The motel is conveniently located off the highway, close to many places in town and across from an excellent restaurant. The motel is dated, but has everything you need. It was quiet and clean.

Very nice little place to stay. The rooms give off a “grandma’s house” kind of vibe (the smell is there, too. Not in a bad way, not humid at all.) I slept well, the beds were cushy (maybe a bit too much for me, personally). They allow dogs ($15 fee) and have a specific potty area for them with waste bags provided. Laundry services were also available ($1.50 in quarters for washer, $1.00 in quarters for dryer). The staff was very friendly and it appeared they have coffee to buy. The bathroom does have some poor circulation, and the tub drained slowly but did drain the water. Would stay again.

Location perfect. A small ride off C&O bike trail. Storage available for bicycles and a cleaning area as well. Decor is a bit dated but water was hot and AC worked after biking all day! On-site laundry a big plus!! Great restaurant across the street.

Grumpy staff, dry room, you get what you pay for.
Check in staff was grumpy on arrival, later one of the staff was friendlier and more accommodating. They tried to charge us extra to store our bikes. The room smelled of mold or mildew, the beds were worn, stained and way too soft. We tried to gain access to our bikes a little early and were met with,” 8 o’clock!, you said 8 o’clock!”, and had the door shut in my face.

We booked this motel on the recommendation of a friend. The room was spacious and comfortable with an easy chair and a sofa. No desk however there was a round table but no chair to use at the table. The bathroom was small. Light switches in the bathroom were confusing. I believe we were the only guests there that night.

I liked the uniqueness of the property.. it’s like a time capsule of the past. The office staff are rarely around and many times when I’ve tried to book it says the hotel is full … but it’s actually just not open. Frustrating.

The room was clean except for the carpeted floor. The corners of the room had not been cleaned or vacuumed and there were dust, nail clippings and dead bugs. The heating system was very noisy and annoying. There was no free breakfast - so that needs to be changed in the advertisement. The bed was clean and comfortable. Front desk person not very friendly. I would not stay here again.

Perfect location just outside of Berkeley Springs. Staff was kind and courteous. Bed was comfortable. Though the room was non-smoking, one could tell it used to be a smoking room for many many years once upon a time. Some upgrades are needed. For one overnight stay, it was spot-on.

It's Hancock, Maryland--not Hawaii
Adjust your expectations; this is a serviceable 2.5-star motel. The people running it don't seem too happy about it, but it was clean (if dated) and affordable. There's a washer and dryer and it's close to the bike trails, so if you're on the C&O or WMRT trail, consider it. Good restaurant--the Potomac River Grill--right across the road.

Worked for us
Furniture in our room was new and the bed was comfortable. This is a quirky motel so be prepared. Good stay for the adventuresome. Great food across the street. Motel would seem a lot nicer if the owners would get rid of the old, moldy outdoor furniture. Some rooms appear to be long term renters.

The room was relatively tidy for an old motel, however, management clearly has decided not to invest in the place. The mini fridge made an annoying ticking sound all night long, couldn't unplug it because I had food in it, luckily my cpap machine helped drowned out the noise (I did wake up twice, though). The area is not very safe for cyclists, especially if you're doing the C&O trail, as it's surrounded by highways and roads with speeding drivers.
