I felt very welcome, the room was very cosy and many stores are near the hotel. It was a perfect stay to relax. So I recharge my power to hike on.

We had a wonderful time staying at Wheeler's! Each room has its own unique personality. They have two adorable cats. Everywhere in the house was pristine. The location is the best part about this place, though. It's located right in the heart of Damascus within easy walking distance of restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay here again next time we find ourselves in Damascus!

Great hospitality. Washed our hiking clothes for us and had loaner clothes available so all our clothes could get washed. Lots coffee and teas options. Breakfast options are just some bars and fruit snacks. Pretty extensive area of snacks and other items hikers discarded to go through. Very nice people. Highly recommend

I would elect Pat to be our next president. He is that great with people. Needs to quit the tobacco though. I want him to be around a long, long time. Bosses ned to give him a big raise and a company car. But not a promotion. He's too cool to be a manger.

Booking was effortless through Expedia. We were greeted at the door by Pat, the owner. He gave us a quick tour and set a combo code to the front door of the house of our choosing. There is an open snack and coffee area, and "trail magic" shelf full of items that a hiker might need without a store nearby. The shared bathroom was WELL stocked. The cats were very friendly and the inn gave plenty of notice of the household cats. All in all a very enjoyable stay. The actual bedroom was quite small, but we were only using the inn as a base to explore the area. Everything was spotlessly clean. My wife and I are already talking about going back and it's a pretty far drive for us.
