Weston, WV Getaway: Unbeatable Deals at Quality Inn!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Quality Inn in Weston, WV. And let me tell you, it’s going to be less a polished hotel review and more a… well, whatever comes out. Let's be real, sometimes you just need a place to crash, and this Quality Inn seems to get the job done.
Weston, WV Getaway: Unbeatable Deals at Quality Inn! … or, You Know, A Deal?
First things first: the "Unbeatable Deals" part? Okay, let's not get our hopes up for a free all-inclusive vacation. But hey, deals are deals, and in Weston, you're probably not expecting the Ritz anyway. (Though, if the Ritz did open a branch, I’d be there faster than you can say "champagne wishes and caviar dreams.")
Accessibility: Getting In, Getting Around – The Important Stuff
Now, I'm not in a wheelchair myself, so I can't give firsthand accounts, but they say it's got "Facilities for disabled guests." (That's the official term, anyway.) I've heard it's important, and it's on the list, so… good on ya, Quality Inn! They also mention an elevator, which is a big plus for anyone who doesn't fancy stair climbing. Remember, getting to the room is half the battle sometimes after a long drive!
Rooms: The Sanctuary (Hopefully)
- Available in all rooms: Okay, let's run through the room features as if we’re playing bingo… "Air conditioning? Check. Alarm clock? Check. Free Wi-Fi? Bingo! And free bottled water? Well, that's a nice touch."
- The Nitty Gritty: We're talkin' "extra-long beds" and "black-out curtains". Those curtains are a godsend after a rough night (or, you know, a really good book). If you haven't had a good blackout curtain experience, you haven't lived.
- That Little Extra: Having a "reading light" is important; even when you say you're going to read a book, but you know you're on the ‘gram. (Don’t judge me.) And "Satellite/cable channels" means you might find something besides… whatever local cable in Weston is offering.
- The "Meh" Factor: "Hair dryer"? Check. "Safe box"? Okay… I always forget how to use those anyway. I’d probably try to hide cash in a sock or behind the TV, like a total noob.
- The "Ugh" Factor: "Carpet". Sometimes carpets are great; sometimes, they're… well, you know. Let's hope they vacuumed recently.
Cleanliness and Safety: Keeping the Germs at Bay (Or Trying To)
Okay, this is where we really care, right? Especially post-pandemic. The good news: They're trying. They mention "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," and "Staff trained in safety protocol." "Room sanitization opt-out available"? That's an interesting one. Are they too zealous about cleanliness, that you can opt out? That's a new one for me. I'd have to ask about that. "Individually-wrapped food options" – good call. "Hand sanitizer" – also good. They've got "Smoke alarms" and "Fire extinguishers." All the basics, and that's reassuring.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food Glorious Food (Maybe?)
Here's where things get a little… hazy. It appears they have a restaurant. "Restaurants." Plural! Now I’m excited. But here’s the catch: “Breakfast [buffet]". Okay, I’m picturing the standard: lukewarm eggs, limp bacon, and questionable sausages. (I'm a harsh critic; is it obvious?) But hey, at least there's "Coffee/tea in restaurant," and a "Snack bar." That matters! If I'm heading out on a trip, I have to have snacks at the ready!
- The "What's That?" Category: "Asian breakfast"? Is that a regional thing? A "Vegetarian restaurant"? I'm intrigued, but my expectations are in check.
- The "Meh" Category: "Bottle of water". (I’m sensing a theme here.)
Services and Conveniences: Beyond the Bare Minimum
- Essential Stuff: "Daily housekeeping." Thank goodness. "Laundry service." Also, good. If I'm there for more than a day, I'll need to get a load going somewhere.
- The "Interesting, But…" Category: "Concierge." In Weston? I'm picturing somebody in a slightly too-tight uniform giving directions. "Doorman"? Seriously?
- The "Maybe Later" Category: "Dry cleaning," "Cash withdrawal." (Because we're all carrying cash, right?) "Gift/souvenir shop." (Perfect for finding something to forget you bought later!)
Things to Do: Because You're Not Just Sleeping, Right?
Here's where things get really interesting. Let's be honest: Weston, WV isn't exactly Aspen. But…
- "Fitness center." Okay, I can barely manage to get myself to a hotel with a fitness center, let alone use it. But hats off if you are that kind of person.
- "Sauna." and "Steamroom". Wow, this is a level of luxury I didn't expect.
- "Swimming pool [outdoor]". Okay, if the weather is nice. Gotta be nice.
For the Kids: Family Fun? Who Knows!
- "Babysitting service"? Now that is something you don't expect at a roadside Quality Inn.
- "Family/child friendly" (because, you know, it's probably full of families).
- "Kids meal". Ah, the classic "kid's meal," probably chicken nuggets and fries.
- “It's family friendly… for someone."
The Emotional Breakdown (Because We're Honest Here):
Listen, this isn't the Four Seasons. It's not even a really nice Holiday Inn. But… sometimes, you just need a roof over your head, a cleanish bed, and a hot shower. I'm picturing a decent getaway. If it gets me out of the house, I’m happy.
The "Quirky Observation"
The lobby often has that vaguely musty smell of stale coffee and… well, a lot of hotel lobbies, right?
The Verdict:
Look: Don't go expecting a romantic getaway. Don't expect Michelin-star dining. Do go expecting a place to sleep, a hot shower (maybe), and maybe, just maybe, a decent breakfast. And if you get a "Unbeatable Deal"? Well, that's just icing on the… mediocre cake.

Raleigh's BEST Downtown Hotel? Quality Inn's SHOCKING Secret!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, 'cause we're about to dive headfirst into… well, Weston, West Virginia. Population: apparently enough to support a Quality Inn. Let's see if my sanity can survive it. This isn't a slick, perfectly curated travel brochure; this is the raw, unfiltered reality of a trip to… Weston.
Day 1: Arrival & The Questionable Charm of I-79
1:00 PM: Arrival at "Quality Inn" (Emphasis on the Quotes)
Oh boy. The sign promised “free hot breakfast,” which, in Quality Inn parlance, usually translates to "warmed-over sad breakfast." Parking looked… generous. Always a plus when you're hauling a suitcase that's seen more of the world than you have. The lobby smelled faintly of chlorine and, I think, the ghost of used carpet. I'm already plotting my escape route.
1:30 PM: Check-In Shenanigans
The front desk clerk had a nametag that looked like it had been through a war. She was friendly, in a weary-but-professional kind of way. “Welcome to Weston!” she chirped, like she meant it. I tried to reciprocate with a smile, but mostly, my face just twitched. Got the room key… 304. "Ooh, that's upstairs," she tells me, "you can enjoy the view." I’m not going to lie, the view from room 304 better not be a pile of trash-filled dumpsters. I'm already getting a bad feeling.
2:00 PM: Room Inspection: The Good, The Bad, and the Questionably Clean.
Okay, Room 304. The view? Yup, dumpsters. And a few sad-looking bushes. Okay, I'm still mad. The bedspread? Patterned in what I can only describe as "generic motel floral." The bathroom looked… functional. The showerhead did, however, seem to be angled towards the ceiling. I can't wait to take a shower. I hope this is okay. Everything seems… fine? I think I'll be able to live here for a few days. I'm surprised, I was ready to be horrified. And hey, the AC works! Score one for Quality Inn. I can still smell the carpet but I'm okay with that, I think.
3:00 PM: Exploring the "Local Scene" (or, Finding Lunch)
Alright, time to delve into Weston. Google Maps pointed me towards a "local diner" called "The Grub Hub." The name alone filled me with both trepidation and a strange sort of eager anticipation. The drive there was… well, I-79, which is a testament to the enduring power of boredom. Finally getting there was a real win!
- (3:30 PM) THE GRUB HUB! This place… This place was a revelation. Dingy, yes. The booths are vinyl, the tables are covered in a layer of "seasoning" from years of spilled coffee and grease, and the waitress, bless her heart, was as old as the booths. But the food? The glorious, greasy, artery-clogging food? Worth every single calorie. I ordered a burger with everything plus fries, naturally. The burger was, and I am not exaggerating, the best damn burger I've had in years. The fries, a mountain of golden, salty perfection. I inhaled it. Absolutely inhaled it. Pure, unfettered joy.
The folks at the table next to me were locals, talking about the weather and the price of… gravel, I think? I pretended to listen. It was a welcome distraction from the crushing weight of existing.
5:00 PM: A "Cultural Experience" - The Local Walmart.
Yup, I gave in. Sometimes, you just need to wander the aisles of a Walmart to truly understand a town. The things I witnessed were… well, let's just say it was an experience. A gentleman in a camouflage vest debating the merits of various hunting rifles, a woman with a three-foot-tall beehive hairdo buying a family-sized bag of chips, and a child SCREAMING. It was a cultural goldmine. I may have bought a magazine that isn't really my cup of tea. No, no, I didn't.
7:00 PM: The Room, Round Two, and Existential Dread.
Back at the Quality Inn. The dimness of the room had me questioning all my decisions. I may be trapped in this motel and this life forever. I watched some TV, but nothing was on. TV is pointless. I ordered pizza and realized I forgot to tip the pizza delivery guy. I am a bad person, but also, I'm tired.
Day 2: The "Tourist Attractions" and the Glorious Mystery of Weston
9:00 AM: Breakfast (The Unsung Hero of the Quality Inn)
Alright, the "free hot breakfast." Okay, I'm not expecting gourmet. There was a waffle maker! The waffle mix tasted of something vaguely artificial, but hey, it was a waffle. And there was even some sad-looking fruit. I ate two waffles. I'm going to try to be okay with my body, I think.
10:00 AM: The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.
Okay, this is why I came to Weston. The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. A former mental institution, now a haunted attraction and a historical site. The stories are chilling. I'm terrified, but also morbidly fascinated.
- (10:30 AM) The Asylum - A Dive Into The Past: The tour itself was… intense. The place is massive. The guide, a woman with a voice that could curdle milk, told tales of patients, lobotomies, and the sheer, unadulterated suffering that took place within those walls. One particular story about a patient who just kept screaming for her mother stuck with me. I don't think I had a bad dream, but I'm sure I will tonight. The air was thick with a palpable sense of loss. The tour was… emotionally exhausting. And completely, undeniably, fascinating.
1:00 PM: Recovery Lunch: Back to The Grub Hub
I needed greasy carbs and comfort food. The Grub Hub, again. Yes, I know I'm becoming predictable, but sometimes predictability is a balm for the soul. This time, I got the fried chicken. I'm sure I'll regret it later, but right now? Bliss.
2:30 PM: The Weston State Hospital Museum.
I had the chance to visit a museum on the topic. But you know, the main attraction of Weston had been checked off. I'll let myself off the hook.
4:00 PM: Exploring the Town (or, Wandering Aimlessly)
I walked the streets. Weston really isn't much to look at. A small town with old buildings. I saw a park with a gazebo, some antique shops, and a whole lot of nothing. I bought a postcard. I'm still going to send it.
7:00 PM: Pizza and Regret (and a surprisingly good book)
I ordered pizza from a different place this time. It was… mediocre. I slumped back in my chair, feeling the creeping tendrils of Saturday evening boredom wrap around me. I picked up the book I brought… and got lost in it. For a while, at least, the world faded away.
Day 3: Departure & The Lingering Smell of Chlorine (and a bit of West Virginia)
9:00 AM: The Sad, Farewell Breakfast
One last sad waffle. The end is near.
10:00 AM: Check Out (and The Final Assessment)
The clerk at the front desk was different today. This time, no friendly chit-chat. Just a weary, "Everything alright, honey?" I mumbled something about everything being "fine" and handed in the key. Outside, the sun was shining, the air was crisp. The dumpsters still stood.
10:30 AM: The Great Escape.
I hit the road, leaving Weston in the rearview mirror. I found myself feeling… strangely wistful. It wasn't a glamorous vacation, but there was something about it. The greasy food. The spooky asylum. The quirky locals. The sheer, undeniable ordinariness of it all.
Weston wasn't perfect, but it was, in its own strange way, real.
12:00 PM: Back on I-79… and Dreaming of Grub Hub.
…And that, my friends, is the story of my trip to Weston. Would I go back? Maybe. But for now, I'm happy. And that's what really matters.
So, Weston, WV. What's the *deal* with the Quality Inn specifically? Are we talking Motel 6-level grime or… actually decent?
Alright, let's be real. Weston, WV, isn't exactly Vegas. Think… charmingly… *sleepy*. The Quality Inn? Well, it’s… a Quality Inn. You’re not going to find marble countertops or a butler. But! And this is a big BUT (and I'm a visual person, so picture a delightfully generous… well, you get the picture)… it's often where you find *the deals*. Seriously. You can score some ridiculously cheap nights, especially during the offseason. My last trip? A ridiculously low price that made my inner cheapskate practically swoon. Decent? Yeah, decent. Clean enough. Not falling-apart-at-the-seams kind of place. Just… *solid*. You know? Solid is good sometimes. Especially when your bank account is feeling…thin. I did have a moment of panic when I opened the shower head and it looked like it was about to disintegrate, but a quick screw and a prayer later, it was fine... mostly.
What’s the breakfast situation? Is it the usual sad continental breakfast?
Ah, breakfast. This is where things get… *interesting*. Okay, so yes, your expectations should be adjusted. Think… continental-ish. Cereal, some questionable pastries (I'm still not entirely sure *what* that jelly-filled thing was, but I ate it), maybe some sad sausages, and the *pièce de résistance*... a waffle maker. Now, listen. That waffle maker, despite being the focal point of the breakfast area, can be a source of great joy… or utter despair. I've seen both. I've witnessed waffle-making battles, waffle-jamming mishaps, and waffles that looked less like breakfast and more like industrial building materials. My advice? Embrace the chaos. Make a waffle. Load it up with the most suspect syrup they have. And *enjoy* the absurdity of it all. Seriously, it's the perfect microcosm of a budget getaway.
What's there to *do* in Weston, WV, besides, you know, *be* in Weston, WV? Is the Quality Inn near anything interesting?
Okay, okay, I get it. Weston isn't exactly bursting with cosmopolitan thrills. BUT! That doesn't mean it's a complete wasteland. The Quality Inn is, thankfully, pretty centrally located. You're near Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. (Fun fact: It's supposedly haunted. I didn't go, because, well, *nope*. I’m a scaredy-cat and ghosts and I don’t get along). There are some cute antique shops in town. And if you're into nature, Stonewall Jackson Lake State Park is a short drive away – supposedly beautiful, I haven't been there, but they did have pictures, so I’m just going off of that. And if you're a history buff (I'm not), there's probably something history-related around. Honestly, the *doing* part is where you have to do your own research, because I’ll be honest, I mostly went to relax and not do much. My idea of a good time includes a super comfy bed, and a few episodes of Netflix.
Okay, so the *deals*. How *good* are we talking? What’s the catch?
The deals can be *ridiculously* good. Seriously. I’m talking prices that make you question if you accidentally stumbled into some kind of alternate reality where inflation doesn’t exist. The catch? Well, it's not *always* a catch, but here's the deal: Look for off-season. Midweek is usually cheaper. And, you know, it's a Quality Inn. Don't go expecting a Ritz-Carlton experience. You might find yourself occasionally wondering about the housekeeping schedule, and if the previous guest left their toothbrush in the bathroom. But honestly, it's clean enough, and for the price? Who's complaining? If you’re after a budget escape, or even just a place to crash during a road trip, you can’t go wrong. Though, one year, I swear I saw the same stain on the carpet in the hallway for an entire month... but it was fine. It didn’t bother anyone... I’m sure.
Any tips for surviving (and enjoying!) a stay at the Quality Inn in Weston?
Oh, absolutely! Here's my survival… and *enjoyment*… guide to the Weston Quality Inn experience:
- **Lower your expectations (slightly).** This isn't luxury. Embrace the… *charm* of simplicity.
- **Bring your own snacks/drinks.** The vending machines are usually overpriced and offer the bare minimum.
- **Invest in a decent pillow.** Hotel pillows… can be a gamble.
- **Pack some earplugs.** Occasionally, the hallway chatter/air conditioning/ mysterious noises can keep you up.
- **Embrace the waffle maker.** This is non-negotiable.
- **Don't be afraid to explore (at least a little).** Weston might surprise you! Even if the biggest surprise is how early the stores close.
- **Remember the important stuff:** Is the bed clean? Is there hot water & good pressure? I am a simple person.
- **Most Importantly:** Remember that you are there for relaxation, not to win a gold star for your hotel choice.
Okay, so… would you recommend it? The Quality Inn in Weston?
You know what? For what it is, absolutely. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly escape, a place to crash on a road trip, or just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of… well, anything… the Quality Inn in Weston, WV, is a solid choice. It's not perfect. Far from it. But sometimes, that's exactly the kind of imperfect charm you need. I mean, sure, the breakfast could be better, and the showerhead *might* need some TLC… but it's clean, comfortable enough, and… *cheap*. And at the end of the day… I’d go again. In fact, I’m thinking about it. Pass me another beer, will ya?
