This is quite possibly the best hotel in Beckley. Or at least it will be soon. When I stayed here…read morethey were in the midst of a major remodel. They, you might as well say, tore it down to the studs and are building it back up. In the remodel, they are making it nicer than it was.
When we showed up, parking was ample. Even with all the space being taken up by the vehicles and materials for the remodel. You can park on all sides of this hotel, which is good. As on this road, it shares the road with other hotels, restaurants and fast food establishments.
The biggest of highlights here is the staff. They were super helpful, knowledgeable, and on their game. Upon check in they were ready for us. They had everything lined up so that when we got to the front desk, all the had to do was get our ID and everything else was set. This was the quickest check in process I have ever gone through. Then we were off to the room.
The room was spacious. King sized bed, couch setup that could turn into another sleeping spot if needed, fridge, streaming sign in capabilities. Obviously the rooms were the first thing they focused on in the remodel as they were all set to go. Some rooms have balconies. However, you are not going to get the best view and they are not that spacious.
Supposedly, breakfast is included, but I didn't get a chance to partake. Other things currently available, and inhouse bar/restaurant, pantry area to grab a snack or drink, and maybe a gym.
However, with a remodel, not everything is available and you need to be careful in navigating the area. Upon arrival and getting to my room, I needed to go back outside to grab something from my vehicle. I decided to go out the back door since the side door is currently unavailable, but honestly, the back door is probably unavailable as well. When I walked out there, it is like the pool/community space, but it really was part of the construction.
Another low point of this stay was that there was a fraternity in house for a nearby event. At two o'clock in the morning, being woken up by those guys running up and down the halls is not fun. I was a bit shook by this, but went back to sleep. I know this isn't the hotel's fault, so I can't knock them.
Another perk for this hotel is that they have an offer with a nearby restaurant. If you show them your room key you get a percentage off meal tab. That is if you remember to use it. I completely forgot to do this even though I dined there.
Checking out was smooth as well. They were ready for us again. Everything was set and all we had to do was tell them we were on our way out.
