I have been coming here for years. It is one of the nicest family owned immaculate vintage 1940's style motels....kind and considerate ownership and staff....wonderful little rural community where peeople greet you and truly hope to come back again....a radio station that gives you the lastest grocery store seasonal bargains, ads for tires and oil change locations and the names of the sick to pray for. Great place for breakfast, Shirleys cafe or diner. Wonderful experiences every time I droop anchor. Bride of 40 years died of ovarian cancer in 2005.....She loved the Koolwink and we have never had anything but a wonderful experience....Two things (1) Ask about the origin of the name and little winking guy in the top hat...and (2) Be sure to ask for and buy a Kool Wink coffee mug.

This is our second stay at the Koolwink. We stayed last year to ride the wonderful excursion train ride that goes through the South Branch Valley in Romney. Both visits could not have been better. The people who own this motel work very hard to make sure you are comfortable. The rooms both times were immaculately clean and well-kept. The motel has almost a "Route 66" feel to it, seems to beckon to a past time before the Motel 6 effect of carbon-copy motels. There are two facilities: one right on route 55 and the other up on a hill. We stayed at the roadside facility both times, and the road noise was not too bad, but travellers who want a totally quiet night might opt for the hilltop facility. The only request we made while there was for a box fan for some "white noise". which was quickly furnished with a long extension cord. The bed was very comfortable, and the room came with a microwave and refrigerator. The bathtub was large, and the room was welcoming. I wish I could find a place like this in my other travels to stay. Reasonable rates with first-class accomodations. Could not ask for more...

When we come home we always stay here. It is clean and friendly. We stay up on the hill they are newer rooms and a lot more peaceful and the trees are Beautiful any time of year.We stayed 11 days and the fall colors were Beautiful.We had a really nice maid Debbie. Want thank her for taking care of us while we were there.Love the Retro Style..

I had been driving past the Koolwink and staying at the newer hotel down that street for years. That was a massive mistake! The Koolwink is everything I hoped for and more. I had wanted clean, decent rooms that I could sleep in without hearing my neighbor snore (unlike the paper thin walls at the place down the road). What I got were rooms that had just about everything you'd expect in a modern hotel room (coffee maker, fridge, flat screen TV), plus decorations that were like stepping back in time. And it was not just old furniture stuck in a crappy room... the building itself looked like it was brand new (with the exception of wood paneling in part of the room). On top of this, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful when I accidentally locked something in the room.
