The Alpine Lodge

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.

The whole place needs renovation. In my room the shower leaked, there was water on the floor of the bathroom, toilet did not flush well, the carpet felt damp, no microwave. After 2 nights I asked for a different room. Second room had no coffee or microwave.

There was no no staff. At check-in there was a list posted with your names and door codes, checkout had an envelope with a receipt. The bed sheets had brown stains down the side that did not look like rusty water stains. There was no coffeepot in the room, though the gas station down the road had excellent coffee! Nothing would play on the TV, and the AC unit was filthy

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 It was an outdated unkept property that needs work.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Photos and site information outdated.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.

We tried to make it work but it was dirty, run down and not comfortable.

Cigarette burn marks on furniture. Window was broken and would not shut all the way. No hot water. Bedding was clean.

Basic lodging but clean with great hot water!

Motel is convenient to outdoor excursions and restaurants. Needs serious remodel. Ice on inside of frozen windows. Felt like a deer camp with old furniture. A comfortable bed would have been nice.

Spent 2 nights - the room was clean, the heat worked well, the shower was hot with good water pressure but it drained very slow so you were standing in water up to your ankles by the end of the shower. It is not a fancy place, but staff were pleasant and it had everything we needed while in the area to enjoy our favorite band that was playing at the Purple Fiddle in the neighboring town of Thomas. We had breakfast Sunday morning at the Sawmill restaurant. Our waitress was lovely and friendly and the food was piping hot, quite good and reasonably priced.

Bed mattress and box spring old, hard and needs to be replaced. Bathroom window dirty, broken and doesn't provide privacy. House across street can see in. Shower door needs replacing. Hallways and hallway carpet dingy. Doors showing their age . Only thing going for it is it's close to blackwater falls. Otherwise find a nicer, less rundown place to stay

The Sawmill Restaurant looked like it has been closed for some time. Photos of it should be removed from the website.

The room was clean, but shabby. A 1960’s style room with pealing wall paper, cracked walls. The mattress had a plastid covering. Under the sheets.

Firstly, there were few outside lights and none above our door causing me to trip and fall
Our room hadn't been cleaned well at all. The last person's soap was in the shower. Floors had crumbs all over. Wall outlets didn't work. The smell of musty mildew slapped you in the face when you opened the door.
Mostly and worst was the mattress. It had absolutely no support under it and pretty much did a V in the middle. We might have gotten 2 hours of sleep.
If there were any other hotels near, we would have left
It's also only attended during business hours, so there is no one there to even change your room after hours
The front desk keeper was extremely kind and didn't charge us when I told her all of this, but I would have much rather had a decent bed and gladly paid the bill. She also didn't seem surprised though.

I'm not super picky and I don't need perfection, but I would like a comfortable bed and not to walk on someone else's leftover dinner crumbs

Safe, clean and easy parking

I liked that it was quiet , friendly people , the room was in great condition , the hot water was excellent , the atmosphere was great! The office lady was nice. Check in was great and check out was the same! My husband and I have no complaints.
