Bottom line: motel was renovated somewhat recently, so the pictures looked worse than the rooms. Honestly, it was very clean, and although I brought my own pillow and comforter, the beds were fine. Seriously, for a 100 bucks, you could do worse. I was pleasantly surprised.

The room and price was decent . We stayed a few times. Staff was always polite and housekeeping as well. They always gave us what was needed extra soaps toilet paper washcloths, towels and etc. Answered phone right away. Only once have had a slight problem it really was nothing that could not be resolved in which it is was handled right away. But in all everything was great. We were able to have peace and quite, staff was great and courteous and price excellent for all that we received. At least this place had all the necessities we needed at the time. Thank-You staff, management and owners for having a clean and quite place for us to relax and stay at. We will be back again.

Pass this one by. On a Sunday night at 10pm the tailgate party was literally in front of the room I was assigned to. The dessert truck was in front of the door. One door down was the grill and beer. In the morning I could hear the thumps of clobbering footsteps long before my 7am wake up call which I could not reach because the phone was behind the TV at the foot of the bed. There were no outlets near the desk or bed. When it was time to take a shower there was no hot water. I personally would not walk on the carpet without slippers. The only redeeming factor was the bed which delivered a good night sleep- but not good enough to come back at any price.

The place has really improved from last year till now! The remodeling of the rooms have been an awesome idea and a major improvement! The rates haven't jumped too much either. I give this place 4.5⭐ for a motel. Keep up the great work, Relax Inn.

Relax Inn – Comfortable and Convenient The Relax Inn in Hampton, VA is a solid choice if you’re looking for an affordable and convenient place to stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with a spacious bed, a decent work desk, and nice wall art that adds to the atmosphere. The bathroom is roomy with a nice marble countertop and a separate sink/toilet area. The location is great—right in the center of town—and the staff is consistently polite and helpful. For a budget motel it’s dependable and well-kept.
