I didn't go to Romney to do anything except to stay at Koolwink Motel which I read about on retroroadmap.com. My husband and I intentionally seek out motels where time stand stills and this one definitely went beyond my expectations. Except for the comfortable mattresses and bedding I walked into a room where the decor and furnishings are all the... More

What a great little motel in the mountains of West Virginia! Retro all the way; right down to the paneled walls and yellow tile bath to match the sink! Super view, very friendly staff and very clean. I'll probably never pass this way again but my stay was great!

I’ve been coming to Romney, WV for many years, actually since the early 1970’s. I’ve stayed in many Hotels/Motels in the greater area and the Koolwink Motel as definitely the best place to relax and is very consistent in their accommodations, and that’s why I rate them is the “best in the area”. Parking is just a few steps from... More

I have been coming here for years. It is one of the nicest family owned immaculate vintage 1940's style motels....kind and considerate ownership and staff....wonderful little rural community where peeople greet you and truly hope to come back again....a radio station that gives you the lastest grocery store seasonal bargains, ads for tires and oil change locations and the names...

This is our second stay at the Koolwink. We stayed last year to ride the wonderful excursion train ride that goes through the South Branch Valley in Romney. Both visits could not have been better. The people who own this motel work very hard to make sure you are comfortable. The rooms both times were immaculately clean and well-kept. The... More

I had been driving past the Koolwink and staying at the newer hotel down that street for years. That was a massive mistake! The Koolwink is everything I hoped for and more. I had wanted clean, decent rooms that I could sleep in without hearing my neighbor snore (unlike the paper thin walls at the place down the road). What... More

Spotting the Koolwink was one of those bits of serendipity that I always hope for but all too rarely encounter. I was heading west, had passed Winchester, VA, and was watching darkness set in. Realizing that there were no cities with motel clusters in my immediate future, I was even contemplating turning back to Winchester when the green Koolwink sign... More

We'd never been in this part of WV and came for an overnighter to check it out. We booked at Koolwink based on the reviews and are very glad we did! The decor is very fun and many (most? all?) of the furnishings look to be original to the motel - but are meticulously kept up. It was kitschy, retro... More

Looked at motels on internet, the place up the street may be great but it looked like I would be paying too much for a room at the county jail. Koolwink history on internet was interesting and I like to park at my door. Reserved room for three days during family reunion. I asked when I needed to call if... More
