We booked this place because it was recommended to us by a friend. We looked at the photos on their site and got really excited about staying there. I wasn't even sure what the cost was per room or that there was an "economy" section. I just called and said I wanted to book two rooms close to each other because we would have our son with us. The lady I spoke with was wonderful.  She told me all about the place and its history and was super sweet. We actually drove up there early so we could spend a few hours checking the place out and it seemed like there was stuff to do from the pictures. We got there and our rooms were in economy which we weren't too mad about but they were not very cozy. There was a lounge outside our room but nothing worked. Not even the pop machine. We decided to wander around and saw no one at all to ask where anything was or anything. The billiards room was closed. The bar was closed. We even found a young boy at the front desk and asked if the bar ever opened and he said he didn't think it did. Said it was for special occasions. If thats the case, it should say that on the website. Other reviews I read said staff gave them tours or told them about the history.. We got nothing. While we were roaming around the nice historical part a man walked up behind us with an attitude and we asked if we were allowed to look around and he said no and then asked if we were even guests. When we said yes and told him which rooms he said "oh. In economy" like we were filth and way below him. And then just walked away while saying "don't go upstairs." The young boy that was at the front desk was a nice kid but said he had only been there a week and didn't know much about the place. Later when my husband walked out to our car the rude guy from before was yelling at the young kid calling him an idiot or being very nasty. And he did it all right in front of my husband. Right in the lobby at the front desk. We thought that was very unprofessional and it made us as guests feel awkward. He should have had that kind of conversation in a private office somewhere. Maybe upstairs on that forbidden floor?? We wanted to walk around outside and look at the view and the property because it looked so gorgeous but we felt so unwelcome that we just left and went to dinner and didn't come back till late. The next morning was pretty bad. Our rooms were combined by a shower. With no way to vent and steam. There was a big hole in the ceiling where a vent used to be but was never replaced. It was so hot in that tiny little box that we couldn't even dry off and get dressed in there. We had to leave the room. The light above our sink was burnt out. There was a huge paper towel dispenser, but it was empty. There was dead bugs on the floor by the window. It wasn't a BAD room but for a little time and energy it could be a lot nicer. Cleaner. Had I known there was an economy area I would have at least asked the price of the nicer rooms and probably would have asked to switch rooms. Maybe then the strange man would have been a little nicer to us. There was no coffee. No caffeine at all since the big vending machine outside our room didn't work. So we left first thing in the morning. When we were checking out, the super sweet lady I talked to on the phone was working and she was again very nice. She is the only reason I even gave two stars and hesitated for so long to even do a review. I didn't wamt to give her a bad review. Just wanted to give an honest review. If you're going to stay here, definitely ask for one of the rooms in the main part of the building. Those rooms were gorgeous.  

Disappointed

When I try to tell friends about our stay here, it sounds like something made up!  We stayed in the historic bed and breakfast wing.  It had so many twists and turns a person can get lost. Rooms with animal heads, furniture and antiques with price tags, pianos with old sheet music, winding narrow staircases leading to more hallways with room after room.and if you turn left in the entrance, you are in the former nursing home wing. ...We had just toured the old closed  West Virginia State Penitentiary,, so it added to our visit to have all those prison stories in our head and be in that huge place on a rainy night all by ourselves!  One other couple was there, but I saw them leave out the window before dark and never heard or saw them again.  It would have been nice to sit on the porch, take a walk on the property, or try out the hot tub, but it was raining the whole time we were there. Todd, who checked us in, came back the next morning and served us our breakfast.  It was good (not over the top bed and breakfast level,  but tasty).  My husband and I both loved the coffee.  Even though I could tell Todd had a lot to keep up with (not many employed there for as huge as the place is) he offered to give us a tour which  made the stay much more memorable. After knowing the history and seeing more of the place with him; if we are ever back in the area, I would like to stay again.  (if it is not raining!)  Some young couple came in to take their  wedding pictures as we were leaving.  The gravel road leading to the property is long and full of ruts.  I can imagine it costs a fortune to keep that place in repairs.  
If you are adventurous, don't require modern amenities to make you happy, and aren't afraid of the  dark,  stay here!

Seemed like a dream

The staff was fun and helpful.  The building was a blast to explore and was an endless list of things to do. The value for the room was a blessing. Breakfast was supurb and I want to make another trip just to stay again. 

Most entertaining hotel I have ever stayed at.

I stayed on a weekday and so glad i did. The historic environment was overwhelming. The historical society tagged artifacts that decorate the mansion. beautiful artwork. good breakfast. beautiful grounds. deer roam the grounds. wonderful place

Wonderful Getaway into History

First things first: The staff her was extremely kind to me.  They had overbooked my room type so they bumped me up to a nicer room.  The breakfast is EXCELLENT, but only included with the more expensive rooms.  Ten Dollars extra for the economy rooms.  The person below complaining about not getting a nicer room clearly doesn't understand getting what you pay for.  A steakhouse isn't going to give you a filet after you order a burger just because they have extra filet cuts....
This hotel is split into two parts.  The historic old Bed and Breakfast (Rooms 1-6) and the economy motel rooms.  If you see the sixty dollar rate you are getting the economy room which I cannot attest to.  I was placed in room 4 which had a very nice bed and state of the art massage recliner.  Even bathrobes were provided!
Finally a few complaints:
A few of my towels were dirty/stained but they replaced them as soon as I asked
The lights outside are very bright over the entry way and stream into the room windows.
The bathroom is VERY small.  I barely fit sitting on the john.
So in conclusion, check this place out but spring for the nicer rooms.  Bring an eyemask and you'll have a wonderful night and delicious breakfast.
