We have booked here for two nights. We chose this hotel for…read moretwo reasons. First, location. It's close to a family gathering during our stay so we chose this for logistics. Second, family has stayed here before and gave the hotel raving reviews. I'm not sure why. Generally the family that gave this hotel raving reviews has a certain level of standards which I would assume would have meant more than our experience. The first room we were given was infested with flies. We killed 10 within minutes and after that 6 more just showed up immediately. So we went down and asked for another room. We were given one with a jacuzzi. No, we have no plans on haul v that and there are several reasons why. The first and second rooms are clean. But, it's clear the hotel is in a serious need of updating and refreshing. Now, I understand a few things about this location. First, it's a small town and what I assume to be a privately ran hotel. On our first night there was maybe 10 people here in a hotel that probably has 100 rooms? So my point here is income probably does not generate the funds necessary to save for dramatic improvements of any scale or variety. Being in a small town there is literally only a few options to stay unless you drive to a bigger city like Richmond closer to an interstate, etc. doing a google search I found three choices in town and this appeared to be the best. Rooms are not that awesome. First room had the aforementioned fly infestation, toilet seat was well used and worn down to what appeared to be black wood underneath. (I hope) Second and first room both had outdated and well worn and in some places town carpet. Rubber molding around the walls near floors were torn away in spots and drywall plaster was cracked or busted in spots in and around corners in bath and other places. Parking lot is dimly lit unless you park right by the building where huge wall lamps give a 1970's incandescent yellow hue of light that somehow bounces off the building good enough to illuminate the front of your car. There are light posts that are from what I can tell the size of a battery powered throw away infomercial lantern. In fact. They are positioned about 30 feet from each other on the exterior of the lot and are most certainly solar powered as they were casting no light at 6 am on anything at all. So, if lot safety is a concern of yours and what I have said already is not enough to turn you off then book away. I believe the rate per night was around $140 and that might have been with taxes and fees.. again. If you are one of three hotels in town you get the luxury of slapping a charge on a rate and seeing if anyone bites. They offer continental breakfast. But, in looking at the quality of the offerings you might be wise to choose coffee or a preserved yogurt cup. I was even skeptical of the coffee as the coffee urns on the bun coffee maker looked like the last time they seen soap and water was before dish washers were invented. I'd skip the pastries and dried cereal which looked stale.. I'd even skip the waffle maker and aerosol can of butter and syrup mix as well. Maybe go try and find the McDonald's or a Cracker Barrel even farther away.. Finally, for the smokers or the smoke smoker haters that are reading this post. This hotel most certainly used to be a smoking hotel. How the peeled off signs on the entry doors and on occasional rooms that have not yet been peeled off state its non smoking. But, as my wife has recently stopped smoking and is keen to smells that never bothered her before.. she can still smell the lingering odors in the room which shout out it has seen decades of cigarette smoke. Just bring some Febreeze and that should tame it down. First nights rest? Well, the rooms are quiet overall, I could not hear talking or television noises from guests next to us. I did hear what sounded like a t-Rex walking around in the room uostairs this morning. I assume hunting for prey for breakfast. Bed slept ok for one that has clearly seen a few decades of use. Sheets are alright. But, clearly are the low end. Comforter is well used and low end. But, it appears all was clean. However I elected not to freak myself out and dig deep on this one for usual things that would creep someone out. I should point out that front desk clerk at check in was nice. We booked through a third party website and she had trouble matching up our credit card with reservation. She was a new clerk though. We did not get the usual questions like make and model and plate number and that kind of thing. But, we did not get any arguments as to switching rooms when we brought up the fly infestation either. Almost like they knew.. But, now that you read this you can make your own choice. It certainly may will give us cause to ask family.. Why did you think it was so nice? Maybe it was at a point in the past. But, now it's just "ok" IMO.

Reading some of the old reviews I was a bit worried but I did notice that they have improved things…read morea lot. Fresh paint, clean room & bathroom, new carpets. A/C was working great, turned it on then went for supper, gone less than an hour and it was cool enough in room we had to turn the temp up. Had a good night sleep and was able to enjoy the continental breakfast. Seems like about a dozen cars there but it was a weeknight. I would recommend staying there because it is better than driving 30 minutes to a corporate hotel that will charge more. They have improved a lot considering the area has had some layoffs and cutbacks.

Has anyone done this while trying to shower a young child? Terrible if you have long hair and trying to shampoo. Let's be honest you pay double at Jellystone, pay extra for everything that comes free at other campgrounds like the bouncy pillows, let me adjust the water temp and take a hot shower. The water in shower has lots of iron, potable water my daughter said tasted like blood lol (that's the iron) If you are traveling with kids through the area, you want the pool to be open late, there isn't a lifeguard on duty anyway. Let parents have access to the pool so we can swim with our kids that have been seatbelted for hours. That would make a campground family friendly not Cute characters. Other wise most of the staff was very friendly and facilities clean. Gaga ball was very fun late at night but bring your own kickball or volleyball. Because the office closed at 5 pm and so does most everything else including cornhole. But if you don't mind paying extra for all the fun activities you get free at other campgrounds (we camp a lot, just camped from Ohio to Montana, and Ohio to Wyoming) and have are staying more than one night it's a nice clean place, was definitely the most expensive we camped at in our 3 weeks of camping nightly.

There is a great pond to walk around that offers catch-and-release fishing, great playgrounds, a nice swimming pool, and lots of room for the kids to play. The bathroom and shower are nice and clean! When I made my reservations, I had to do some revising and they were so accommodating. While I asked for a pull-thru, I did take a back-in spot and they had someone spot for me. I would have liked a 50amp and sewer hookup, but again, I needed to make changes. They offer both RV and tent sites. The tent sites are in their own section, a nice green grassy area! If you decide to stay here, I found that a 30amp will run one of my A/Cs just fine and because of all the shady, I really only needed the one A/C. I did need to have my tanks dumped while I was there. They offer a dump service so I didn't need to move my RV nor even be there. It was a nominal fee compared to the savings from a full hook-up site!

All money raised at the event was for saved for military family needs, whether it be a bill paid or a wish granted for vacation. Car and bike show was awesome. They also raffles off many things to raise money. They gave us vendors meal tickets for inside the lodge. Inside was a bar area, bathrooms, and huge meeting room. The food was so delicious! Got the pulled pork for lunch that came with chips. Event was overall hot since we were outside. Plugs on the side of the building made it easier to plug up fans. At the end vendors got to donate to a silent auction. These people went above and beyond for their goal, (unsure how much they raised) I can only imagine coming here on a regular to do things. The beer was pretty good too. If you live in Plainfield I'd definitely stop by and visit this small joint!
