Econo Lodge Harpers Ferry, Harpers Ferry

Had to stay in this hotel for work, and couldn't wait to get out. It wasn't so bad of a sleep, but when I woke up, I noticed what I missed the night before.... there were stains all over the sheets. And then when I got up to take a shower, the shampoo bottle was nearly empty, meaning that whoever cleaned the room put the used bottle back. Absolutely disgusting, and I let the front desk know about it.

Upon entering the lobby, there was a strong smell of stale smoke that was evident throughout the hallways. Our room was a non-smoking - which was a nice reprieve after the initial smell. I didn't feel that the room was very clean. The first thing I saw was a pubic hair on the toilet seat. That kind of set the tone for an "icky" feeling the whole time I was there and I slept wrapped in my throw blanket I brought. They do recognize military personnel and offer discounts. If the room had been full price, I would have been extremely disappointed in the cleanliness.

The hotel staff were very accomodating, I would say as well. The only thing that irked me and my bf was the stench that met us as we walked in the room. The room smelt of feet and smoke. The room was very well kept though. Everything in its place, just the way it should be. The breakfast was really superb. I loved the waffles. If the price was right, I would not hesitate and book a room there again.

I loved the fact that the hotel was small and staff were very accommodating. My room was clean and had some extra amenities that I appreciated (free in-room wireless internet access, fridge, microwave, coffee maker). In the evening, there were brownies and fresh coffee in the lobby. The free complimentary breakfast was especially good where I made my own waffles. But, my high rating is attributed to the overall friendliness and helpfulness of the local staff. I would recommend Harpers Ferry to people interested in beautiful scenery (National Park), nature (hiking, whitewater rafting), history and even the casino is only 10 minutes away (Charles Town Races and Slots). Would make a great weekend getaway from DC or Baltimore.

The website on this Comfort Inn is incorrect in stating that this location has a swimming pool. It does not have a pool, and the management is aware of the discrepancy but has not corrected this information. Vacuuming is few and far between, bathroom is well used and needs upgrades, at least new caulking. A dead cricket was on the floor for 3 days, until I picked it up. Used Q-tips were on the floor for my entire 5-day stay. Would not recommend this Comfort Inn if you're looking for a clean room.
