The Flagship Inn is the classic roadside motel, utility lodging sitting just outside Petersburg, Virginia, for those budget-conscious travelers either making their way up or down the I-95 corridor or spending time at the nearby army base of Fort Gregg-Adams (formerly known as Fort Lee—yes, another one renamed). It stands in a traditional two-story exterior corridor building that harks back to an era of motor lodges with scant pretensions beyond offering parking directly in front of a sleeping room. The place almost exclusively attracts fellow low-budget road trippers and contractors working somewhere around here; Flagship also provides battlefield tourists who prefer investing cash into tours and museums rather than high-thread-count sheets someplace to lay their heads. Amenities? Not so much. But modern chain hotels have nothing on its straightforward experience amid this city saturated with historical significance.
