It was fantastic

There are few options for lodging in Davis, WV. Last year, while traveling through the area, I snubbed The Alpine Lodge because it looked (and is) old. I chose Bright Morning Inn instead and endured two days/nights with no hot water and a very uncomfortable bed. Although The Alpine Lodge is old, the rooms are clean and warm, the beds are comfortable, the on-site restaurant serves great home-cooked style food, and the area is quiet and safe.

I was doing a trade show at Canaan Valley resort and only needed 2 nights. 3 night minimum. They listed 2 alternative properties. I have stayed at the resort, and thought their suggestion would be ok. It was an outdated unkept property that needs work. No way to secure one of the windows (front of room on hallway). Bed that was like sleeping in a bouncy room. Has not been updated in at least 20 years. It was nothing like description. Restaurant was not open entire time was there.

No one in office even though it was only 3PM and posted hours are 8-4. Key was put in box with full name and room number on it. Would recommend if office is not open to just put first initial and last name on envelope for security.

Room needed major update and repair. Refrigerator leaked and never got cold. Shower was either hot or cold…nothing in between. Huge stain on chair. Springs could be felt in the mattress. Huge hole in the bathroom screen. Was definitely much better when I stayed 2 years ago! Won’t be returning again!

Photos and site information outdated. Very neglected hotel with lots of damage in parking lot, exterior, and hallways; exterior doors rickety. Office not well marked, I couldn't find it at first; and when I did, it was closed. So hours do not match advertising, ditto for restaurant. They did leave my key and room number in mailbox; as convenient as it was, it was not secure. Being on the town's major road, that was worrisome. HOWEVER the room was on the second floor, the door locked securely, and the room seemed clean, bed comfortable, clear instructions on using the old AC and water system. TV did not work well; kept changing channels in the middle of searching etc. Middle of night vibrations in the room, perhaps from others using their AC? No way to safely allow in natural light; the only window opened to the hallway ... This is one of 3 motels/hotels in Davis; the other two were full so I made do for one night. Late the second day, I got a room at my preferred location. Too late to get a refund for that second night from Alpine, but they refunded the third night. Although they charge too much money for the condition of the place, I hope they use the $$ to get an office sign, update their web presence, and start some repairs.

Property was.ok. Not great. Carpet was not clean.

This hotel is old and outdated. So I guess for it's age, it wasn't terrible. But it was not the nicest of places to stay. The room was as clean as it could be. For just an overnight stay if you're passing through or there to visit Black Water Falls State Park, it will do.
