I do a Fall Foliage Trip every year. I hit nature sites every day. Some can be as far away as one hundred and twenty miles away, as was Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. I always try to pick a central location to all the sites that I will be visiting. The Mountaineer Motel was a good pick. I was pleased with the room, the location, and the amenities. Wi-Fi service was very good, which is always very important to me. If I were to ever repeat a visit into this area for a Fall Foliage Trip, I would stay here again.

While this is not the best review, ultimately, it provided comfortable beds (no bugs) and a night of sleep. Good price. There is no carpet to trap creepy crawlies. It does not match pictures in the least.

No AC, no chain lock on door. No bedside light or plug. Behind dresser dirty. Sink had soap scum, shower curtain maybe not clean (water spots between folds). Outside could use clean up (weeds very tall, trash present)

Toilet was clogged upon arrival

Bad location, no one was in the office, you had to call , thr room was unlocked, he said go to your room the door was opened, the key was inside the room. The microwave, was not plugged in, I plugged it in, did not work, I had to call back to report this, about 15 min. Someone came and tried it. He had to get another one. There was no air-conditioned in the room. There was a ceiling fan, with the only light in the room. No table lights at all, it look like the door was kicked in.

I never got to see the motel

The night prior to my stay at this motel, the owner? Called me and asked if I was still planning on staying at the motel. I booked and paid for the room a few weeks ago, so obviously that was a yes? The next night around 7pm I get to the motel, there was no receptionist on, but there was a phone on the side of the building with instructions to call the number listed. I did and the man told me i was being upgraded to a cottage?? And to go down the road to their campground. After being told they had no cabins left, the kid at that check in called his owner and I was told to go to the cottage. I get the key from the lockbox and go inside. There are 2 sets of bunk beds in one room and 2 double beds in the loft. I was traveling alone and did not need an entire cottage to myself. I did not have access to the air conditioner, and it was very hot in there. I put the key back in the lockbox and drove away to find another motel (no cell service on the campground). After calling the owner to state that I left and would like a refund, he told me that the cottage should’ve been more than adequate for one person traveling alone and that he gave it to me for the price of the motel room that I had ALREADY PAID FOR AND THAT I WAS NOT STAYING IN instead of the $180 per night rate for an old cottage on a campground.
