It has been a few years since I was last here but still overall a good experience. There have been…read moresome upgrades to the rooms which are nice and they still have the best exercise room for a small hotel. But I still think that the stay is overpriced. I likely will consider other locations on my next visit to this area. And I have to admit that the staff weren't quite as friendly in years past. But I know that in some places that fluctuates a lot based upon who is on that day. Also, they shortened the breakfast times, presumably because of difficulty in getting staff. For the price that you pay here, I like to get in a work out in the morning and get my breakfast in a more leisurely manner than usual. Closing up breakfast at 0900 seems a little early, especially for folks who are on vacation. There were several people arriving after 0900 this morning who were surprised to learn that the service was closing down. Thankfully the nice lady manning the breakfast bar was very understanding and got a few things for them from the back while she was cleaning up.

I was told there was one room left in the entire hotel and the rate was $270. I was desperate for somewhere to stay so I agreed. But, like, the last room in the whole hotel? In BFE Virginia, really? I doubt it. Our room was fine and was a standard hotel but was no where near worth the price. I've stayed at a suite in the Hyatt in Downtown St. louis for the same price.

The breakfast was cheap and not appetizing; with rock hard biscuits and bagels, fake turkey sausage, etc. I ate a banana. The road noise from the interstate, which was about 100 feet from our window, was so loud and constant that we could not sleep all night. It was really bad, and we got up before the cock would crow and was very tired all day; with six hours of driving to do. All this for about $300 (with stupid high taxes) for one night. Do not recommend; do not go there.

She definitely didn't seem sober on top of the unprofessionalism of talking about her alcoholic drinking habits. She then proceeded to give us the wrong room, and then we had to wait over 2 hours for our other room (okay we understand) just to walk in and the room is still dirty- and there's a USED CONDOM WRAPPER literally right behind the night stand, so they clearly didn't actually clean the room beside replacing the sheets (which were still dirty and very yellow stained. The "housekeeping" crew were ok, but were extremely high and smoking marijuana near the rooms. We also had a no smoking room (as I have a hard time breathing around smokers) just to have the cleaning crew smoke WHILE they are cleaning the rooms, leaving the "clean" rooms lingering with weed and cigarette smell. I would highly stay away from this place. It was not worth the cost AT ALL.

Dirty sheets (had to go to Dollar General and buy towels and sheets), carpet falling off the wall and there was trash already in my trash can when I checked in. And to top it off even after I sprayed disinfectant and bought new sheets, I got the mess bit out of me by bed bugs. I have bite marks and welps all over my arms and legs. Stay far away unless you want some critters sleeping next to you. My sister was in the room two doors down from me and her daughter had bite marks too. Not sure how the bugs decide who to bite but they f'd us two up. I'm still itching. A little background about me. I'm kind of a hotel snob. I like modern, well-appointed rooms with beautiful lobbies and hotel amenities. None of the above here. In all fairness in Covington you don't have too many choices unless you can swing the cost at the Omni Homestead in Hot Springs for $300 a night plus parking and resort fees. Needless to say I couldn't so I was forced to stay between here and the Magnasun. Wrong choice but not even sure if there was a right one. If you are a hotel snob and appreciate a nice home away from home please drive a little further out and stay somewhere else. You will be happy you did.

Makes a large popping sound so I left it open while I was there. They were working on the roof when I was there. When I first pulled in, there was a scissor lift with yellow tape around part if the bldg. Made me look a little sideways at my 3 day reservation. The room, upon walkin, was smelly. Very humid, very damp or musty. The Air conditioner also smelled moldy and musty. The room was dark, even with all the lights on. I didn't chance getting under the covers in bed. I always bring my sleeping bag and sleep on top of the covers! Always! The shower; a trickle of water. I had to stay in extra long to ensure it washed all my shampoo out. The TV was small and only was Dish TV. Eww. Luckily I have Pluto and Netflix apps on my phone. :) The TV needed to have new menu settings, I couldn't see what channels the shows were on. :/ I wore my slides in the room. I took no chances with dirty feet as showing on other Yelp pictures. I went to breakfast, only this morning on my way out. I was glad they offered a small yogurt and banana. The coffee was excellent, however the scrambled eggs looked like they were refrigerated overnight and heated up today. Also not sure why they would have frozen veggies in the tin right next to the eggs. They were dry and shriveled up. No bad visitors there bothering me. No loud noises keeping me awake. Thanks Tequila, for letting me have uninterrupted sleep! I arrived at 2 stars due to no one bothering me or smoking and clustering around the bldg.

I've stayed in hotels that cost me three times what this one cost and they weren't half as nice. You really should ignore the previous review -- I saw no such tawdry activity on the premises. Just be advised, this hotel is now a Travelodge partner; don't let the name fool you. This has become my go-to spot for a hotel when traveling through the Virginia mountains.

It cost us $78 +$9 tax (AARP) on a Tuesday night. The Manguson Mountain View beside it was $133 + tax and got a poor review, as did the Hampton on the other side. The host was very nice. I am posting a couple of photos to give you a better look as of October 2019. The closet has an iron and ironing board. There is a TV, microwave, and mini-fridge. Table and chair, two full beds.
