Howard's Creek Inn

The room was very clean and comfortable. It is a great location.

The location of the Inn is really convenient, only a couple of minutes driving to the Greenbrier. The Inn is managed by the proprietors of the nearby restaurant, which was a convenient dinner option. The decor is really nice, and everything was incredibly comfortable.

The check in process was a little slow, since the people that checked me in were also working in the restaurant. I don't fault them: it's so much work on their shoulders!!

The place was very clean and nice except they left the music playing all night at the outdoor part of the restaurant, which made it hard to sleep. The bed was as hard as a rock. Parking was not great but they were friendly and it was clean.

Cute & clean. Friendly staff

the suite was very comfortable and fun to occupy. Five windows (which open to fresh air !!) three rooms. Good views from all the windows, which faced north and south. Very good kitchen with fridge and microwave. The town has 2800 people and the people in the town are old-fashioned and friendly -- people say 'hi' in a way that is not used in big cities. The town is not wealthy and there are signs of strain - as everywhere in this country - but there are also signs of the town 'coming back' and I noticed a very hip bicycle shop. the staff at the Inn was very helpful and so were the food-servers at the restaurant on the first floor of the inn. A VERY GOOD local food spot is 'Highway 60 Restaurant" a block to the west of the Inn - famous hamburgers and fries. Interesting antique shop across the street. Very good TV with many stations. I visited the luxury 'Greenbrier' resort - one of the photos here is their dining area. - The INN allowed me to get into the sweet just after noon - the train arrives just before noon. The train is the 'Cardinal' and runs three times a week going east, three times a week going west. so it passes through the town on six days.

train departs at 5:30 p.m. - it made for a long day of waiting after I checked out of the hotel at 11;00. You have to talk a long way to buy groceries. By the way, there are no longer any 'sulfur springs' operating in the town. I was told a new center for that kind of bath - not to everyone's liking, the odor is like rotten eggs - I was told that Clifton Forge, the train's next stop (in Virginia, other side of mountains, water flowing to the James River) has those kinds of baths.

I had difficulty with the first room and once pointed out to staff they worked diligently and found me a different room. Both clean and nice no complaints.

You checked in through the restaurant. At the time the restaurant was very busy so you had to wait awhile.

We liked the proximity to things
