Marlinton Motor Inn, Marlinton

My family thoroughly enjoy our visits to the motor in. Everyone there treat their guest like family. Teresa, the manager is a wonderful inn manager and a GREAT roll model for the rest of the staff. We've been going there for years while snowskiing at Snowshoe rsort. We receive a christmas card every year from her and the staff...what a great touch of class and customer service.

awhile back had best breakfast ever there went back this weekend and it was horriable.said cook had left because of bad management from office officials that dont even know what is going on there.wish he was still there made the best omlets ever loved them this on i had wad bad.

We stayed here for a Valentines Day getaway. It was a wonderful time. The room was very clean and the jacuzzi in our room was so much fun. The restraunt was very nice and had good food. We also enjoyed a live band in the lounge on that eve. Definately planning to return. Thanks! Pauline

The room was very clean and staff very friendly. We ate at the cafe breakfast and supper. The food was very good, portions and price reasonable. We will be returning.

The MMI had most of the amenities of a $60 a night motel at about double the price. We stayed here late December 2007 on a ski trip. My complaints: 1) they have an unusual service fee policy and seemed somewhat inflexible about reservation changes 2) No high speed internet service. 3)long distance phone calls from room a bit pricey - typical of any hotel. I spent around $28 on perhaps that many minutes of calls. (Your cell phone will not work in this valley. I heard there is a blackout because of the nearby radio telescope observatory.) 4)the heater unit did not have a thermostat - I had to get up in the middle of the night several times to turn it on and off. 5)there was a small amount of late night and early-morning noise but nothing unusual or unexpected for a motor inn. When we got there, however, there was another guest who was trying to get a different room because of a noisy neighbor. They told her they could switch her room, but then they would charge her for both rooms!! 6) restaurant smelled musty to us. 7)one lamp not functional (probably needed a new bulb.) 8)had to open the back of the toilet once to adjust the flap to get the tank to fill. Compliments: 1)small refrigerator/freezer in room was a nice touch. 2) maid did a nice job making up the room and nothing was missing. She did not take the tip I left on the first night because I did not leave it in the special designated tip envelope. I attributed that to integrity. 3) breakfast at the restaurant was decent. 4) although the room doors opened to the parking lot (not through a lobby) we felt generally safe. We stayed here when we couldn't find a place up on Snowshoe Mountain. If we go back to Snowshoe, I will probably try someplace else, although I expect I couldn't do much better. Another skier told me they were staying elsewhere in Marlinton and that although that other place was a bit of a dump, at least they had internet service there. We did not eat dinner there at the MMI restaurant. Instead we ate down the road in Marlinton (The MMI is not actually in Marlinton, it is in Edray, WV) at The River Place. (Put that restaurant in a big city and it would not be up to par, but in this setting it was quite enjoyable.

The locale of the Marlinton Motor Inn is very picturesque. Our room was clean, and we enjoyed the food in the restaurant. The pool is new and beautiful. We had a wonderful stay. We especially enjoyed the gift shop.
