Best Western Emporia

Stayed one night on the way from Florida to Kingston. While realizing this is a "budget" hotel, still expect the rooms to be clean. The shower stall had black marks - possibly mold, and the overall room condition was old and tired. less

For the traveler going from Florida to Northeast U.S. on I-95, a good overnight stay is the Best Western in Emporia, VA. It’s clean and accessible with good service. A free breakfast—eggs, cereal, fruit, waffles, toast, yogurt—is included in room fee. less

Selected this property because of reasonable price and pet policy. Big mistake. Although the staff was friendly and the breakfast decent, the site needs a substantial cleaning and refurbishing. Our room was quite dirty. All around the edge of the room dust was caked on the carpet. The carpet felt grimy to the touch. The bathroom floor was sticky with little spots like urine splashes and there was mold on the bathroom ceiling. The towels were dingy and worn and the bed linens were uncomfortable as was the bed. The closet door was broken so the closet could not be used. The parking lot was full of mud so it was impossible to not track it into the room or car. It’s too bad because the room could be nice. It’s large and nicely designed. Hopefully management will realize the shortcomings and deep clean the place soon. less

This hotel succeeds at the basic level - the bed was comfortable, it was easy to set the a/c unit, no excessive noise from the nearby highway. On the downside, the lighting is very dim - perhaps that was necessary in the incandescent lighting days but now with low energy choices it's annoying. less

We stayed at the Best Western Emporia last night to break up our drive from Maine to Myrtle Beach. The hotel is right off I95 and there are restaurants and gas stations right there. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. A hot breakfast was included. Scrambled eggs, sausage, make-your-own waffles, assorted cereals, bread, and juices. The 11 AM checkout was a plus. less
