Don't go by what others say! I didn't see any hugs of any sort. It was quiet, relaxing and other than not having a coffee maker on the room. everything I encountered was decent, from staff to cleanliness to parking(unfortunately couldn't park my truck near my room.(semi), but I could keep an eye on it. It would be nice to have stores close by other than gas stations but what do you expect being in the country. I'd most definitely rent a room again if I ever come that way.

For it to be a 3 star motel. Its fairly clean. Smelled like smoke even tho i asked for non smoking...but all and all my experience with them were well. You get what you pay for. Oh And NO BUGS!!....well atleast our room didnt have any. First thing i looked for when i walked in. All other rooms from reidsville to Martinsville. Danville and Greensboro were all booked because of power outages budget inn was the only place we found that has rooms available.

I have stayed at this motel several times over several years when in the area. Always Very clean room, decent price, always quite clean, never had a single reason to complain. No, the front desk clerks were never lovey-doveyl but I never expected them to treat me like their long lost relative They always said thank you, come back, and such but I never expected them to get overly excited about my being there
