Very happy with my choice to stay here. Staff was very nice, Francisco cleaned the snow off my car my first morning there. Duke was an excellent breakfast companion. Hotel is a great central location on WV for my week long vacation to explore the state. The town is close to major highways, but small enough I enjoyed the quiet after coming home from a day of driving/exploring. I will be back here next time I take a visit to WV!

We stayed in one of the riverfront domes, it was an excellent setting. Domes are nicely setup, have everything you need and the heating/AC work great. Bar had a decent selection of drinks including wines, beer and mixed cocktails. Host was great and adjacent to the property there is EV charger. We live 9 hours away and would consider going back for a few days.

The grounds were very nice with yard games and fire pits. Nice area right on the Elk River. Cute little bar to relax and get a drink. Breakfast was freshly cooked and very good. The "dome"we stayed in appeared very clean, however, my only complaint was the "musty" smell. I should have asked for different accommodations (which would have given owners opportunity to fix the situation) but was very tired from driving all day so decided to put up with it for the night.

What an intriguing town and the Elk River Hotel is definitely the place to stay in Sutton. Emily is a native and warm and welcoming and Francisco is a joy. Don't miss his delicious Latin breakfast which is included in the price. The website could use updating. The restaurant at the hotel is closed, though there is a weekend bar, and a good place to eat in town is the Braxton Bistro. The hotel is situated directly on the Elk River in a beautiful spot. Try the glamping unless you have dog. By the way, the real Flatlands Monster isn't an alien, but the railroad tie plant in town.
