"We have driven by The Country Inn of Berkeley Springs so many times and finally decided to stay for couple days to see what it’s all about. The hotel is very quaint. Its looks well worn but taken care of. We stayed in the Betty Lou Suite and it was very nice. The bed was super soft, the space in the suite was great. Only drawback was the bathroom. The layout was adapted to be more modern but the shower is uncomfortably small and the bowl sink is pretty much useless.
We ate at the Inn for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was decent, good price and service was very good. Kind of gives off a Cracker Barrel vibe. We had dinner on the patio (which I highly recommend). The patio space is very comfortable and service is great. Really love that they offer Chinese food options on the menu - the steamed dumplings were very good.
The Berkley Springs area is interesting. As mentioned we have traveled through Berkley Springs for many years and seen it go through many phases. We had hoped to visit shops and businesses while we were there but sadly most were closed. Other than Proof Whiskey in town there wasn’t much to see or visit. Hope that things open up again."

"We have never stayed in Berkeley Springs and needed a couple rooms for one night. The hotel was a pleasant surprise.
The rooms were spacious and clean. Staff was friendly.
The breakfast offered a variety of choices and was good.
The only issues were we unable to open the door between our adjoining rooms and there is no elevator. One flight of stairs was not a problem for my husband and I, but our mothers would have preferred an elevator.
Would likely stay here again."
