"Sketchy neighborhood. Lots of weed smokers outside main lobby doors. There were easily 8-10 people outside. If by you got stuck between the two sets of doors it created one hell of a hot box. Desk help at night seemed indifferent or non existent at times. If I was not traveling with my adult son I would have a bit apprehensive and scared entering the lobby at 10:pm on a Saturday night while walking dodging the stoned women in their pajamas and the drunk and stoned men just outside the doors. The lobby chairs were full-about 8-10 more people. I Kept looking and asking for check in person. Finally grumpy cat appeared from the back, grunted and we got out key as we had prepaid and pre registered. I made an offhand comment ,”Oh, smells like chlorine,” and grumpy cat snipped back acerbically,“Pool’s closed !”
“Well naturally one would assume the pool would be closed at this time of night especially when all of these guests are not in any condition to swim and can barely walk to their rooms. I can imagine that it can quite become a huge hotel liability and one you as the manager on duty would not want to undertake.” I said.
One shining light -we hadn’t realized that the breakfast closed at 9:30 on a Sunday morning. We went at 9:45 am. The staff graciously accommodated us with fresh fruit, danish, bagel and coffee. Went out of their way and kept apologizing. They were amazing. They did nothing wrong but still kept apologizing. But who closes breakfast on a Sunday at 9:30?"
The Inn at Leonardtown, an Ascend Collection Hotel
8/10 Good
"Welcoming staff, excellently situated in Downtown Leonardtown, decent offering of complimentary breakfast, including pre-made filled croissants. Only issue was my initial room suffered from external noise issues, suspected to be from the hotels air conditioning system (not the room), however the staff were more than happy to move me to another room which was much quieter."
Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Tappahannock by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"Room was big and comfortable. The bed was amazing for a great night sleep. The staff were friendly and courteous. Cleaning was good but housekeeping should clean and map the bathroom daily no matter how many days the guess is staying and make sure that towels and toilet paper is provided daily as well. Overall it was a nice place and I'm planning to go back."
"Amazing little oasis! Unique home, with cool decor. Missun and Dave are so kinda and welcoming which made us feel so comfortable. You can tell they are loved because all the guests there are now regulars that keep coming back."
