Relatively unfriendly front desk clerk (one of the two) who confronted and challenged me as to why I happen to reserve a handicapped room and I was abruptly asked who booked this room to my surprise. I happen to have had no idea that the room booked was this type and was an online booking.
This was a premium priced MOTEL at total of near $100 for the night even with online discount due to the relatively rural location with limited competition.
Issues:
Dead cricket on the bathroom floor
T V did not work horizontal hold gone and would not turn off w remote had to unplug it
Coffee pot was still had coffee in it from the prior occupants
Microwave did not work and literally smelled of smoke when turned on
Other portions of the room two star at best worn wallpaper grout up on the bathroom etc etc.....
When mentioned all of these things to the manager at checkout (too late and tired to move rooms after a 10 hour drive) he offered no apology, no regrets and stated that he would simply mention these complaints to maintenance staff....
a lesson to be learned in customer service and satisfaction for sure.
Would never consider this particular Days Inn as I was a Days "In-Mate" for the night" if all of you know what I mean.
Good Travels

i went there during my trip to virginia safari park and natural bridge. its was very comfortable nice place with a pool and easily accesible to nearby attractions. i would surely recommend for a comfortable and affordable stay.. and it also has free ice machine

Arrived on a busy Friday night. No vacancy, so glad I had booked ahead. Room was basic, as expected. Quiet, except for door slammed at next room. But in the a.m. there was no hot water, about 7:30.

There were nice touches - the management did what I could with what it had. But when the toilet is not firmly attached to the floor and flops around as one rises, there is a way to go. Light bulbs were of the dim variety, and lighting around the mirror was inadequate.

When I checked out, I asked about the water. I was told it was out for the whole building, with a shrug. Was that the case? or were there so many guests that it ran out?

We enjoy staying in this quiet little motel. It is close to our son at VMI but not in the middle of all the tourism of the town.Quiet, clean, not fancy and with a wonderful manager and staff.
