Smoke Scented Room
When I first pulled up, I thought I was at the wrong hotel. It appeared that there were many people standing outside, sitting around the building. The front desk person was very nice. My room reeked of cigarette smoke, almost to the point that I wanted to pack up and leave. Breathing was not that easy having to breath in the smoke scent.

Overall good place. Friendly staff and affordable. Food options in the area are plentiful. My only complaint, and if you can even call it a complaint, I thought the vending machines were a bit expensive, and there were no ice machines available.

NIGHTMARE
Worst ever. No one showed up to front desk for an HOUR regardless of several of us waiting to check in dialing 500 over and over again. I called the hotel 800 number and no answer. HOTELS.COM even tried to track someone down… no luck. Finally a nice man who happened to be staying there knew how to get in touch with the woman and found her for us. and when she did finally show up…. She was having some sort of melt down. After waiting another TWENTY MINUTES While she ranted on an on about the hotel being taken over, police officers being on property, the papers in the lobby being sent from corporate, an incident that she had the night prior, how she walks slow to test the patrons and that I passed her test…. I finally just left. Making me an hour late for my party bc I had to go to a fast food place to change. And honestly I was scared of the way the front desk lady was acting and by myself and so I never checked in. I would like my money back.

Don’t stay here!
Basically my son and I rented a room in a housing project. Gainsville VA is not known for being inner city but the Woodspring was effectively a housing project. Especially the parking lot at night. Since there was no staff there at night I’d suggest private security when front desk is closed at night.
Woodspring is an “efficiency studio” model. Stove, microwave….but absolutely no dishes of any kind in the kitchenette and no coffee pot….and no coffee downstairs in lobby either. My guess is that the longer term residents of this “housing project” stole everything from the cabinets in the kitchenette.
It’s definitely cheap for the area, but I’d recommend being armed if a traveler wishes to stay there. I’ve traveled the world and stayed in crappy places…this was about the crappiest. But! The shower was hot, the bed was soft, and the pillows were good….

Booked room for concert we came to attend. When we arrived back at the room after the concert and turned on the lights roaches were running rampant. This was at 11pm. We decided to leave and drive the 3 1/2 hours back home. Front desk was closed so we could not talk to anyone about the bug issue. When I called the front desk the next morning and discussed what had happened the person who answered said he was sorry and was issuing me a $50 refund on a $136 room. Very disappointed and will never return. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone

A Stench of a Review
First impression from the outside, OK. Inside, had to wait 15 minutes to check in, and there was no non-smoking available. When I entered the hallway to elevator, the stench from smoking was overwhelming, and after stepping off the elevator to 4th floor it was worse. The smell followed me into the room. Had I not been late for an appointment I would have checked out. The only salvation was turning on the heater on return, which freshened the air. But the smelly smoke smell permeated the room, including the bed linen. Unfortunately, could not open the window. Relief only came with leaving in the morning. But the smell remained in my clothes.

It's not great, but not horrible either
Bright windows, no curtains, get room on backside for less sun.
1st week here - carpeted room smelled bad, found condom wrapper beside bed.
3rd week here - changed room to vynal flooring - much better!
General manager doesn't know what he is doing. Ask for Tiffany, she really runs the place.
1st week- ck in w/Tiffany all good.
2nd week - extended booking thru Hotels.com, all done. Called Tiffany, anything I need to do? Nope, all good. Next day, Mgr calls & tells me I need to pay. I tell him no, I paid already. He asks me, so do I need to charge expedia.com? I don't know how your internal processes. Why is Mgr asking the customer what to do??? This is unprofessional. I just let it go. HE CHARGED MY CARD after I already paid! Hotels called him to correct this.
Week 3 - paid thru Hotels, next day Mgr calls me "you were suppose to check in yesterday, what is wrong, why did you not check in?"
Seriously? Why doesn't this man, the MANAGER, check with his employees before bothering customers? I did ck in and even changed rooms! AND HE CHARGED MY CARD AGAIN!
Make Tiffany the manager, this man is truly clueless to what is going on in his hotel.

Turned out they had overbooked my stay. They called me to let me know- when I called hotels.com to inform them no one could get hold of the front desk. I was already on my way so I went to the hotel and asked the front desk girl to talk them and she refused telling me that it would sort out on it’s own. The next day I called hotels.com and let them know I had a different hotel outside of their services and demanded my money back- again they couldn’t get a hold of the front desk. Hotels refunded my money thankfully but I will NEVER book this hotel ever again.

I called hotels.com for assist and they had issues getting thru....I called back 3 times from hall to try and get checked in. Finally the young man on other end agreed to get an attendent an they did in fact have my paper and key. WENT UPSTAIRS AND FOUND SOMEONE IN THE ROOM THEY GAVE ME!! Guess what?

I hate to even say this because everyone who works there is so sweet and they deserve to have their own survey for being so awesome but the property is gross. I felt like I was sleeping in a public bathroom. I understand pet hair in a pet friendly hotel but tumbleweeds of fur built up in the corners of the elevator is unacceptable. Aside from that I don’t think the bedding was changed from the last guest in my room as I pulled the covers back and found multiple hairs in the bed. It did not feel like home. The employees who checked me in and out were amazingly friendly and to be completely honest were the only reason I stayed the full first night. I found another hotel the night I got there and checked out 6 days early.

She said she would let the manager know the next day when he arrived. I never heard from the manager and never got a discount.

This hotel stole our money for no service.
As we were checking in to the property, the employee in the front desk was very cold and rude and he told us that only 2 of our reserved 3 rooms were ready. When we went in one of them was in disarray, obvious that it was not cleaned and both rooms stunk of smoke, despite our reservation of nonsmoking rooms. We didn't even bother to check anything else and demanded a refund. The same employee guaranteed us one and agreed to let us go to another hotel. All 10 of us heard him say this and went to a new hotel.
Weeks later, we have not received any refund and the manager was "gone" the multiple times us as well as Expedia called. Eventually, he refused to give us a refund and Expedia simply relayed this message without doing anything about it. We never stayed in this hotel and moved to a different one because the employee assured us a refund but they kept the money. This seems to be how they run their business and Expedia helped them do this.
