Very budget motel for not so budget price. However, the staff was friendly and accommodating, it was clean, beds comfortable. I slept well so can’t complain. Cute town and good location I was able to walk to several nice restaurants. I would stay again I just think it’s a bit overpriced.

A real treat in Shenandoah Valley

This hotel stay was one of the best. The place itself is very well upkept and clean. The honeymoon suite had its own screened in porch with a nice field view. We loved this place and hope to go back again soon.

If you need relatively inexpensive pet friendly motel convenient to Luray this is it. We brought our 80lb golden retriever. Big open grassy area right in front of the motel perfect to walk your dog. Staff was friendly. Room was clean. Beds were fine.
