    Glen Ferris Inn falling apart

    I would not recommend the Glen Ferris Inn. I was given the "newly renovated" room and it was awful. There was mold around the AC unit, the bathroom was dirty and there was mold in the tub/shower. The mattress was cheap and uncomfortable. The furniture was old and worn...the chairs in were old outside wicker chairs that still had dirt and rust on the feet. What looked "newly renovated" were the windows and maybe the carpet. To make matters worse, the toilet overflowed and I had to use the public bathroom every time I needed to go. It wasn't very nice having to leave my room in PJs to use the facilities. They should tell you to bring your own towels. Their towels are the worst quality possible and look like they are 30 years old. The outside of the Inn was dilapidated and in some areas, falling apart. The food at the restaurant was the only good thing about the Inn. It was good ole country food. Great cook. Although the food was good, I would never go back. This place may be a landmark but it needs some help.

    Great Inn to stay at, beautiful inside displaying the history. Large dining area, with grest waitresses. View the Kanawha River as well as the Kanawha Falls while eating.

    This review is for my weekend stay at the Glen Ferris Inn as we attended a wedding held there. Quaint is certainly a word I would use to describe the the place. Nice enough but it has seen better days. Gorgeous location with beautiful river views. My room was comfortable as were the two rooms of my in-laws'. I was lucky enough to get a room on the river side. They were on the front, which had a great deal of traffic noise due to its proximity to Route 60. Inside the rooms, there are touches of paint that need attention here and there. Bits of mold (bathroom) here and there. Crappy towels. At least there was plenty of hot water! SIL told me housekeeping did not even bother to make her bed even though they did clean her bathroom and change her towels. But they remembered to leave a tip envelope. The meal we ate in the restaurant was breakfast. Stick to the more traditional offerings, like eggs and bacon, and you'll be happier. On to the event... There is a special events room with a deck that overlooks the river. This is where the wedding reception was to be held. But well after the wedding event was booked, GFI informed Stepdaughter the deck was no longer available for her wedding event due to "safety concerns". If it were me, I would be negotiating for a chunk of my facility rental back if I could no longer use the deck for whatever reason. The food served for the reception was typical banquet food. It was perfectly fine but nothing particularly memorable about it, unfortunately. I will not bore you with what all we went through just to make our reservations. But it took multiple phone calls, emails and even a visit in person to sort it all out. GFI also might want to consider updating their website. Their site uses a Java plug-in that is not supported by any current browser. One other thing that would be nice would be wi-fi. The area has spotty cell phone coverage because of the mountainous terrain. Wi-fi would not that hard or expensive to install and make available to guests, who would appreciate it greatly.

    Enjoyed a very good meal and a beautiful view here. Great service also. Homemade rolls were like Mom's.
