Homestays in West Virginia, United States

When researching my motel of choice, I saw several reviews that this place was dirty. My bathtub was a bit dirty and room looked a bit old, but was not terrible. However, you expect your room to be clean upon checkin. Customer service is sorely lacking though The main entrance was closed and had a sign directing to me to another door. That door was locked. Not very welcoming to guests. My biggest issue was the next morning. My toilet had broken and would not flush, so I went to the front desk. The crotchety old woman would not even look up until I said good morning. Even then, it was like I was bothering her for interrupting her work. When I told her about the toilet, she said she would let maintenance know. Then a couple seconds later, she told me that if I ”need to use the commode”, I'd need to use their plunger. I told her that I am paying a for a fully night's rate, I should not have to perform my own maintenance. She snapped back that ”There's nothing I can do” because the maintenance person was not there. This was during working hours about 8:30 AM, not like it was 3AM. I then told her to give me a key to unoccupied room since the restroom in the hallway was also Out of Order (great maintenance smh). Clearly upset, she handed me a key and didn't say anything other than ”I need it back” ASAP. When I entered the room, I saw that it was clearly used. I was hoping that someone had just checked out and that no one would re-enter. No one did, but the room obviously had not been cleaned/sanitized so that added to the issue. When I finally checked out, she did not even look up or speak to me. I don't want to imply that all employees are like her ( the young man that checked me in the night before was friendly), but I'd be willing to bet that she has been rude to others since she was to me before I had even said a word to her. As for the 2 key system, on one hand I like the added security (makes me wonder if there have been issues in the past?), but it became a hassle when the outside door key would struggle to work. I had to play & turn it several times. Room itself was mediocre, but definitely not a place I'd like to stay again.

Wanted to do a little late winter camping and this was perfect. We weren’t set up to tent camp so rented a little cabin. No electricity but had heat and lights. Nice little porch and a fire ring. There is a nice tent camping area right on the creek. Little propane tanks and firewood available for sale on site at very reasonable price. Very friendly and accommodating service. I would suggest bringing mattress covers as well as sheets. Everything was clean but not new.
