Not a clean place to stay

The room was filthy. A tray from the refrigerator was on the floor. A toilet paper roll was stuffed between the bed and nightstand. The toilet had old urine on the underside of the seat. The drain in the shower would not drain well. When you used the sink the water would back up into the shower along with specks of rust from the pipes

Would not recommend!

No one was available for check in. When I called the number for service, they were at Chic-Fil-A and would be there when they were done. Room smelled like cigarette smoke and dirty feet. Was told, it just smells like that, they can't get it clean. Carpet was stained and had cigarette burns. Microwave was dirty, there were dead/frozen ants in the freezer, the shelf for the refrigerator was on the floor, didn't dare use the shower.

Stay away!!!

We booked based on the good reviews but can't believe we stayed at the same motel as the reviewers did!. First, I have to say, that we were told that the motel was changing hands and the fellow who checked us in said he had just been cleaning carpets. I believe we were the ONLY guests the one night in Sept. 2022 that we stayed, and it is possible that the hotel was not accepting guests and our booking should not have been accepted; there was a lit No Vacancy sign in the window. When we opened the door to our room, we were greeted with a strong smell of wet wool but the carpet did not look at all clean. The shower looked like a bucket of dirty water had been emptied in it: visible hair, dirt and who only knows what else. There was no window to open for fresh air. The only window looked out on an enclosed glassed-in corridor so there was light, but no privacy. The sheets and towels appeared clean enough, but the fact the towels were navy blue made me wonder if they were hiding dirt. We have been travelling quite a bit for over 6 years and this may have been the worst place we have ever stayed. The only good thing about it was the price, but I would never stay there again even for free.

Low price is not always the best option.

The manager of the motel was extremely nice. Unfortunately the room was not clean. They could have done a better job cleaning it in between guests. The first warning sign was the strong smell of food that someone cooked in the room prior to me checking in. Also there was hair in the sink and in the shower. Lots of stains all over the furniture and carpeting. Bathroom floor had a floor mat that was dirty as well. All and all it was pretty gross. The bed and bed sheets were clean though.

Very close to everything!! There’s a hometown freeze across the street for some excellent food and treats. The stay was great. The bathroom was a little small but it had good water pressure and hot water. The bed was comfortable and it was nice and quiet and we felt safe at night.

Quiet, safe, affordable, and well maintained older style motel. Room access inside a weather proof corridor, especially nice during inclement and cold/snowy weather. Near several good dining options w/n walking distance as well as a bar/grill located on the property that opens in the late afternoon/early evening. Have stayed here multiple times when passing through the area. Price is best that I've found of all other lodging options in the area.

Overall ok. Stayed for a night. Bed was not comfortable at all; side springs were very weak on one side of the bed and couldn’t hold 145 pounds - felt like you’d fall while sleeping. Mattress needs to change. Receptionist was courteous.

Low-end roadside motel

I booked this hotel based on the glowing reviews and 8.8/10 rating. While this facility has its merits, it is no where in the ballpark of most 8+ rated facilities. My family was not at ease here, and I regretted booking it. On the positive side, everyone did sleep soundly in the comfortable beds, with clean linens and clean air conditioning (unlike many budget hotels whose AC has a slight hint of mildew, this air was very clean). Room was quiet. Despite these positives, the place has a such a run-down vibe that I would rate it overall 4/10.

no frills, but comfortable and inexpensive

This is a simple and inexpensive motel. Great for a one night stay while skiing nearby. It did not have some amenities that more expensive booking have, like a coffee maker, Keurig or otherwise or packaged plastic cups, but it was fine. I really like that they had soft absorbent towels, seemed very new.

My destination was the Canaan Valley in wild, wonderful West Virginia. Instead of sleeping in a sub-freezing campground, I opted for a night at Charlie’s. Nothing fancy. A warm, comfy room with TV, fridge, desk and bed. I had no idea Frostburg was such an interesting town. I might return just to cycle and hike the historic trails in the Frostburg-area. Charlie’s was just what I needed, Thank you!

Charlie is very friendly and made us as well as our big dog welcome at his motel. Our room, though small, was neat and clean with comfortable, new mattresses. The bathroom had a new shower stall and was spotlessly clean too. There are lots of restaurants close by. We would stay again.

A Treasure of a find!

This place is AMAZING! It's an older facility but man it's is really cool. It's concrete walls are the thickest I've ever stayed in: making it the quietest place I've ever stayed. The decor is decades old but kept us nicely! You should never remodel this motel - seems like I was in 1950 (but with a big screen, upgraded shower and ice-cold AC)

After a long day of traveling with Airport delays. I finally arrived at the Motel. The sign on the office door said \"After hour check ins. Please go to the bar\" So I proceeded to the bar, mear feet away. The lovely young lady behind the bar had my paperwork and keys, she was expecting me. Being it was after 1am and was in a bar, I stayed and had a couple of drinks.
I would recommend this Motel to any who asked.

NOT fabulous!

can’t believe this hotel is rated “fabulous, 8.6”. It is old and rundown, black mold in the shower, rust and rot on the floor around the toilet, afraid to touch the shower knobs because they looked like black mold, afraid to touch the door knob on the front door into the hotel because the whole door was so filthy dirty, no coffee anywhere in hotel.

Property is fine and owner is very pleasant, however, when we showed up to check-in, there was no one in the office, it was locked and we waited hour and a half to get room. We ended up contacting Expedia who got ahold of owner and we got our room. Again, he was very pleasant, however, there is no other way to check in.

Would happily stay here again

The internet steered me right on this one. I was traveling for a class field trip, and drove to the area the night before. All I needed was a decent, inexpensive place to sleep, and Charlie's Motel fit the bill. The room is smallish, but not cramped at all. Everything was clean. There's also a small refrigerator/freezer unit in the room, and had I realized that I would've made better use of it. I came in late, so went over to the bar to check in, and everyone there was friendly. The motel is on the \"main drag\" and is walkable to restaurants and coffeehouses. The only thing I didn't care for was the scent of cleaning solution that was in the room and on the sheets, but that was a minor concern. (I guess some people like that because they think it smells \"clean\" but to me it has a sickly-sweet chemical scent.) The next morning, John at the front desk was friendly and helpful as could be. This is how small businesses should be run - especially in the hospitality industry!
