"First impressions were terrible - get off the expressway and turn at the strip club into the neighboring hotel lot, then back out and find the steep unlit driveway into the actual lot. There, we were met by a crowd of guys smoking and eyeballing the new arrivals and then greeted by an empty desk. The clerk who did shortly come was friendly and overworked, trying to run the place without assistance. She listened to our preferences and gave us a decent room, overlooking the neighboring motel. The room was reasonably clean, the bathroom was sparkling, the sheets and pillowcases were a bit yellowed. All in all, it’s what you get for about $80 in West Virginia. Breakfast was truly basic but there was a bowl of apples for the road. Checkout went smoothly - again, the desk was deserted."
"The staff was more than welcoming and wonderful. The bed was a bit lumpy but we did not let that stop us from booking an additional night after they informed us about several sites to chance out while we were on vacation and in the area. Would stay there again if I am in the area. "
"The room was comfortable. The staff was friendly. The parking was good due to we had a trailer we were hauling. The hot tub was nice. The exercise room had a few exercise machines that didn’t work, torn seats and not in good condition. They were in the middle of repairs and redoing the hotel so a lot was under construction. Breakfast was okay. Not too much to choose from. Overall it was a good stay."
"Staff is as good as can possibly be. Super quick, helpful and very nice.
Sheetz right next door for all your fuel, coffee and snack needs. I’d go out of the way to stay here again. Plenty of parking if you have a trailer too. "
