Location & Surroundings
The hotel sits about 7.4 miles from Wind Creek State Park and is close to several regional points of interest, including the Wellborn Musclecar Museum roughly 1.9 km away, Pineywood Island, Dare Power Park, Smith Mountain Fire Tower, and Russell Crossroads. Montgomery Regional Airport is the nearest airport, located about 80 km (roughly 50 miles) away.
Best for
This hotel best suits budget-conscious road travelers, families on lake or park getaways, and RV or bus groups thanks to its free large-vehicle parking. Its proximity to Wind Creek State Park, the Wellborn Musclecar Museum, and a wide range of nearby dining also makes it a convenient base for short regional trips rather than a destination in itself.
Travel tips
Since the hotel sits right at the Highway 280/22 intersection, it's easy to reach by car but best suited to travelers with their own vehicle given the distance to Montgomery Regional Airport (about 50 miles away). Plan on driving to attractions like Wind Creek State Park (7.4 miles) and Russell Crossroads, and take advantage of the free RV/bus parking if traveling with a larger vehicle. Grab the included continental breakfast early, as it's a highlight noted by many guests, and check out the walkable dining options like Big B & Bar-B-Que and Who's Diner just steps from the property.
What guests say
Guests repeatedly highlight friendly, helpful staff and a satisfying hot continental breakfast as standout positives. Cleanliness is generally praised, with several reviewers noting tidy rooms and comfortable beds, though at least one guest reported an isolated hygiene lapse involving towels. A few reviews note the property could use some updating, and one guest experienced confusion with an automated checkout notification despite an on-time departure. Overall, the recurring themes are solid value, welcoming service, and dependable basics rather than modern or upscale amenities.
