As others have mentioned, the elevator is slow. Included is breakfast - eggs, small omelets, bacon/sausage, assorted cereals and oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, milk, juices, coffee, yogurt, fresh fruit, danishes and breads. Also located off the main strip. There is an Applebee's across the parking lot. Other restaurants, supermarket, strip malls w/in a 5 minute drive (or walk - if anyone even does that anymore!). They have a small work out room - 2 treadmills, elliptical, free weights. 2 computers in the lobby to use. Free USA Today newspaper. Excellent and free Wi-Fi. I really wish they had an indoor pool - shame they never put one in or I would have given them 6 stars!

** Update: Downgrading to 1 Star. Met with Manager for feedback on the review. He apologized for my…read moreexperience and took the position that "unfortunately their Regular Security Guard had called out sick...and well some parties get out of hand...but we are top rated with Holiday Inn...Sorry no can't comp you a free night, besides we're fully booked". Way to drop the ball--i originally gave 2 stars for the Sales Manager who took ownership & immediately refunded my first two nights stay and delivered a hand written apology note. I'm currently staying at this Holiday Inn while my father is in hospice care, and although the property itself is new, clean, and nicely updated with decent amenities, my experience has been extremely disappointing. This hotel caters to large wedding parties, many of whom treat the building as a second party venue rather than a hotel. Despite being assigned to the "quiet floor" and being warned at check-in about potential noise, my first night included what felt like a full-blown frat party in the hallway. After a sleepless night, I suggested the hotel consider simple courtesy signage--similar to what some bars use--to remind guests to respect others as they return to their rooms. This is a reasonable, basic step, and it shouldn't fall on guests to propose it. An even more concerning issue was the front desk service. When I asked for matches to light a candle to say a prayer for my father, I fully expected a polite safety-related decline. Instead, the employee said, "100% no problem--promise you will burn this place to the ground." Whether meant as a joke or not, it was wildly inappropriate, unprofessional, and deeply unsettling given the circumstances. When I asked another staff member the following evening if I should expect another night like the first, the response was simply, "That's how people are these days." No reassurance, no ownership, and no sense of hospitality. Overall, the lack of guest control, poor handling of disruptive events, coupled with shockingly unprofessional staff interactions have made an already difficult time even harder. I hope management addresses these issues, because the property has potential--but right now, the guest experience falls far short of acceptable.

Cons: -heat/thermostat isn't consistent... it blows directly on the bed closest to the window so that part of the room gets super hot while the bathroom area is still cold. You have to turn it way up to get the room up to warm and then turn it down. -tv is limited as far as commercial-free channels and you cannot stream or mirror. -the black out curtains did not reach the windowsill so light crept in right at eye level in the morning. Also they did not overlap and we had to close them with a hair-clip. -No snack shop in the lobby- just vending machines that only take singles. The front desk kindly made change for us. -The saline pool smelled weird... -we booked another night and I called the front desk early in the morning to keep the same room, and they said it was ok, i checked-in online and all looked good, so we went back to sleep and then the front desk kept calling because it wasn't going through on her end and said i had to come down... so i did and then showed her that it worked on my app and she said oh, ok then. Aargh

One of the worst Hampton Inn hotels I have ever stayed at. I don't know how it gets four stars because this place is awful.

I would say Cobmin is a worthy alternative consideration to the typical lower cost motels available in the same region, given the balance of the factors above. Here's what I liked: - convenient location to supermarket, restaurants, and downtown Branchville, and oh, the beautiful parks in the area. - free self parking. - free WiFi which was respectable. - amenities including a full-sized fridge with a freezer (came with a king bed room), gigantic flat screen tv, and comfy bed. - easy, contactless check-in and checkout. - fair nightly rate given all of the above. - responsive host immediately available via SMS throughout the process. Here's what I think could've been better: - it took several minutes for water to warm up. It's a good thing we weren't traveling in colder temps. - while the toilet is super efficient and the limited bathroom space is well designed and equipped, I so badly wished for more room in the shower. - a button or two on the AC machine appeared to be out of order, because despite high humidity and fluctuating warmth in the room, it was impossible to keep the air on. We saw a few state police officers knocking on the doors of some of the rooms as we pulled into the parking lot for check-in. We don't know what it was about but nothing catastrophic happened during our stay, and I hope it's not a sign of anything particular. Overall, I would recommend Cobmim to fellow travellers. I hope they keep improving and listening out for guest feedback.

Cannot recommend the Inn at Stony Creek enough! Bill and Joe were exceptional hosts from beginning…read moreto end. They took great measures to make everyone feel safe during these Covid times, with wearing masks inside, stations of antibacterial wipes throughout the inn, spacing out breakfast times and seatings, as well as spacing out rooms so that you aren't directly next to or across from another guest. Our room was so beautiful and super clean with its own private full bath. The inn itself is a beautiful victorian home from the 1800's thoughtfully and carefully restored to its natural beauty with a perfect balance of farmhouse and elegant aesthetic. The grounds were the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway weekend from the city, with rolling fields of lush greenery, a small pond with a tranquil fountain, and ample seating options outside to take in the views and sounds of nature. The town of Warwick is only a 10min drive and boasts lots of cute shops and restaurants. They close down the Main Street at night so that restaurants can spread tables out in the street for a socially distanced sit down meal out. It was the first time my husband and I ate at a restaurant in the past 4 months and we felt very safe and comfortable. It was lovely! Fun activities nearby include berry picking, farmstands with homemade ice cream, apple cider donuts, and pies, outdoor beer gardens, a drive-in movie theatre, the Appalachian Trail with beautiful nature walks and hikes, and wineries! Highly recommend this perfect spot whether for a quick getaway or extended stay. We will definitely be going back someday!

They were welcoming and we were greeted even though we didn't check in until 9:30ish. We opted to have our breakfast delivered to the room since we like to lounge around in the mornings. This was our FAVORITE part of the whole weekend! The first morning, we had scrambled eggs, sausage, and fresh fruit with blueberry pancakes. The second morning, we had stuffed french toast with bacon and fruit. Can I just say that I still crave both dishes, even after a month? They were the tastiest pancakes and stuffed french toast ever! Plus, we had a cute little view of the pond from our room. Long story short, I would highly recommend taking a weekend trip here. We booked the Appalachian Room and it had a fairly large jacuzzi as well, so that was a plus.

(If you advertise the rewards and include it in your surveys, you should follow through). They even advertise this on the TV in the lobby lol. Anyways regarding the room, the bathroom was the issue. Very old and updated, mold can be seen on the walls in the tub as well as on the walls by the bathroom mirror. They don't provide housekeeping. I went to the front desk to request toilet paper (room only came with half a roll) on the first day and towels on the second day. Both times were the same lady working, Bianca and both times she never brought the items up. I had to go back downstairs.

I had booked myself for a few nights as i was attending a funeral. Because I did not notify them in a timely manner, the establishment was going to charge me for the full amount of almost $1,000. Upper management was not going to take into consideration what happened and kept trying to get me to pay the full amount. When all was said and done, I was able to get them down to half the amount. They suck and are greedy. No matter what happens they will try to get the full amount from you unless you plan an accident in time to notify them. My sister was there and she told the person at the desk which was acknowledged. I would definitely bypass this place to stay as there are other hotels/motels in the area with a much better customer service department. They rate a "0" for experience

Very quiet area, right off the main road so easy on and off. Everything seemed to be completely re-done inside. Fridge/freezer/microwave, table with chairs gave that homely feel. Beds were comfortable, just very squeaky every time you moved around. The lady who helped us check in was super nice and very responsive with any questions. The bad Booked a room for 2 queen beds, these were 100% not queens. I know they were super busy and booked through with the Nationals in town, so i didnt make a fuss The room stunk like old cigarettes, even though no smoking in the rooms The tub had a massive bubble in it from the wrongly done bath fitter, and i was told about it prior and they have been so busy that they couldnt get anyone out yet to have it fixed. Overall, a solid 2 night stay. I would be back if in town again

Overall, it was a convenient option and very close to Mountain Creek, which made our trip much easier. Judy at the front desk was super nice and welcoming. The staff overall was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was good, and my kids especially loved being able to make their own waffles and choose what they wanted that was definitely a highlight for them! I really appreciated that the room had a microwave and fridge, which made traveling with kids much easier. The beds, sheets, and towels all seemed clean and comfortable. The only downside was that I wish the room had been a bit cleaner. We found some dust bunnies near the desk, and the bathroom lighting was very dark, which made it a little concerning after noticing the dust. Overall, it was a convenient stay with kind staff and good amenities, especially for families visiting Mountain Creek.

However I made sure to note that I would be traveling with my service dog when I booked and was told that there were complaints with me using the breakfast room. However I only used it once during the time I was there and only when it was empty. (There was a couple finishing up and leaving.) otherwise it always had people so I avoided it. When I explained that he was a service dog and I needed him with me, I was told "well he's still a dog" and was dismissed. So yea I couldn't use the breakfast room which made staying here pointless. I could've gone somewhere cheaper that didn't offer food. Other than that I was mostly in and out so can't really complain. Maybe about the random guys yelling and running in the halls at some 1-2am. The staff just needs to educate themselves a bit more regarding things like this. Because I couldve been a total b***h and explained that it was illegal to turn me away and blah blah blah but it honestly wasn't worth the fight and I just decided to check out early instead.
