Cool Ass Hotel!!!! If you are a Lover of old Hotels this is your place!!!…read more It started with wanting to make Point Pleasant my first stop in my road trip home to California.. Why Point Pleasant??? Because of the Mothman of course... So we embarked from Woodbridge Virginia to Point Pleasant West Virginia... After hours of driving we see signs pointing us in the way of our destinaton... We arrived around 17:00 to the town center a few turns down some one way streets and there we are parked right in front of The Lowe Inn!!! I get out and walk through the doors and up the steps into the lobby... Its like I've been transported into a Stephen King book... Cool Right?? Well guess which one?? Scaning the suroundings I see a Phone Operator's switchboard, old room boxes for mail, pictures from the early 1900's & a small boy coloring on the floor but nobody behind the desk.. As I get closer to the front desk the boy looks up at me smiles, says Hi and takes off to another part of the hotel... I say HELLLO and out walks the caretaker of the Hotel!!! She greets us with a smile and asks if she can help... Of course we reply with the "we would like to stay for one night" Mary then begins to ask if she can see the rooms and the Caretaker says of course lets go upstairs... They leave and I begin to take pictures of this cool lobby... ... This place put me in the mindset of Stephen Kings: "The Shinning" and upon there return we find out that we will be the only ones in the Hotel tonight!!! Mary then asks about ghosts.... OOOOOOO right!!!! Caviot we will be staying in the same Room (303) as "Rob" from Survivor!!!!! Lets just say he freaked out when he stayed in that room!!! LOL I thought to myself what a wimp.... :) So we check in $59.99 plus tax for the night cool right!!!! The Whole hotel to ourselves for One night only 59.99 can't beat that.... The Caretaker hands me a Skeleton Key with a room plate 303... Now I am like too cool a Skeleton Key to unlock & lock our door to the room.... Of course I have pictures of me using the Skeleton Key opening the door. I grab our things and head upstairs.... This place has grand hallways and are long just like in "The Shinning" I was really expecting to see the girls on the tricycles but not this time... Maybe it was too early the sun had not set yet..... We head back down looking to get something to eat.. The Caretaker recommends one of her favorites down the street called Iron Gate... Dinner is over and we walk back to the hotel cold quiet erie but awesome!!! This town is right out of a Hollywood set.. In the town where the Mothman Prophecies originated!!!!! Back at the hotel our car is the only one the street creepy.... When the caretaker said we would be the only ones in the hotel she meant it... Nobody there just the Janitor but we never saw that person or even heard them that whole night... Heading up the stairs Mary was waiting for some ghost activity all I wanted was to shower and get naked... The room has a King bed that feels like Heaven when on it... the decor is early 1900's there is a Water heater to heat the room... This room ooozes Coolness!!!!!!!! If there were any ghosts in our room that night all they saw was my ass and a whole lot of naked!!! HAHAHHA LOL :) Honestly in all of the hotels I have stayed Hilton, JW Marriot, Hyatt, Wynn, Sheraton this was the best sleep in all my Life!!!!!! Never have I slept sooo good and been so refreshed!!! I love this place and will be back in September for the Mothman Festival....

My wife and I recently visited Point Pleasant, a place I've always wanted to go because of a…read morelifelong fascination with Mothman. As soon as we got into town we stopped at the statue of Mothman, I took lots of pictures, squealed like a small child on Christmas morning, and then asked the question, "Where to sleep tonight?" As soon as I saw the Lowe, I knew this was where we were sleeping. It's a fantastic hotel with the older elegance of a structure built in 1901. The caretakers were very friendly and allowed me to walk around the hotel taking pictures (there were no other guests) and telling me about the history. Yes, it can be creepy, specially if you read about the supposed hauntings of the hotel and have seen the Shining or the Innkeepers, but it's also gorgeous. We stayed the weekend after Thanksgiving and the family was decorating it for Christmas. Absolutely gorgeous! As some have mentioned the decoration is unusual and quite eclectic, the rooms all seem to be different, there is a banquet hall, a mezzanine, and a very cool ballroom on the fourth floor. Some rooms don't have amenities like refrigerators, the cable seemed to go out for a few seconds every few minutes, and there were no ice machines and such, but the hotel itself was just so much fun to wander around. It was also fairly inexpensive- our bill was around $70 something after tax and such. Fantastic place that I eagerly await another trip too!

The staff and owners make you feel like you're staying with family. This is the very best Motel I've ever stayed at, and I've been around (hyatt, ritz etc.) This place beats them all out. It's about environment. Anytime I'm in the area, this will Always be where I stay. Just can't say enough about how comfortable I was, the entire time. We stayed in the suite loaded with smart T.V.'s, USB charging ports (4), built into the nightstand lamps, duel climate control, upgraded bathroom with lots of hot water and pressure (for a wonderful shower) and soft fluffy towels to dry off with. If you're in the Gallipolis/ Point Pleasant area, this is the place you want. The prices are insanely reasonable too. They could raise the prices significantly and it would still be a great value. Here, you get way, way more than you expect to pay for. Love this Place.

We stayed one night in a 50 amp full hookup pull-thru site that was long and level. Fresh gravel…read morehad just been spread out on our site. Campground has lots of seasonal and permanent residents that had most of the shaded sites. Our site was open to the sky. Utilities are in the middle and water pressure was strong. No dog park but there were plenty of places to walk the dogs. It's dark and quiet at night so we had a great night's sleep. Owners were very helpful and accommodating. Campground is 4 miles off the interstate on narrow, winding country roads, especially when you get on Middle Fork Road, where there are about 3-4 switchbacks with blind curves. Also if you have a big and tall rig, some of the trees have low branches. They're a PA park and also give discounts to military and veterans.

Sites are a decent size. Ours was very wet right outside our camper door well after it rained. Most of the best sites are used by seasonal campers and a good portion of those campers are in rough shape. No maintained hiking trails through the vast property. This place has tons of potential if someone took the time and money to improve it They do accept Passport America members at a discounted price. If you you do stay here, drive down the road a bit and eat at the TopSpot restaurant. Get the open faced roast beef sandwich.
