Will be going back and staying longer!

We had absolutely no problem staying at Elk River except our stay wasn't long enough. The young lady who registered us in at 8pm was lovely and another young lady saw us at our car, in the rain, getting our luggage and stopped to help us carry it all to our room. Our Bird Song room was wonderful and clean, we enjoyed every minute except it was just too short. We travel quite a bit from through West Virginia and Elk River will definitely be a stop along the way, making sure we stay a few days to really enjoy it.

Easy access off I-79 and a welcome change from the cookie cutter sleep cheap places that I have historically frequented. The room was 100% as shown in the photos and was a clean, quiet, comfortable place to stay. On-site bar and dinner offerings were great. My only regret was that I had to get up early and get back on the road so I missed out on what was likely a nice breakfast in their cafe. I'll be going back!

Elk River hotel and cafe

We absolutely loved staying here. It was super clean quaint and the staff was very kind. It was like stepping back in time. Our room was beautiful. Very colorful and bright. Beautiful furnishings and the grounds were amazing. Right on Elk River and very quiet. Its a little bit off the highway but well worth the drive. We ate at the restaurant and the food was delicious. We will definitely come back again.

Loved the Snow room for having a veranda to relax on and easy access to the river to contemplate the beauty of creation. Nice place for the price. Easy check-in and checkout. The hotel decor is gorgeous. Very convenient to the new Elk River Rail trailhead in Gassaway where we biked. We arrived Saturday evening and it was tricky finding a place to park so we were down the block a little ways, but after that we had no issues. The grounds are beautiful but could use some love and care (weeding) and grass removal after mowing.

Generally a cute property. We stayed in the Carriage House room. We slept well, but the bathroom tub wouldn’t drain, so it was very dirty. We had to clean the tub before we used it.

We were only at the property from late evening until early morning. We arrived after 10 and could easily navigate the property. Our space would perfect for our four adults and one preteen to sleep and have room to spread out for a bit on our roadtrip.

It was great to stay in an historic hotel and learn about the history of the property and the town. Loved the ornate beauty of the rooms and the king sized bed was comfortable. The option of breakfast in the dining room was a plus. Emily was sweet and eager to please the guests.
