People where fine had no issue with them. Room was ok might need a little more sweeping in the rooms there where dead bugs near the desk where the TV was at. And it looks like the bottom of the door may be wrapped you coild see daylight on the bottom when the door was completely closed. And othet the Uber Eats have a issue finding the place and cost 30 per delivery for food over all the Hotel was desent. Maybe add a trash can at the corner of the building so people can throw the dog shit bags away.

Great location right off the highway at the top of this enormous hill. I don't know if we would have made it up if the weather had been worse! No restaurants nearby, but they do offer a complimentary continental breakfast. Rooms are small but with newly appointed quality furniture, nice microwave and fridge, excellent room heating. Clean linens. Warm blanket. Very clean. Well lit parking. Plenty of hot water and the hot water tap is instantly hot. The towels are generously sized and all the linens are new. New mattress, and bed bug-dust mite resistant cover around the mattress.

Staff were nice, room was okay. It was clean just dark and humid. A slight smoking odor, but it wasn’t unbearable and was clearly old. It was a small room, but it worked for a hotel. Only complaint was the hot water only lasted 2-5 minutes.

Small, nice hotel with excellent service. The gentleman at the front desk was so kind and accommodating. He helped me with my luggage and parking. This small gesture was appreciated, considering it was late at night and I am recovering from a total knee replacement. Staff went over and beyond. Ty so much.

This hotel is set in a beautiful location on the side of a mountain with a view. Rooms are very clean and very accommodating for guests. Plenty of lightning in the room and little usb chargers for your phones which I appreciate because I always forget my phone charger.

This has became my go to spot when working in the Johnson City colonial Heights Piney Flats area. I was very surprised. The first time I stayed here. Rooms are well maintained given the price range you’re paying to stay here seems to have been recently updated. And they offer a three bed room. Which makes it nice when sharing room with coworkers definitely an option. I have not seen anywhere else.
