Pluses & Minuses
-
+Position at the junction of Routes 19 and 460 makes the motel a natural base for the whole of Tazewell County. Richlands, Tazewell town, Grundy and Lebanon are all within a reasonable drive, and the road network leads quickly toward Bluefield, Abingdon and Kentucky.
-
+Reception works around the clock, which matters for truck drivers, contractors, visiting nurses and road trippers who arrive late after long mountain drives. There is no worry about finding a closed office at midnight.
-
+Recent guests describe the staff as extremely good and helpful, and several mention a pleasant stay despite small problems. In a family run roadside motel, attitude at the desk shapes the whole experience.
-
+Pets are welcome and children stay free, useful for families on road trips and for people travelling with dogs, both common in this part of Appalachia.
-
+Parking directly in front of the rooms is free and spacious, convenient for pickup trucks, work vehicles and trailers carrying ATVs for the nearby Spearhead Trails.
-
-Maintenance appears uneven. One recent guest reported hot water failing for a night, and older reviews from years ago were harsh about cleanliness. The property has since been updated, but checking the room on arrival remains wise.
-
-The highway intersection means traffic noise, including trucks at night. Rooms at the back of the building are quieter.
-
-There is no real breakfast offer or hotel restaurant of note, so meals depend on the fast food outlets and diners around Claypool Hill.
