I had high hopes for this hotel, especially because it was supposed to be a special weekend trip. Unfortunately, I faced multiple issues, from check-in confusion with my reservation to an uncomfortably cold room that lacked proper heating. The loud neighbors made it difficult to get a good night's sleep, and while the staff attempted to assist, the overall experience was far from enjoyable. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a more reliable stay.

However, the lack of housekeeping and some elements of safety concerns made it a less than ideal experience.

The Mountaineer Inn has a unique charm with its retro neon sign and is quite affordable, making it an overall good choice for budget travelers.
