This motel sits off of 29 in Rustburg. It does have a vintage style and the beds are comfortable. The room that I stayed in was very clean. I have stayed here several times and will continue to do so. I have spoke with her several times yesterday and she is the sweetest person that I have ever met. Hope to see you guys again soon! I WISH that you guys allowed pets, I have a 4lb dog that I would love to bring with me.
I have known these good people and this establishment for more than half my life. Su is like a second mom to me. I have stayed here more times than I can count. It’s my home in between homes . In fact I’m at The Fountain right now! Every time I walk into any room it’s always so clean and smells so good! It’s quaint cozy and quiet here. Yeah I know it kinda sucks not having a mini fridge and a microwave but I have been told that will soon to be added to the cozy nice sized rooms! This little couple that owns the place are like family to me! They’re good noble kind and considerate people that I have a great deal of respect for! And if Miss Su ever reads this review herself I just want to say I love you mom!
