This was a third trip to the Marlinton Motor Inn. We always stay when we come to ride the train. The hotel is old and dated, but clean. The beds are comfy for a nights sleep. If your looking for the Hilton, this is not for you, but if your in the area and need a quick place to stay, this is your place. We were very disappointed that the lounge/bar had closed, that was a staple of us staying there. We would stay again, but weren’t as excited this visit…

Location was good for my trip. Large room. Clean large pool. Pretty views of mountains. Comfortable bed, good AC. Felt very safe. Family friendly. Frig in room. No microwave. Advertises jacuzzi, lounge neither open. Check in process was pretty old fashioned. Mostly handwritten, line backed up as only one on duty. But friendly just took longer. Pool was hard to find. Since I had asked how late it was open would have nice to be told where it was. It was very hidden away no where near my room. Had to go ask where it was. Did have pool towels in pool area. Curtains blow up and a bit open while AC runs maybe add some weights to bottom of them? No food options too close but gas station, conveience store next door.

Big Surprise!

I read a lot of bad reviews after booking the room and was expecting the worst, fearing that I had made a mistake with the booking . Man was I wrong, the desk clerk was very pleasant and helpful, the room was very nice and clean with everything working. Great place in a great location. The only downside is no cell service due to a radio telescope in the area. Use WiFi to set your GPS BEFORE you go traveling. Wi Fi is on the property and at most destinations in the area to set your GPS to travel to your next destination.

Loved coming here for the night! Despite seeming like an older motel, it's definitely worth it still. Internet access is good, the beds are comfy enough, and the staff are quick and kind. If I'm ever down this way again, I'd love to stay the night again!

Didn't like that there was no food options there. Vending machines might be a good suggestion for them. I like location, and the quiteness.
