The Inn at Plantation - Jane Lew, West Virginia

Michael P. (. S.

Central West Virginia's best kept secret. The rooms are really nice and extra space. The pictures don't do it justice. I have drove my this establishment all my life . I recently called and immediately I was answered with someone who could understand me . Which was very nice for a change. Even though next to the highway it is still quiet compared to other hotels or motels . Breakfast was great and it is a really nice place to stay. I normally don't recommend anywhere but if your traveling . Maybe a getaway for a few days or weekend . You have to check this place out. ***** ***** ***** ***** 😀

The Inn at Plantation’s no ritzy uptown haunt, but it ain’t some flytrap either. Clean rooms, soft beds, no bedbugs (I checked closer than a gumshoe at a poker game). For sixty smackers a night? It’s a real bang for your buck, especially with a free breakfast that won’t poison your gizzard.

Now listen here, my first two visits? Slicker than a greased weasel in a rainstorm. The dames at the desk? Class acts—friendly, sharp, and snappy like a new pair of suspenders. But my third time? That’s when the jalopy lost a wheel.

I asked the desk gent—nice enough mug—if I could shack up in Room 102. It’s my go-to: close to my flivver, easy on my bum knee and hip that pops like a champagne cork on New Year’s. Room’s empty, I can see it, but he hits me with a polite “no” and slides me the key to Room 206. Second floor. Long hallway. Stairs. You’d think I asked to borrow his mother’s pearls.

Room 206? Looked fine till I turned on the shower and got hit with a water show wilder than a gin raid. Soap and lotion? Enough to open a beauty parlor. Shampoo? As absent as a dry bar in 1925. Back to the desk I go, and the poor sap behind the counter looks more lost than a teetotaler at a speakeasy. Eventually hands me keys to Room 204.

204 had a working shower, but the shampoo bottle looked like it’d been sampled by every Tom, Dick, and jazz man in town. Desk had enough burn marks to make a cigar lounge blush. Still, the bed was cozy and the room was cleaner than a preacher’s Sunday shoes.

Breakfast was no feast at the Plaza, but it filled the tank: powdered eggs, sausage, oatmeal, yogurt. And hey, it was on the house—what’s not to like?

Avoid Room 102 though—that one’s mine. (Kidding, see? But seriously, keep your mitts off.)

All jokes aside, it's a good, clean place to stay—affordable, comfortable, and generally reliable. Just a couple hiccups this time with a busted showerhead and missing shampoo. Nothing major. I'd stay again.

A Little Roaring Rhyme to Top It Off:

At the Inn where the jazz cats would rest their heads,
You’ll find clean sheets and budget-friendly beds.
The shower might sputter, the shampoo half-spent,
But for sixty bones, you’ll feel heaven-sent.

So park your flivver, tip your fedora low,
And dodge Room 102—that’s my bungalow.
For a night on the lam or a sleep on the sly,
It ain’t the Waldorf, but it sure ain’t a dive.

Needed a place to stay while my home is finished being updated. Place is very clean and well kept. Beautiful lobby, dining area and conference room. I wish they never filled in the pool but it's still a really peaceful hotel. I love that my vehicle can sit 5 feet from my door. Plenty to eat close by. Cheap Laundromat close by. The owner is very kind and knew what he was doing when he picked his employees. Everyone here is very accommodating. Cameras near stairwells for your safety. Church across the street. They didn't charge me extra for each of my kids. Nice shaped tub with jets for relaxing. Tub and shower are one solid peice so no moldy hiding spots. Mini fridge has small freezer. Microwave. Coffee maker. Toaster in the dining hall. Free coffee all day in the lobby. Love it here

Oh also would like to say I've been here a week and there are absolutely no bed bugs. The person below we reviewed either lied, maybe the person prior to in that room had them. My room is spotless. Carpet very clean. Linens sparkling white. Beds very comfortable. Every employee is gracious. As well.. the rooms are not outdated. They look like nice rooms. Granite counter. Cherry colored furniture. Idk if people are expecting the ugly gray scale modern look. This place feels like a nice home.

Honestly you can't beat the price, but you do get what you pay for. The lady at the front desk was friendly and I felt safe in the hotel. The linens were clean, if threadbare. The rooms could do with a good deep scrubbing and maybe replacing the old bathroom doors, but the rooms were obviously cleaned after each guest so it felt more in need of an update than dirty. Easy on-off access to the Interstate. The free breakfast had extremely limited fare, even for a free breakfast.

Worst place we have ever stayed! It's absolutely filthy in the rooms and you can tell housekeeping rarely vacuums the place, we had bed bugs in our room so they moved us only to find an even bigger infestation in our new room. Jay the Indian fellow was so rude and condescending to us about our concerns. He kept cutting my husband off, told us we were being dramatic, and then up charged us. We were told we were going to pay a certain rate and then on the last 2 nights (the day after our squabble with Jay) he charged us $20 more per night than we were originally booked for. They have a sticky rat trap behind the coffee maker and juice bar in the dining room at breakfast. The only good thing about the whole place is Mark, Kelly, and Gail. They deserve more than what they are getting I'm sure. Those 3 always greet you with a smile and upbeat demeanor. They are kind, empathetic, and actually care about the customer. Do better Plantation Inn!!!

Positive: The bed was amazing Negative: Exterior is very dirty. People roaming the exterior throughout the night.

This is an older hotel, but the beds were excellent. Very soft, pillows were very soft and comfortable as well. Very clean. Very friendly desk clerk. Right off the highway. My favorite part was the bed. It was almost like my bed at home maybe even better as soft as it was. I will definitely stay here again when I come through for work.
