It was nice but pricey.

I know where this is at, I've driven through that area a few times. That stretch of I-64 from Beckley to Lexington is one of the more barren stretches of highway in terms of amenities/rest stops I've been on. So I get why they'd charge that much, but still not worth the price. But there are some great scenic views in that area!

Here’s something cool I live next to the railroad except it’s called the Portsmouth Sub division

Excellent tour!!! I love how you made this tour like your old ones where you gave a thorough look around the hotel's amenities before just going straight to the room like in a lot of your newer ones. IMO this the way to do a hotel tour and I got a lot of nostalgia watching this as I used to watch your old ones a lot as a kid. I also love how you made this a proper review in addition to showing around the hotel! IMO this seems like a pretty solid hotel, and I wouldn't mind staying here, but $150 is WAY too much for a place like this! This would be a great place to stay for $50-75 a night.

Agree my favorite type of hotel tour too.

definitely looks interesting but for hotel that is built in 2008-2009 i can't complain, but the diner next to the Travelodge looks so retro despite it being built in 2008-2009.

It was over priced

I just realized I've never stayed a Travelodge. Decent place, but yeah, not for $150 which seemed really pricey for a place with few amenities, even appearing to have done away with its pool (pity; pools nice can be nice to relax in after a long trip). Seems more like maybe $90 for a clean but no frills and amenity scant location. The question, does the railroad pay for is workers to stay at these hotels or is it up for the workers to pay?

Nice hotel 👍

it was okay.

Given the price you paid here, I think you were ripped off. After looking at average pricing here it is in the lower 100s, though for that price, they should at least provide a spotless room, a bed with a blanket or down comforter in the bed rather than the closet, and generally newer decor is preferred too. That room I think is more worth $50-$75, but not near the 100s. I will say the layout here is pretty weird, but I would not stay here given I am sure for the same price you could get something a bit better in the area.

Hotels rates will fluctuate several times in a single day. Once one hotel in town goes up in price the rest pretty much follow suit for the day.
