    Bar area.

    The remodeled Billy's Bar area is fantastic. Great atmosphere and friendly folks. Bar opens at 3 pm and kitchen opens at 5 pm. It is a plus if Rebecca is on duty at the bar. Great mixologist! Bar holds about 10. Booths and tables available. Cozy and subdued. Nice!! Great food. Smaller but varied menu.

    Such a great place! I'm glad we found it online :) A full bar with DELICIOUS food steps away from our room; I had the BEST saag paneer! Cozy room (with two bar chips waiting on us!) -- Service was great from the time we checked in til the time we checked out. I wouldn't change a thing and I want to come back as soon as possible!

    Went to the bar area for some drinks and appetizers. This place definitely deserves 5 stars for the atmosphere, the look makes you feel like you are stepping back in time. The service was good. Food was ok, nice mix of international dishes but the drinks could use a little upgrade.

    By far the best local place for foodies. Although the menu spans a variety of cuisines, they were all executed well. The owner is passionate about her food. I ordered 6 different dishes and enjoyed every one of them. After each bite I kept thinking "I can't believe I'm enjoying 'big city' food in the tiny town of Davis, WV!" Safe to say the Billy Motel greatly exceeded my expectations of what I expected to find in this area.

    This place is okay. The decor is awesome and it's right next to the entrance of Blackwater Falls State Park, but I'd say those are all of its pros. We stayed for one night in October. Check-in was easy at the bar, and we got two free drink tokens. The room was clean and I liked that the TV is Chromecast enabled. Everything started out great. When we returned in the evening from our sightseeing, we wanted to enjoy some drinks in the gorgeous lobby area with the fireplace. Alas, it was not meant to be, because although nobody was there and it was freezing cold outside, you had to rent the room for your use ahead of time. So we were told to stand outside with a few smokers, while the fireplace crackled for no one in particular other than the bartender and owner's daughter. If the lobby rental was because of COVID-19 precautions, I'd accept it, but neither the owner's daughter sitting inside or the bartender were wearing masks, so I guess that wasn't the reason. We took our drinks to our room instead of standing in cigarette smoke. We weren't pleased about that situation. Otherwise, if someone is snoring next door or the semi trucks are engine braking on the road outside, you're going to hear all of it all night long. They do provide ear plugs, but I didn't find them adequate. Is this place super cute? Yes! Would I stay here again? No!

    While shopping around for a place to stay near Thomas, WV I came across the Billy Motel. This motel fit my vibe to a T! Excellent customer service, comfortable bed, clean rooms/bath, Chromecast enabled TV's and 2 free drinks from the bar. They had a nice small bier garden where you could be comfortable with social distancing while enjoying the lovely West Virginia fall weather. Will definitely stay here again if I am in the area.

    Welcome to the 5 star club Billy! The husband and I were headed to Morgantown and on our way we wanted to explore and check out West Virginia a bit more. The husband searched for an area that had a bit of hiking and a few restaurants and breweries to explore, which is how we happened upon Davis. Davis was a perfect spot and there is a ton of stuff to do, explore and enjoy. To find a nice place to stay he used Google Maps then checked reviews on Yelp. The Billy was amazing. A very clean and comfortable room that had a super comfortable bed! Being close to the road we were a bit concerned about road noise, but no problem there. The staff made this stay super fun. Henry was awesome, and we wish him the best of luck on his future project. The owner was amazingly friendly and cool. The staff is so fun that after checking out downtown we came back to the Billy bar and hung out with a bunch of the locals who gave us even more tips to enjoy the area when we return. All total the room was about $100, and so was our bar bill, lol. We loved it here and may check out more motels like this during our future travels.

    Inside the lobby and bar area, cool fireplace!

    This is not a 5 star motel, but we had 5 star experience here, so I stand by my rating! Well decorated eclectic hotel, clean and comfortable. They kept enough of the old-fashioned touches to make it feel vintage and authentic. Upon arrival they offered us to drink tokens good for a drink at the bar. They also bring you two glasses and a pitcher of water to your room. In the morning we enjoyed delicious French Press coffee and prepackaged biscuit crackers on the patio. Wi-Fi was strong, shower pressure was good. We enjoyed the nice landscaping out front, and also the variety of plants by the patio. So many thoughtful touches made our stay here unique and memorable. We'd love to come back and have dinner as we hear it's pretty good! Very friendly and approachable staff.

    Cheese board!

The town itself has that perfect mountain-arts vibe--historic brick buildings, quiet streets, and a steady flow of hikers, skiers, and road-trippers--and TipTop fits right into that rhythm. The shop is cozy and unpretentious, the kind of café where the warmth from the espresso machine and the conversations around the room cut through the mountain chill. It feels local in the best way--welcoming without trying too hard. But the real highlight is the coffee. The cup I had was excellent: clean, balanced, and clearly prepared by people who care about the craft. It had the kind of clarity and sweetness that stands out, especially when you're used to road-trip coffee stops that are just "good enough." This was genuinely memorable. If you're passing through the Canaan Valley / Blackwater Falls area or chasing powder at Timberline or Canaan Valley Resort, TipTop Coffee is absolutely worth the stop. It's proof that even in a small Appalachian ski town, you can still find a cup that would hold its own in much bigger coffee cities. A mountain gem.

They had chocolate bars: $10 for 2 oz, made in yes, Brooklyn. (Did I not chose to travel to WV?) TT trying hard to be hipster. Later visited Happy and More bakery/cafe one block down. Friendly, cozy, coffee was $1.50 less AND free refill. Nice homemade baked goods. Cafe is well-named.

    I would give this place six stars if I could. I can't believe I've driven by it for years,…read morepossibly decades, and never knew what was inside. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've stopped her to get gas before and knew about the liquor store but had no idea about the pepperoni roll bakery hidden inside! Pepperoni rolls are near and dear to my heart. They are comfort food from home. I have rarely found them outside of West Virginia so when I visit I pretty much eat a pepperoni roll diet for a week. The pepperoni rolls here are a bit different. They are soft and light and fluffy. Most of the ones I find are made from a thicker bread that's heavy and dense. I find the pepperoni and cheese ratio in these to be perfect. Not too much of any one ingredient. I tried the special of the week which was Crab Rangoon and I wish I didn't--not that it was bad, it just wasn't a real pepperoni roll. Then of course I got a regular one and a jalapeño one. My son got one regular and as we at them in the car he asked if he could have another so I gave him my card and back he went. They were about $4.50 each. Later when we came back through town after going to Blackwater and Douglas Falls, he asked for yet another and of course I obliged. I took mine to Blackwater Falls and ate it there. Nothing like enjoying West Virginia's most iconic waterfall while eating its most iconic food (sorry WV Slaw dogs). The liquor store here is convenient. Prices were only slightly marked up except on one bottle. The distillery and other stores have it for $65-69 and they had it for $110. I would have purchased it for the real retail price. They had a great selection of WV bourbons which was very nice. We will definitely be stopping here now each time we pass through, especially since Hellbenders closed.

The young lady who was working Thursday night (11/10/16), "Angel", was as sweet as can be. She welcomed us with a smile and gave us some tips on where to find some place to eat the next day. The next morning, my husband and I returned to the station to pick up some coffee and a quick breakfast. There was a young man behind the register and an older lady in the back by the coffee. Neither one of these employees made eye contact or smiled when we greeted them, but we felt their stares as we got coffee and sat down in a booth to eat a sandwich even though we asked if it was okay to sit down in the booth to eat. We left thinking, maybe they were upset they had to work on a holiday? We returned later that evening to buy some bottled water and another older gentleman was behind the register carrying on a conversation with a young lady about correctional officers in a women's prison who if I am not mistaken had exposed themselves to the female inmates. Whatever, none of my business... I got the merchandise I wanted to buy ready and placed it on the counter once the young lady had left and the counter was clear. I tried to make eye contact with the man at the register and said, "hello, how are you?" but he ignored me and instead rang me up complaining that his scanner would not work properly. As I paid him, again I smiled and tried to engage him but he avoided my efforts. Okay, so why should I care right? I guess where I come from people actually try to be nice if they work in customer service, so it was weird to be totally ignored. Hopefully, "Angel" can find a way to rub some of her pleasant personality off on her coworkers.... Sincerely, Happy to be back home in Virginia
