4/10 Fair

It was quite inexpensive and that was reflected in the condition of the room.
Gloria, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Looking for a quiet place to stay away from the city noise? You have a diner across the street and tons of great outdoors activities nearby. Service was awesome and room had all the amenities I needed for a few days to myself. You pay a competitive price for your visit for what you get.

We needed a place to stay and this did the job, but..,a little grimy in places. Staff was friendly but she seemed a bit overwhelmed and struggled with check in.

Potomac River Motel

My stay at Potomac River Motel was a pleasant experience. The owners were very much "hands on" ..friendly..welcoming..accommodating. I will definitely stay again. Highly recommend Potomac River Motel.
wanda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hotel room smelled, the bathroom was dirty and the site was run down. The pictures are not where you are expected to stay. We cancelled as soon as we got there and looked at the room. Not safe.
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hotel canceled the afternoon of our reserved night

We booked several weeks in advance through hotel.com called the afternoon while we were traveling and told us they had a problem with our room and could not accomodate us as planned. We had to call around to find a hotel at the last minute. We still have a charge for that night where a credit is required to our credit card.

An older property but inexpensive

It always comes down to you get what you pay for. I just needed an overnight on a long distance Road trip. The staff were extremely friendly but the property is obviously very old and it shows. Although the property is no smoking, my room was very musty and smelled of smoke. Fortunately I had some Febreze with me
Gretchen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was great, but the bathroom was less than desired. It was surprisingly large well layed out room. However, the bathroom was not clean. This may be because it was a last minute booking though

A Place to Lay Your Head

A little worse for wear. Still, a nice old-school motel for people on a budget, looking for a place to lay their heads for the night. I would return.
Charles, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice staff was accommodating. No issues.
DAMEION, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great MCM vintage feel and extremely comfortable

Pros- I loved the vintage charm. Staff was wonderfully welcoming and very friendly. Bed was super comfortable. This place is older, think MCM knotty pine and furniture. I loved it. Con’s (or not depending on your needs)- My room looked a bit dim and worn but was very clean and comfy. I was using GPS and the sign wasn’t obvious and came quicker than expected so I drove by and had to re rout the first time. I was here 3 nights and would stay again. If you need a great night sleep at a reasonable price this is a great vintage place. If you need newer and amenities you likely will be better off at a different place.
Keith, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff/owner were wonderful. The property seems under renovation and/or newly purchased with some repairs still needing to be made. Rates reflect, in my opinion, a good price even so. Beds were very comfortable and I had a good night's sleep. The owner was willing to be present to me at midnight on a late arrival with very little notice. Several restaurants within a mile. Charming area.
Kim, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Employees are very friendly and responsive and there is a good, cheap diner across the street. The price is right. Just understand that this is a cheap motel with the connotations that may summon. They had to move me to another room after someone next door to me began yelling and thumping--maybe in withdrawal? All residents must be in by 11pm. Works for biking the C&O.
David, 1-night trip

Older motel, clean, comfortable.
susan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Old old old! And dirty

The room was okay but dirty, the bed sheets had blood stains on them and the bathroom was disgusting, nothing the cleaning service could do, the entire place needs overhauled, there were hardly any rooms taken and they put us next to someone who I suppose lives there and they weee up all night talking and laughing. So much for some peace and quiet. The girl at the front desk was very nice and personable but I would never stay here again or recommend this hotel
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

Nice retro motel adequate for an overnight stay.

The property was very nice and it was off the road, so there was no traffic noise. There was no noise from the other clients.

Nice motel in Hancock,MD

We were cycling the C&O canal and stayed here for a night. It's a real old-school motel. A little dated but clean, everything works, and good value for money.
