Hotel Quality Inn a Bolivar

I booked this Quality Inn as we were visiting nearby Harpers Ferry. The hotel is very easy to find and very close to the NPS site. I pulled in and wasn’t sure we were at the correct hotel. There were no cars in the parking lot, and it didn’t appear to be open. The parking lot is well lit and has plenty of spaces. The front of the hotel is not inviting at all. Plants and furniture from other rooms all inside a window near the front desk gave “abandoned” hotel vibes. The entrance area needs a serious makeover. Had I not already paid, and it was a non-refundable room, just seeing the outside appearance, I likely would have left. My wife waited in the car until I checked the place out and went to our room. Based on the outside appearance and the vibes I got from random dude hanging out in the lobby, I’m glad I’m very much a 2A person. The lobby area wasn’t bad. It seemed clean but nothing award winning. Word of caution, if you have disabilities, there are no elevators, you must climb steps to the second floor. The steps were dirty, and the treads were very narrow. I’m not sure the steps are to code, but hey. Also keep this in mind if you pack heavy. It’s only one flight, but with the narrow tread, you can rest assured, you’ll probably have to man-handle your bag up/down the stairs. Our room was on the second floor and overlooking the parking lot. While the hotel appears to be doing renovations, our room was clean, but the door didn’t give me good security vibes and would likely be easy to shoulder open if someone really wanted inside. The carpet may need some updating, but generally, everything else inside the room was fine. The room was also very quiet overnight. At one point, I did hear some trucks on US-340, but nothing too noisy. Outside our room, for whatever reason, there were two fans and a pile of dirty bath towels. It appeared as if maybe they had been trying to dry the carpet or something. Not sure I would stay here again but overall, other than first impressions, the room was comfortable and worked well for the night.
