    1. hair in the sink 2. balled up, filthy washcloths shoved into the AC unit 3. stains all over the walls 4. putrid cigarette smell 5. holes in the bathroom door 6. a live-in neighbor who banged on the wall and screamed the second I got in the room 7. a stinkbug infestation in the curtains and under the bedskirt 8. drunk live-in neighbors who chain-smoked I just left at 11:45pm and got another place. This place should be condemned.

    Nothing There were bugs, the Internet did not work, it smelled like nicotine the whole night, it was dirty, the ceiling had a big crack going down the middle with wallboard exposed.

    OLD PICTURES. Very unclean and smelly would never stay here again and do not recommend. The pictures must have been taken a long time ago it’s very run down there were stains on everything walls furniture curtains it was bad .

    The photos of the property were incongruous with the reality of the room. The damage and lack of upkeep in the room strongly affected my negative impression of the overall property. Though the location is perfect for access into harpers ferry and c&o trail, and the view outside the room is awesome, the smell in the room and overall lack of attention makes the experience not worth the price I paid. Also, clearly, Internet has not been available for some time at the property.

    The room was clean and comfortable and reasonably priced. The staff was polite and helpful.

    Ok so the heat worked well and everything else was below par. It had been raining and it would have been nice if they had a mat outside our door. We tracked water in with ever bag we brought in. I guess what skived me the most was they didn’t have a flat sheet. So you slept in a bed with a blanket that clearly wasn’t cleaned after ever guest. The curtains didn’t close all the way. No ice on the property. They told us we could go to the liquor store but we didn’t need a big bag of ice. The property was not kept up. The driveway has weeds growing every where. The building could have used a power wash most everything was green. I can go on but what’s the point. Wouldn’t stay here again if you paid me.

    Very scary room with stains and splats on walls, dirty doors and doorframes. You can see that no one cares about the upkeep of this place. No flat sheets so you gotta go under poop color blanket I doubt anyone washes. Flimsy lock, no hair conditioner, furniture from 70s, I could hear the neighbor snore the whole night, I’m sure he heard me too. Cleanliness and sanitation

    In the morning when I went to eat (a very disgusting breakfast) I was made to wait 15 minutes for someone to open the door. When I returned home I called to complain about the price and additional aggravation of the door I was given a 10% refund. THE PRICE WAS THE SAME AS I HAD BEEN TOLD WHEN I CHECKED IN. APPARENTLY, THEY DIDNT THINK ME SPENDING AN EXTRA HALF HOUR AT THE FRONT DESK WAS WORTH ANYTHING! DO NOT STAY HERE.

    When I checked in the attendant asked me to look at the room to see if it was OK. Bad sign .. the ceiling had mold that was sprayed over it. When I turned the heater on a borderline infestation of stink bugs came out from the curtains. The was also stained and worn furniture and the beds were hard as hell.

    Just don’t! It is so nasty! Everything

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The manager and his wife told us as soon as he saw us that they are sold out.. there's no room available even though we made a reservation 4 days before checking in When he finally showed us the room. It looks like a motel room not a hotel. We ended leaving because we couldn't sleep there

    This was such a restful and calming place to stay. The quiet atmosphere made it easy to unwind instantly. I loved coming back to my room after a long day just to relax. The service was smooth and efficient. The staff treated me with kindness and professionalism. Management clearly prioritizes creating a peaceful environment. Everything felt organized and well maintained. It was an overall wonderful experience
