I was terribly disappointed in my stay last October at the Town Hill Inn. Got the impression that I was inconveniencing the driver who shuttled me up the hill then was shoved in the back door so not to be seen by the “regular” guest. Very negative atmosphere towards bicyclist from the management in general. Makes you wonder how they deal with hikers? Stopped at Bill’s on the way out the next day and learned of a lodge just around the corner. Going to check it out during my 2013 trip.

It's unfortunate but I'm relieved to see that I'm not the only one disappointed in my stay at Town Hill. As outlined in my earlier post I'd stayed twice and was treated great. However, the last trip will be my last stay. As a hiker and biker I never feel "entitled" to extras. I plan on paying my way and whether I'm staying in a $30 dump or a $200 palace I always treat the room and furnishings as I would my own. I'd already told my group that they would need to clean their gear and bodies (clothing) before entering. I just never expected to be eating a gas station supper on a picnic table in cold and windy conditions after a full day of bike travel through pretty rough, muddy terrain. I understand that the property is listed "For Sell" or may be sold by now.

Your experience is the same as mine from fall 2011. I'd stayed there 2-3 times and was always treated very well but my last visit will be my last. In fact I had another reservation with another group I was guiding on the Gap/C&O and I canceled it. I'd rather ride the extra miles from Cumberland to Hancock than to spend money where I'm not wanted. My group had to get sandwiches at the gas station and sit outside in the cold and wind at appx. 7pm to eat. then after using wire brushes to clean our gear we were escourted up the back staircase to our rooms and were given one shower (there are 3 showers up stairs) for 6 people to use. I'd rather stay behind the C&O Bike Shop in Hancock in the bunkhouse. Hot outdoor showers and it's clean.

I have reservations for a night during the week of 9/9. The gentleman on the phone was very pleasant and welcoming. I hope that my experience is better than these descriptions as I'm a bit nervous now.

Tyoungs,
As I mentioned in this post and another forum. I had wonderful stays on several occasions but the last stay will be my last. I'd always treated my stay etc with great respect. I understand his concern about dirt/mud and possible lack of respect but I'd never misused the property. Good luck and hope your stay is as nice as my first couple of stays. With all of the weather we've had this summer I'm not sure what kind of shape the C&O will be in.
