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.

First, our fault for not reading all the reviews. Only saving grace is the liquor store steps away so you can drink yourself to sleep. However, this place is an absolute dump. I don't think the rooms, besides changing our bedding, are ever done. The floors are sticky, walls are moldy in the bathrooms, and the outlets are a fire hazard. I don't know who was using the lamp shades and curtains as napkins, but it is gross. Have some self respect and at least clean. This is a convenient location, and it could be cute if a little effort was taken. I do not recommend this place to anyone. Sleep in your car before here.
