Reviews for Skyline Lodge in Ghent, WV
The Lodge is the perfect place for a getaway. The room amenities were basic, had a microwave and refrigerator, small bathroom,... and two beds. The view though was worth the price being right next to the water. My fiance and I went this fall and couldn'tstop saying wow to the view. Also the location is very close to Beckley and as many state parks as you could want to hike. Thereis a restaurant downstairs and the food was pretty good. The bands were too loud to eat inside but if that's your crowd then gofor it. We did take out and sat in the lobby. The food was ready quick, ten to fifteen minutes tops. This place is definitely afive star spot and five star price with three star rooms. The staff was very friendly and took care of everything we needed andhelped inform about the local area. I would definitely stay here again. Read more
Had a pleasant 3 nights stay at this property. It's really worth to their prices. Very good smiling staff, especially Andy who... was at reception desk, greeted with full energy at the time of check-in around mid-night! Rooms, washrooms are clean, nosurprises! Read more
Absolutely LOVED Janie and our room! I wouldn't even say the room is out of date. We booked for Labor Day weekend for our... anniversary and the front desk was lovely. Sure we can't control the loud guests, and the amount of alcohol they consumed, orthat every vehicle takes up 2 spots because they drive their side by sides around and on the main roads. BUT the grille/pub"upper management" was out of control. We asked to sit on the back deck to eat our food and they came out with whom I'm assumingwas their son? And he started picking on our waitress and the others around. We thought we were going to have to step in, but itseemed like the waitress knew him and joked back. They were smoking and cursing 5 not even feet from our table; bragging aboutwho they've slept with. I understand needing to smoke outside, but they paid no mind or attention to the guests trying to eatand have a quiet meal directly next to them. Overall, they were not very respectful of people or their surroundings. The frontdesk lady, Janie was absolutely incredible. So helpful and friendly. The rooms only have blinds, no curtains; which you can seethrough with them closed. The shower was hot, and the design was simple but very cute. Bed was comfortable. We might be back butdefinitely NOT on a holiday. And we'll probably plan to eat elsewhere. Read more
Well... I get that the area is "Appalachian" and a bit red neck, however the rooms are very dated for a lodge "resort". High... points: The staff gets an A+ very helpful, accommodating and professional. Cleanliness A+ outdated but very clean. The Pub B+comfortable atmosphere, reasonably priced. The food B+ the Friend Pickles are a winner! Nicely fried and seasoned. The burgerwas meaty, seasoned well, and juicy. Great frozen fries. Shrimp-n-Grits... hum... could have had more Grits and less sauce. Theycalled them Creole. Well the shrimp were cooked well but the Trinity sauce was kinda offsetting. Tasted thrown together like awatered down Worcestershire sauce. But I have to admit that it did work in a very unpolished way. Down fall: Out of the controlof staff... the rooms are very out dated. Bed sheets did not stay over the plastic mattress cover. The over puffy mattress withlack of bed slacks... ya sit on the bed and sink to the floor. But the lack of TV service... no cable but I'm cool withstreaming!! However, the lack of bandwidth to watch a show will force me to grade my room quality as an F. This reallyfrustrated us!! Read more
Room I bit musty, but good size with lake view. Service was very good at the restaurant, but the front desk....could be more... friendly. Location maybe too close to Hwy . Sitting outside we could hear the traffic going by. The town is not much of a town.No many food options besides gas station and pizza place. Luckily the hotel restaurant serves pretty good food. The restauranthas an outdoor deck by the lake. We enjoyed having a few drinks and dinner al fresco. Overall I liked the place and would stopthere again. . Read more
We stayed for a Beard Competition that was held on site. The whole atmosphere is awesome. The lodge is older but very clean. The... staff is so friendly and personable. There is a large deck and some benches for lake viewing. a great bar and restaurant withlive music some nights. The location is absolutely beautiful. If you have the option ask for a room on the back with a lakeview. We will stay here again when we go back to hike the local state park. Read more
My husband & I stayed here for a week straight. We kept extending our stay due to the privacy, the cleanliness & price. The... staff, they are so nice & friendly. It is honestly one of the cleanest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. No smoking in this hotelbut, plenty of spots outside with buckets for butts. There is a beautiful man-made pond that from our room, we had a great view.I recommend this place, and most certainly we will be back! Read more
