Stay Away From This Place!
By Tom, 10/28/09
I was totally deceived into thinking this was going to be a decent place for a one nights stay, but we are completely fooled by the website. The pictures in no way represent what you will get when you arrive. We selected a lodge room, which we were told were "totally remodeled and modern". I saw the following: unpainted trimwork w/ nails sticking out; no phone in room; satellite TV w/ no way of adjusting the volume or ability to remotely turn the TV off; no fire alarm; no manner to lock the door from inside (no chain, bolt, or swing-arm lock). The TV was a early '80s color TV. The mattress was disgusting and the pillows are about 2" thick. The "continental breakfast" advertised on the website consisted of 2 6oz cans of pineapple juice and 2 pre-packaged blueberry muffins that were left on the desk when we checked-in. The food might have been good had we been able to sit down. At chec-in, I asked if we needed a reservation and was told "no". We came down to eat to us stand in the hall-way for 10 minutes while the waitress, " would see what he could do". We seem to have been forgotten about, then went to Applebees in Elkins (very nice for an Applebees by the way). The rooms are above the restaurant, so the noise level is naturally high. It's also conforting to know there is a full commercial kitchen in operation 8' below where we sleep w/ no fire alarm! Do yourself a favor and go to a Econo 8 or sleep in your car...you'll be better off. In addition, this place cost us over $100.
