Detailed Reviews: Top Hotels in West Virginia Reviewed
1. La Quinta Inn & Suites – New River Gorge National Park
The Vibe
This is the go-to for anyone heading to New River Gorge National Park — it’s the closest full-service hotel from Summersville with a 9.0 location rating. The indoor pool gives you a post-hike recovery spot, and the free breakfast (continental plus hot buffet options) saves you a morning detour.
What You Actually Get
Rooms come with air-conditioning, work desks, and seating areas — standard but solid. The free WiFi held up during my test searches, and guests consistently mention comfortable beds. Pets are allowed (up to two) for $25 per night, which is cheaper than most chains. Free parking on-site means no surprise fees when you roll in after dark. The fitness centre is basic but usable for a quick workout before hitting the gorge.
