I stayed here for a night and honestly slept so well. The bed was super comfortable and felt fresh and clean. The motel itself looks modern and well taken care of. Everything in the room worked perfectly, which I really appreciated. The staff was friendly and helpful from check-in to checkout. It felt like a relaxing and easy stay overall.

I wasn’t expecting much, but this motel impressed me. The room was bigger than I thought and very clean. The bed was comfortable and I slept through the night. The bathroom was well kept and smelled fresh. Hot water worked perfectly for a long shower. Parking was easy to find and convenient. The staff was helpful and friendly. I’d happily come back here.

Staff had to use Google translate to understand I wanted an iron(that I had called about ahead & was assured would be in the room). The water was hot but that's about the best thing about the room. There were no hangers, walls with patches of white paint over repairs, the top sheet was tucked in with the bottom sheet, the nightstand had cobwebs & an empty soda can behind it, no cups for the coffee pot, the WiFi didn't work, and the walls were so thin that I could hear the couple in the next door talking in a normal voice, and could almost make out what they were saying. The TV did work. The room had a refrigerator that froze my salad, and a microwave that needed cleaning, but did work. I don't think this facility is up to a level that it should be listed on Expedia.

The location was fantastic for visiting Harper's Ferry, Sweet Run State Park. Gas and convenience store across street. Proprietors friendly upfront and honest, showed room and told wifi wasn't working before check in. Frig, microwave in room, many channels on tv. Bathroom clean, bed fine. Minutes from Potomac and Shenandoah rivers plus parks. Would not recommend to families too small, nothing to do, no food options nearby. Room met my needs, but edges were dirty, damage to wall, bathroom door had a cardboard patch, cracks, walls and ceiling had stains. Outlet cover missing. Its a shame since some fairly simple repairs would do so much for the place. Huge pothole as enter parking lot, but can be avoided. Liquor store next door. If you're looking for a place to stay while hiking, enjoying the area its very convenient but there's a reason why the price is so cheap. Did not have bugs as others reported.

I would strongly advise against staying at this hotel. Upon arrival, we found the room to be dirty, unsanitary, and reeking of urine. It was in no condition to stay in — we immediately left and had to find alternative accommodations at our own expense. When we contacted management to request a refund, they refused to take responsibility for the condition of the room and denied the request, despite the fact that we couldn’t even stay there due to how unclean it was. This was an incredibly disappointing experience, and the lack of accountability from the hotel made it even worse. Save yourself the stress and stay somewhere else.

All Good, Will Be Back

Was exactly what I needed for a solo bday trip to the area. Minimal, friendly, clean. Didn’t mind that it’s obvious the place has been there a while. The parking lot has a huge pothole, which isn’t great. Just drive around it and be grateful for the great price and nature at your doorstep.
