The owner of the mountaineer hotel is a very rude man.... I hope that no one in their right mind would have to ever stay at this hotel. He thinks the public shouldn't be able to stand on a sidewalk and have fun or enjoy the company of friends just having a conversation because he says in his words, "people won't stay or even stop to rent a hotel room because,they're are people near the entrance to the hotel". He himself thinks that people shouldn't be able to have the right to gather in any acapect i wouldnt ever stay there if that is the last way he treats the general public why would I pay to stay where I couldn't step outside the hotel to get fresh air or meet new people who may or may not have come into town to enjoy the Hatfield McCoy trails. He can't even support another local businesses in our small town which brings some ecomony to the general location of 2nd Ave in the town of Williamson. It is really sad and patheic that he doesn't have anything better to do with his life than to downgrade others and slander a local business and local resisdent that is not the way u bring in business if I could give this hotel double zero stars I would why would anyone want to have customer service that way. The sad part of it all is the local business that he bashed was one of his own properties that he rents out but apparently local people are beneath him and his stuck up ways, I would watch where I stay you never know your own name couldn't be dragged through the dirt and you couldn't be accused of being or doing something you did not do. All I have to say is it is sad and patheic and petty. Watxh out or your business in town could be next. TOURIST BEWARE OF THE MOUNTAINEER!!!

The Mountaineer Hotel is in a great location. It is in a quiet part of town. There is a nice small restaurant called Starters right down the road, only a three minute walk. A nice Walmart and track are about a five minute drive away. If you want to get outside for a nice walk you can just walk around the block and not worry about getting lost to easily. One can walk around at night time as well, because it is all lit up and the town gives a vibe of being very safe and friendly. The atmosphere in the hotel is very relaxing and welcoming. The receptionist is extremely friendly and will go out of her way to make sure your questions are answered and you feel at home. I was trying to find out where the Walmart was and the receptionist over heard me talking to my colleague, she politely intervened in the conversation to give me clear directions. The building is very clean, almost to clean. The floors shine and the decor is very extravagant. It is very beautiful but still very comfortable and homey. As I was heading up to my room I was expecting a small cozy place based on the hotels lobby. Once I open the door I see a small comfortable living room. The next room is a big room where two large queen size beds are located and on the side of the living room a small bathroom can be found. The beds are extremely comfortable and the AC is very easy to control. The knobs are clear and you can turn it up or down as you please and actually feel a difference in the temperature. The hallways are nice and quiet and there is no traffic disturbance either. read more

I must say you can't judge a book by it's cover. Not to say the outside of the hotel was not inviting, but it's just that the inside was incredible. The more I explored as I found my room that the notable country singer Tex Ritter once stayed in, I was revealed to all the elegeant and historical characteristics of the hotel. The furniture made me feel like I was in the 1950's, the rooms suited me very well with big beds that were good for firm matress lovers, the strong water pressure of the showers really made it easy to clean-up, and I could have probably spent a day walking down the rooms on all four floors just to read all the notable people who have stayed at the Mountaineer Hotel. For instance, not only did I stay in Tex Ritter's room on the fourth floor, but Henry Ford stayed in a neighboring room as well as College Basketball legend Adolph Rupp. The hotel does not have a fitness room, but it does have plenty of games for adults and kids to play such as shuffle board, ping-pong and fooseball. Despite the lack of a fitness room, I chose to jog-down a block to the City Gym which also has a historical atmoshphere. In fact, the structure used to be apart of a former coal company's biuldings used for meat storage and a station to be transported to the mines. I felt like I was in a Rocky movie, maybe Balboa himself once stayed in the Mountaineer Hotel as well...you should go see for yourself! read more

My stay at the Mountaineer Hotel is one that I will never forget, and it will now and forever have a place in my heart. From the moment when I first walked in, the stunning architecture and antiques that filled the hotel lobby enamored me. Throughout the entirety of my stay the receptionist was constantly working to provide us the best stay possible. Then the part that made this an invaluable experience was the night prior to my departure when I had the pleasure to set down and express my gratitude for her service and exceptional courteous demeanor--and how she really made Williamson home-like during our stay. With her responding that she appreciated us for staying, as well her motive in not just serving us but the community of Williamson entirely is something that is very much admirable. Lastly her closing remark stating that she hoped I felt I always had a home at the Mountaineer--which once again reaffirmed me that the mountaineer was the only choice when considering lodging in Williamson, WV. Peace be to her and the Mountaineer Hotel. read more

This is a really nice historic hotel. It smells so good in the hallways. Also the rooms are all named after famous people who stayed there previously. It is a little confusing to where the rooms are, but they give you a map. It has a lot of interesting history. The inside is definitely lovely. They have a huge chandelier. The service is absolutely wonderful. The front desk is extremely nice and very informative of the places in town to eat. There are different kinds of rooms as well. They have wifi in the rooms! It was great walking into a nice cool room! It is really spacious. They have a good ac and heater. They also have a nifty mini fridge with their large tv. The toilet and shower are clean. The shower is pretty spacious! They also have solar panels on their roof. They use a combination of coal and solar energy to run a part of the hotel building. That is really cool! You should definitely stay here or at least visit this hotel while in Williamson! read more

I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel and it's furnishings were very beautiful and classy. Also, the lobby was very clean, which was a good sign for what was to come. As for the room, the beds were very clean and comfortable and the bathroom was clean, which was surprising because the shower is a walk-in shower and very large. Overall, the cleanliness of the establishment was very refreshing and the staff was very polite and professional. The only issues that I had was the loudness of the air conditioner, which would kick on and off throughout the night and that there weren't enough outlets for my roommate and I to use. Again, the establishment is very historical and old, but very comfortable and homey and I would definitely recommend this hotel for those traveling through the area. read more

The Mountaineer Hotel was so quaint!! There were huge chandeliers that were breathtakingly beautiful when lit. My one complaint was that the WiFi was disappointing!! I could not get proper WiFi service in my room where I needed it the most. I could only get WiFi in the lobby area and that was frustrating. The receptionist's attitude was the true meaning of good ole Southern hospitality and I quite enjoyed the fact that every room was named after an important historic figure...I thought it to be unique to use historic figures like Eleanor Roosevelt and Aunt Jemima. If you're thinking about visiting Williamson, I would recommend The Mountaineer Hotel because apart from the WiFi problems, it is a satisfying place to stay. read more

The Mountaineer Hotel in Williamson West Virginia is an outstanding hotel. I loved the service. The majority of the rooms are named after famous people that have stayed at the hotel. For the love of God, I just can't remember the name of my room; I know however that I was just down the hall from the Ghost Lab room. Regardless, I loved every minute of my stay. On the negative side, the internet was very weak. From an Information Technology background, I can guess that the reason for that was because my cohort, a group of 20 people, connected to the internet from more than 2 devices per person which could have caused the server to overload and cause the weak connection. Overall, the experience I had was phenomenal. read more

I had the great fortune of being put in First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's room that had two comfortable beds, a television, mini fridge, and shower with a bath. The beds were comfortable and provided a great nights sleep. The hospitality was exceptional as the staff continuously offered to give us help in anyway possible. A game room with a pool table, foos ball table, and a shuffle board table. The only problem I found with the hotel was the sport WiFi signal that could really on be accessed in the lobby. However, I give this place a great rating and it's in a prime location for downtown Williamson. If ever passing through, check this place out for a great relaxing evening and a comfortable night of rest. read more

For two days I had the opportunity to spend some of my time in the outstanding Mountaineer Hotel. From the moment I stepped into the hotel I felt a connection with the history of the town. The inside design generates a feeling of going back in time. It felt so refreshing to feel closer to the history of the town through the hotel's setting. Moreover, the music played in the hall catalyzed the connectivity between the present and the past. The receptionist was extremely friendly and agile with our requests. The rooms were comfortable and the service provided was excellent. If you are in Williamson looking for a place to stay, Mountaineer Hotel is the best choice. read more

Upon first entering the Mountaineer Hotel, my colleagues and I were greeted by an enthusiastic and organized hostess who quickly guided us to our rooms and assisted those of us in need of help with our baggage. Once in my room, I was immediately pleased with the size of the beds and the fresh towels neatly folded on top. During my short stay in Williamson, WV, my room was kept clean, free WiFi was available, and I was allowed to use the lobby for work-related needs as necessary. Even though I stayed only two days in this hotel, I feel confident in giving it a 5-star review and would not hesitate to recommend it to a friend. read more

Walking into the Mountaineer Hotel is like taking a step back in time. The history is rich and great. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the rooms are excellent. The bed is very relaxing and the parking is very convenient. The wifi was very hard to connect which really was dissatisfying, but the purpose of a hotel is to rest and relax, and I believe the purpose was filled. I stayed in the JFK Suite on the 4th floor and it is very spacious and the television is great quality. I personally enjoyed my stay here and hope to one time in the future come back to visit. read more

I stayed in the William Henderson room and I found it really unique that they had famous people who had stayed in each room and had them posted outside the door. When you first walk in you're sort of taken aback by how gorgeous it is. It's very classic looking, but beautiful. The rooms aren't 5* hotel quality, but with the window air conditioners they'll, in a way, take you back in time. Good service, comfortable, clean beds. NO GYM or any workout equipment, which is the biggest negative for me. Good quality hotel besides the lack of a workout room or partnership with a gym. read more

This hotel was very comfortable and relaxing. It provides its user with a historical atmosphere. Each room within this hotel has a name in a picture frame next to the door that displays a famous person. It simply displays the person's name and what their primary occupation was when they were alive. The hotel also has elevators that are over a hundred years old, one of which even has the lever in it that was used in past times. This hotel is very unique and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. If you are visiting Williamson, then I highly recommend staying at this hotel. read more

Beautiful hotel established inside an old highrise downtown building. Each room is unique and some have very different room layouts which adds interest to your stay. We were greeted by a very gracious employee who was very professional making me feel like I was staying in a fine upper end New York City hotel. The lobby is beautiful, full of historic artifacts from the area. It's located right downtown near new up and coming resteraunts and on a beautiful sidewalk, great for evening walks. Love this place! read more

The room is huge. I love how they name the room after famous people. I don't like the bathroom very much. No bathtub. The shower look out-dated and the vent is pretty noisy. I think they'd better replace their towels with white new towel. The receptionist is nice and very helpful. the lobby looks very fancy with a lot of antiques. I love the chess table in the lobby and the table football in the basement. Apart from the towel, another thing that annoys me was the internet. I hope they can work on this! read more

Love the historicity of this hotel. Each room is named after famous guests who stayed in the very same space at some point. Moreover, the photos of the flood and the story of the restoration are heartwarming!! However, the internet connection is not the greatest and the elevator could stand to be updated. Also, there are photo voltaic panels on the roof!! The juxtaposition of the coal house and a "green" building give me hope that a coalescence of fossil fuels and renewable energy can one day occur. read more

My experience in this hotel has been very nice so far. The architecture is just beautiful in the building, it is in the heart of the town so everything is within a walking distance or a short ride. The hotel is experimenting with solar energy which is definitely a plus. All rooms are different and have their own charm which automatically distinguishes it from any other hotel. My room was very clean and so was the bathroom. However breakfast is not included and the getting to the internet is very hard. read more

Meets standards. I stayed in the Clyde Ware room (331). The front desk service and the level of cleanliness of the rooms is very good. The environment is quiet and peaceful. Opportunities for improvement are: the parking; which has bad drainage such that you have to walk through puddles of water; internet connection in the room, which is very poor, the pool table in the game room, which is not well maintained ( the pool sticks are broken worn); and the elevator service, which is not so reliable. read more
