I stayed at this hotel for two nights, and my initial impressions were good. The staff is very friendly and made us feel welcome right away. Our room was fine, but it did feel dated for the price we paid, and the first night there was very noisy and not very restful. There was also a frequent smell of marijuana around the property. I know this is legal in VA, but when traveling with young kids, it’s not ideal to encounter this frequently.
On our second day, we noticed cockroaches in the hallway by the elevator. We mentioned these to the hotel management, and they apologized, but since we were in a rush to get to places during our trip and to get home, I didn’t discuss the issue at length with management while we were there. When I asked for compensation after my stay, the hotel denied my request because I didn’t discuss the issue at length with them in person. The IHG Clean Promise that they promote on their website states, “Good isn’t good enough – we’re committed to high levels of cleanliness.” They also promise to “make it right” if this promise isn’t kept. Regardless of when they are discovered, cockroaches are dirty enough to violate this cleanliness promise, and I am disappointed by the hotel’s response to my complaint.

Lamentablemente yo le doy una estrella porque no me queda otra opción si hubiera estado el jefe de antes le doy 30 y estrellas llegaron nuevos Jefe y nueva administración y eso fue un desastre no me sentía cómoda y sentía como que eran racistas. A la vez preferí mejor retirarme porque no entendía nada, siempre era un problema Duré nueve años trabajando con la supervisora le hablaba mal de mí por detrás no le decían la cosa como eran entre los mismos jefes querían como que las supervisores los trabajadores estuvieron peleando. Le doy una estrella y habían estado los jefes de antes. Le doy 50 estrellas. Lamentablemente, pero suerte que dios lo bendiga. 👉✌️🙏
