stay. The “resort” was not as advertised on hotels.com. I have been a loyal customer of “hotels.com” and this was not a “fabulous” accommodation. It was an old two-story wooden building with exterior doors and wooden stairs to get to the second floor. It was a gravel parking lot. I spoke with the hotel clerk and RVA manager who said “no refund at all”. I tried speaking with “hotels.com” 3 times who were negotiating with the property. I did not stay at this property and left the area within 20 minutes. Do not book this property.

Communication very poor, I left my Drivers license at the front desk at check in, they had it for 2 days without contacting me. Then we asked to extend our stay, said they would check and call back. Never heard from them! Other then that, we loved our stay, great location, the resort was clean and friendly, and a good value.
