Homecoming weekend, very busy and staff handled everything beautifully-all shifts were great from check in to check out. Complimentary water, coffee and tea replenished often. Great weekend.

Clean, basic accomodations, with all facilities working to specifications. The breakfast was appropriate.I appreciated the rather bare bones ambience because there were no awful curtains or carpets that tried to tart up the place . I would have appreciated an in-room coffee pot, even though there were urns available in the lobby.

Great location right off of 81 and very close to JMU. The room was updated and very clean. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. There weren't a lot of options at the breakfast but it was enough for our quick stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Extremely clean and quiet. Friendly staff. Back patio with firepit was perfect for relaxing. Conveniently located. Only downfall was the breakfast. Could have had a little more variety and replenished more. Other then that. Perfect!

I was worried about breakfast - hard boiled eggs and cream cheese were not kept cold. But other than that, great experience. Very clean and well run.

Perfect spot to stay overnight as we traveled to South Carolina from Pennsylvania. The hotel is practically brand new and a perfect location to the city of Harrisonburg and accessible immediately to the highway. Great little breakfast to get you started in the morning. Great value great property, well worth it.

We stopped here on a 2 day road trip to visit family, so it was for one night. We also had our dog with us ($75 pet fee, but we knew it was going to be extra before we left). Staff was helpful when we arrived, and when we left. Room was spotless and comfortable. A/C unit was a bit loud when it kicked on (probably can’t change that since it’s a manufacturer issue?), but otherwise everything went really well. Beds were comfortable and clean, and the stay went as expected. Breakfast offerings were spartan, though for the price it made sense. Overall, I’d say the whole experience was 9/10. If you’re passing through and need a reasonably priced and comfortable place to stay, I’d say it’s well worth it.

This place is completely renovated, however they don’t have a laundry room. I’ve been to several other locations that are more run down. They at least have 1 washer and 1 dryer. Other than that this place is awesome. The morning staff is a hit or miss she was busier on her phone than welcoming guests. I said Good morning and she just stared at her phone.
