Convience, Convience, Convience - the Quality Inn is the nearest motel to the New River Bridge - just a few minutes away from the bridge, the visitors center, etc. In the other direction, is a large shopping center with restaurants - lots of fast food and a couple of nicer restaurants, also a Walmart and CVS drug store, and a Sheets for gas. Within a short drive on Hwy 19 (a nice 4 lane road) there's anything you could need.
The motel is probably an older facility, but it has everything you could want. There's a gift shop, a lounge (it was closed for Christmas Day while we were there so I can't comment on it), there's a tennis court, basketball court, a walking path for your morning walk. We had in room fridge and microwave, I think some rooms do not have these, we asked for a room with. We had an in-room safe, which I liked, but there is a $1.50 fee for that (not sure if that is per night or per visit....we only stayed one night and our bill reflected a $1.50 safe fee)
The room smelled fresh and clean as we entered it....which is a plus. It was pretty much a typical motel room, beds, TV (large, flat screen), desk & chair. The bed was comfortable, we slept well. The bathroom was a bit small, but how much time do you spend in the bathroom???
Our only concerns were the carpet was a bit dirty, not bad, but you could see it was well used - and the water pressure of our morning shower. We like to be "blasted" with nice hot water in the shower. Hot it was, but it did not blast. Just a slow, somewhat steady stream.
BUT!!! with the convience and the very low cost of the Quality Inn New River, we would definitely stay there again.
For us it was a great value and a nice, quiet place to spend our Christmas night and then get up the next day well rested for a day of sight seeing around the area.
