Fig jam, sauted mushrooms, bacon, Munster cheese, half pound burger... and it was delicious! Asparagus was just the way I like it. The fries were hot and crispy. The bottle of beer was icy cold. Don't you love it when you get in the car after leaving a resturant, thinking, wow, that was perfect. There was an out-of- state foursome near our table who commented to each other how much they loved the building and toasted their friend for picking the resturant.

Burger and beer hit the spot though. The hostel portion is decaying and dirty, and has a reputation for being so, almost like they try hard to make it super run down - like hippies took over some abandoned building and started living there. Even with that expectation it was still a little bit too uncomfortable. Dirt all over the floor in my room with some rugs slapped over the floorboards to hide it, filthy bathrooms where I still felt dirty after taking a shower, and really bad WiFi where I couldn't upload any videos or photos (LTE was much faster). A hornet was flying around the exposed ceiling on my first bathroom visit. A few shelters have definitely been cleaner and more comfortable. Will let the photos do the rest of the review.

At first, I was a little confused by this Chinese-named hostel run by an older Caucasian woman…read more But in her younger days, Laurel traveled quite a bit, becoming enamored with China (hence the Chinese hostel name). Because of her traveling, Laurel is familiar with what makes a good hostel, and accordingly provides those perks - clean beds, free soap/shampoo/conditioner, all you can eat waffle breakfast, hang-out common area for socializing, shared kitchen, board games, and bike storage locker. There's even a world map for you to pin where you're from. (Sidebar: As you'd expect, the clientele are outdoorsy folks (hikers and bicyclers), so they're on the younger side. Which is a bit different from the Teahorse website which shows a bunch of older folks congregating together.) There are a few down sides to this hotel though, which is why I knocked the rating down a star. Beyond Laurel's control, the hostel is about a mile from Harper's Ferry and that mile is 95% steep uphill, which wasn't especially fun on a bike. (It's also technically not in Harpers Ferry but the next town over.) The price is also a bit on the steep side for a hostel. We paid ~$145 for a room (consisting of 4 bunk beds). If you're renting just a bed, you'll also pay ~$35 a person, and could possibly end up in the shared room for 8. Maybe these are Harpers Ferry prices, but I know of hostels in downtown Boston that charge about the same price. Overall though, I enjoyed my experience here.

There is also a shopping outlet attached to the parking lot which was very nice. The hotel itself though was just eh. Got the suite and the price was good but there were issues with the room. The microwave only worked if you "slam the door shut real hard". The bathroom door didn't lock and the furniture overall gave you a real cheap look like it was random pieces that they just threw into the room. The swimming pool was nice. Little small but nice. Main thing is that if you're looking to stay somewhere where you have a bed at the end of your adventuring then this place is perfect. If your goal is to stay in luxury then this isn't for you.

Seating for about 4 people at a time. No living room. Does not answer phone use email. RE: lockers. Asked about lockers and was told this hostel has them. NO OTHER INFORMATION. Upon arrival, the man who lives at the hostel said "we have small lockers that do not lock. If this does not meet your needs, we can refund your money,." He needs to be trained in what makes for good "customer service", before he will become a valuable part of the staff. After some back and fourth exchanges, he said "there is a place where your things can be locked up, but you will not have access to them unless you connect with me".
