An all around nice property in a very convenient location for a transient. The hotel is within a few minutes from I-70 and is surrounded by every possible shopping and restaurant choice one might need during a trip. Walmart is within walking distance while a whole host of shops, stores, and restaurants are within a few minutes of driving distance. The hotel itself is your typical well-maintained Hampton Inn with the usual breakfast fare. I don't know why one would want to go to Wheeling WV, but if one has to go there, then this Hampton Inn is where one should stay.

“👍 Enjoyed our stay and would come back”

Set up on a high hill overlooking the town area. Check in and out very efficient. Lots of restaurants near the hotel. Room was as requested and clean. Had refrigerator and microwave but no safe. Internet was on and off unreliable. Breakfast was as expected standard basic pastry etc.

“Okay but needs some attention.”

When I stayed here the exterior was being painted and all the windows had been covered with paper. I asked for a room that wasn't papered over and was told ALL the windows were covered.

When I stayed here the exterior was being painted and all the windows had been covered with paper. I asked for a room that wasn't papered over and was told ALL the windows were covered. I eventually realized the room also had no air conditioning or heat. I checked in so late I put up with it. The next day they moved me to another room where - surprise - no paper on the windows and the AC was working. Turned out the painters had papered over all the air vents for the AC/Heat units and were having to undo their mistake. So - not the hotel's fault technically, I just happened to catch them those days. The desk staff was mostly pleasant. I don't require shining faces at the desk so if it doesn't happen I don't notice. The rooms, however, need renovation. While spacious, they feel a little old fashioned. The lighting is a bit dim. They're probably as clean as they can be but they're old enough that they'll never sparkle again. But everything worked - the fridge, the microwave. Even the shower drained properly. So - no startling complaints. Outside there was so much heavy equipment (for the painters) that half the parking spaces in front were roped off. Again, not a permanent situation, but not a nice surprise. I looked at the breakfast buffet and it was minimal: scrambled eggs, sausage waffle maker. That's pretty much it. There's a Bob Evans just down the hill and I went there. The immediate area is covered with at least a dozen very good franchise restaurants. Longhorn, Chipotle, Olive Garden, etc. There's even a Cold Stone Creamery. So there's lots of eating choices. Also stores like Koh's, Walmart, Books a Million, TJ Max, 14-screen theater, a HUGE Cabelas... You're not isolated here. But the hotel itself was just OK. I stay at Hampton Inns fairly often and rely on a level of quality that this place didn't quite hit. But if all you need is a night of good sleep, this does fine.
