This is a rather old hotel with wood paneling... but very clean and well maintained. The showers were awesome, high volume, great pressure and hot.... great after a long day!

Limited accommodations for this area. Outdated is putting it mildly. Worn out bed, furniture, fixtures, flooring, etc. Depressing room and staff. Would not recommend.

Basic ski motel with one problem
Their lobby stays open to 3am, so that was nice. I was a little put off by the person in front of me being a walk-in and getting a rate $12 less than mine, which I booked through hotels.com. The rate was good, though, so not too upset. We checked in very late on Friday night, then went to Snowshoe the next morning (~40 mins on snowy roads), then on Saturday evening after skiing, went to take a shower and there was no hot water. So I called the front desk and they explained that on busy weekends (this was a holiday weekend) they sometimes run out in the evening, with everyone coming back from skiing. Problem was, the next morning, I took a nice hot shower, but the water went from warm to cold when my son went. I have never stayed at a motel/hotel that ran out of hot water. This was definitely a mark against them. Otherwise, ask for a room on the bottom floor if you're in the "other" building. The walk can be far from car to 2nd story door. Rooms were very rustic, seemed clean, but with low lighting, I'm hoping :-). Everything worked and beds were comfortable, outlet right below the night stand between beds. Heating unit was pretty smooth & quiet, but did make some slight noises. Not terrible, but not perfect. They also had ski racks in the room, so that was nice. ... Easy to find, as well, and closer to Snowshoe than Marlinton. ... would have probably given them a 4 if not for the lack of hot water. It's a basic, no frills, not modern motel. Repeat? Maybe

Stayed at this property for 5 weekends this winter. It was the best price in the area. You get what you pay for. I would say it was fancy camping. Over those 5 weekends of 2-3 night stays I was able to take two hot showers, the rest of the time the water was cold. One morning the car outside my door was idling while people warmed it up and all the exhaust got trapped in the room (through the door or maybe the air conditioner?) - we breathed in fumes for hours because no air circulation (the heater/airconditioner is attached to that outside wall by the cars). You have to travel to the office to use the microwave to heat up food or water. There is no maid service, even if you stay 3 nights. It took a few stays to perfect the heater to not be too hot, definitely too cold if it's turned off, there is no auto thermostat. The front desk staff are super sweet. Bring your own food if you are gluten-free or vegetarian as the bar has fried bar food only. If people cough, walk, open and close doors, have a dog that barks, or flush a toilet, you can hear it. Most annoying at 3 am when people are coming from the bar on the property. We started bringing our own blankets and this helped us sleep better. Also, the coffee makers are so small that it takes over 15 minutes to fill a small thermos full of hot water.

The room smelled fresh & was larger than we expected. For an older facility we were pleasantly surprised at Howell everything was maintained. We’d recommend to our friends to stay here:

the motel is old and definitely showing it's age. It was clean enough and the lady at the front desk was friendly. The beds and the pillows were too hard for me. I guess it was ok for one night only

I visited this property in February. So I cannot comment on the pool. The property was on the older side but it was clean. Beds were ok enough that I slept pretty good. Bathroom was fairly nice. Not brand new, but good. There was a mini fridge in the room. Wish there was a microwave, but there was a microwave in the main office area. The price was really good and the drive to Snowshoe was only 40 minutes. Downtown Marlinton is about 5 or so minutes down the road. An IGA grocery store, DQ, and a few restaurants made some good options for food in Marlinton. I didn't try the restaurant at the Inn. All of that made for a great decision to stay at Marlinton Motor Inn instead of the much more expensive places close to the ski resort.

Decent stopping over place.
This is a reasonable motel but the rooms and facilities are dated. The heat takes a while to heat the room. Rates are very reasonable.

My room was so cold that I had to ask for another one partly because the heater didn’t work. The second room was almost that cold but the heater worked a little bit better. I had to sleep in longjohns.

The room was not clean, bedsheets had not been changed, when I pulled back the top covers I found multiple stray hairs and dried blood in one of the pillows. I called the front desk and they said they would send someone over to change them. I went to the hotel bar to kill time while they came to change out the sheets, they had good drinks but the food was pretty terrible, when I got back to the room I found they hadn’t changed the sheets but they had piled new sheets in a heap on the corner of the bed. They offered to move me to the one available room but I didn’t want to risk it being any worse so I just brought my sleeping bag in and slept on top of the covers. I would rather camp out in the cold than stay here again.

I waited for over 30 minutes to check out and still no one was there. I had to leave the key at the office entrance door. I took photos to prove it was after 7:30 and the sign said it would be open from 7:00 an to 11pm.

Great stay
Safe, clean place to stay. We felt comfortable and the staff was very friendly. Microwaves are in the office, that was a tad bit inconvenient but it gave us a chance to chit chat with the staff. We had a great time and would stay again if we are in the area again.

It was good for last minute, there was a little marijuana shake next to the Bible in the cabinet, and was missing the heat lamp in the bathroom, but overall not bad if you just want to stay a night.
