    Bar area.

    The remodeled Billy's Bar area is fantastic. Great atmosphere and friendly folks. Bar opens at 3 pm and kitchen opens at 5 pm. It is a plus if Rebecca is on duty at the bar. Great mixologist! Bar holds about 10. Booths and tables available. Cozy and subdued. Nice!! Great food. Smaller but varied menu.

    Went to the bar area for some drinks and appetizers. This place definitely deserves 5 stars for the atmosphere, the look makes you feel like you are stepping back in time. The service was good. Food was ok, nice mix of international dishes but the drinks could use a little upgrade.

    Such a great place! I'm glad we found it online :) A full bar with DELICIOUS food steps away from our room; I had the BEST saag paneer! Cozy room (with two bar chips waiting on us!) -- Service was great from the time we checked in til the time we checked out. I wouldn't change a thing and I want to come back as soon as possible!

    By far the best local place for foodies. Although the menu spans a variety of cuisines, they were all executed well. The owner is passionate about her food. I ordered 6 different dishes and enjoyed every one of them. After each bite I kept thinking "I can't believe I'm enjoying 'big city' food in the tiny town of Davis, WV!" Safe to say the Billy Motel greatly exceeded my expectations of what I expected to find in this area.

    This place is okay. The decor is awesome and it's right next to the entrance of Blackwater Falls State Park, but I'd say those are all of its pros. We stayed for one night in October. Check-in was easy at the bar, and we got two free drink tokens. The room was clean and I liked that the TV is Chromecast enabled. Everything started out great. When we returned in the evening from our sightseeing, we wanted to enjoy some drinks in the gorgeous lobby area with the fireplace. Alas, it was not meant to be, because although nobody was there and it was freezing cold outside, you had to rent the room for your use ahead of time. So we were told to stand outside with a few smokers, while the fireplace crackled for no one in particular other than the bartender and owner's daughter. If the lobby rental was because of COVID-19 precautions, I'd accept it, but neither the owner's daughter sitting inside or the bartender were wearing masks, so I guess that wasn't the reason. We took our drinks to our room instead of standing in cigarette smoke. We weren't pleased about that situation. Otherwise, if someone is snoring next door or the semi trucks are engine braking on the road outside, you're going to hear all of it all night long. They do provide ear plugs, but I didn't find them adequate. Is this place super cute? Yes! Would I stay here again? No!

    While shopping around for a place to stay near Thomas, WV I came across the Billy Motel. This motel fit my vibe to a T! Excellent customer service, comfortable bed, clean rooms/bath, Chromecast enabled TV's and 2 free drinks from the bar. They had a nice small bier garden where you could be comfortable with social distancing while enjoying the lovely West Virginia fall weather. Will definitely stay here again if I am in the area.

    Welcome to the 5 star club Billy! The husband and I were headed to Morgantown and on our way we wanted to explore and check out West Virginia a bit more. The husband searched for an area that had a bit of hiking and a few restaurants and breweries to explore, which is how we happened upon Davis. Davis was a perfect spot and there is a ton of stuff to do, explore and enjoy. To find a nice place to stay he used Google Maps then checked reviews on Yelp. The Billy was amazing. A very clean and comfortable room that had a super comfortable bed! Being close to the road we were a bit concerned about road noise, but no problem there. The staff made this stay super fun. Henry was awesome, and we wish him the best of luck on his future project. The owner was amazingly friendly and cool. The staff is so fun that after checking out downtown we came back to the Billy bar and hung out with a bunch of the locals who gave us even more tips to enjoy the area when we return. All total the room was about $100, and so was our bar bill, lol. We loved it here and may check out more motels like this during our future travels.

    Inside the lobby and bar area, cool fireplace!

    This is not a 5 star motel, but we had 5 star experience here, so I stand by my rating! Well decorated eclectic hotel, clean and comfortable. They kept enough of the old-fashioned touches to make it feel vintage and authentic. Upon arrival they offered us to drink tokens good for a drink at the bar. They also bring you two glasses and a pitcher of water to your room. In the morning we enjoyed delicious French Press coffee and prepackaged biscuit crackers on the patio. Wi-Fi was strong, shower pressure was good. We enjoyed the nice landscaping out front, and also the variety of plants by the patio. So many thoughtful touches made our stay here unique and memorable. We'd love to come back and have dinner as we hear it's pretty good! Very friendly and approachable staff.

    Cheese board!

This place perfectly personifies the spirit of Thomas, WV, and maybe even a little bit of Davis mixed in there too. The building is historic with tons of character, located right at the end of the loop as if you can't exit town without paying homage. The inside has soooo much character and is decorated perfectly in a mad hatter style. We often stop here for ice cream during our wanderings of Wild Wonderful West Virginia but have been known to get food from time to time as well. I would say that everything is honestly priced. They aren't trying to get rich and they aren't trying to rip off the community, just serve it and make a living and keep the doors open. The food is on the cheaper side and the quality matches. I don't think they're after any Michelin stars but more interested in just feeding the people. Service is on par with the attitude of the building and blended well. Just enough at just the right time. You might have to swap a few chairs from one table to the next to find the right combination for your party as I think all of the chairs in there are different. They also serve the community by hosting music, up to 300 events per year according to their website. That's one of the only times I skipped the fiddle when I was passing through was when they had a band with a cover and we just wanted food. We wanted to sit down and eat but were told we had to pay if we stayed but could take the food to go or outside without the entrance fee. I think we just went over to Picnic instead which is also a great local spot! See you next summer fiddle!

    Mt Top Convenience…read more Shades of Colassessano's Matriculating into Fairmont State in the 1960's entailed an array of eventful activities which enhance and develop life. As a subscriber of direct on campus education, I eagerly embraced campus life. One element was selecting membership in Theta Xi. Weekly meetings were accompanied by a Theta Xi gathering at Colassessano's which was a colorful Fairmont Pub. Sadly this institution has been replaced by a sanitized version. During that era, Pittsburgh beers appealed to the working class, and popular labels included Iron City Lager, Fort Pitt Beer, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Schlitz, Miller High Life.... As a three year high school letterman, and scholar athlete, I had zero experience with beer, wine, spirits, and shine - all were available to Fairmont State students. I was not yet eligible to hold a draft card. While Theta Xi brothers debate the advantage of various Pittsburgh beers, I was happy to purchase a pitcher of nearly any cold draft. Given decades of European travel, I developed a palette for several German and European brews; none of which were offered at Colassessano's. In retrospect it is this appreciation of European brews that spared me from the emerging micro brewing craze. Ok, some of these brews are very good, and several are horrendous. It was at Colassessano's and the publican that I encountered my first Pepperoni Roll. Home baked rolls included mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmigiano. And Oliverio's Hot Peppers were added to this bundle from heaven. Later we learned to cherish the Colassessano's pizza. This pie seemed to approximate a Chicago deep dish pie with mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmigiano, Oliverio's Hot Peppers, pepperoni, hot sausage, .... Mt Top Convenience is listed on the West Virginia Pepperoni Trail, and for good reason. I take care to phone in an order form Ohio one day in advance of pickup. Of course, I visit the local Davis grocery store for a dozen bottles of Oliverio's Hot Peppers. I take care to import Pilsner Urquell and Guinness Stout for this ski holiday. Yes, Guinness Stout is better in Ireland. Mt Top Convenience offers a variety of interesting brews, and there are several microbreweries in this area. Mt Top Convenience offers a great take on pepperoni rolls. Caveat: do Not take chances with filling station pepperoni rolls which are pre-packaged. Our goal is to support local business, and our menu and dining options for this holiday will center on local West Virginia businesses.

    Love to support small business…read more That's why I stop in to Mt. Top Convenience. A stop for all things. The hamlet of Thomas, WV was a notorious gambling and mining den.

The young lady who was working Thursday night (11/10/16), "Angel", was as sweet as can be. She welcomed us with a smile and gave us some tips on where to find some place to eat the next day. The next morning, my husband and I returned to the station to pick up some coffee and a quick breakfast. There was a young man behind the register and an older lady in the back by the coffee. Neither one of these employees made eye contact or smiled when we greeted them, but we felt their stares as we got coffee and sat down in a booth to eat a sandwich even though we asked if it was okay to sit down in the booth to eat. We left thinking, maybe they were upset they had to work on a holiday? We returned later that evening to buy some bottled water and another older gentleman was behind the register carrying on a conversation with a young lady about correctional officers in a women's prison who if I am not mistaken had exposed themselves to the female inmates. Whatever, none of my business... I got the merchandise I wanted to buy ready and placed it on the counter once the young lady had left and the counter was clear. I tried to make eye contact with the man at the register and said, "hello, how are you?" but he ignored me and instead rang me up complaining that his scanner would not work properly. As I paid him, again I smiled and tried to engage him but he avoided my efforts. Okay, so why should I care right? I guess where I come from people actually try to be nice if they work in customer service, so it was weird to be totally ignored. Hopefully, "Angel" can find a way to rub some of her pleasant personality off on her coworkers.... Sincerely, Happy to be back home in Virginia
