I had despaired of finding a satisfactory privately run motel to stay in between LA and Washington. But my last night turned up trumps. If you need somewhere to stay in Romsey, don't hesitate. Clean, quiet, friendly and very 1960s chic.

Stayed in one of the rooms in the 4-unit building right next to Route 50 on Friday/Saturday nights while I participated in a preseason Spring photo shoot on the Potomac Eagle railroad. Greeted by a very friendly, helpful receptionist who provided recommendations for places to eat supper and breakfast. This (very retro but updated) no-smoking room was spotless, with two... More

Due to trip advisor reviews, we stayed overnight at the Koolwink hotel and we were amazed by the cleanliness of this room. We could not find a speck of dust, anywhere. Even the lightbulbs were dust free. The gentleman at the front desk was very welcoming and provided us with a room away from others to accommodate our truck and... More

We planned a trip to Romney to ride on the Potomoc Eagle train & wanted to stay near-by. Read reviews from other travelers & decided to check out this place. This is by far the cleanest motel I have EVER stayed in; cleaner than any hotels as well! It is definitely from the 50's & brings back fond memories. We... More

This was the first night stay on the start of our 5200 mile, 16 day Midwest motorcycle ride. Read the reviews here on trip advisor and plugged it into the GPS and made it the goal for the first day. Glad we did! The staff was very helpful and the room was great. It was dated, but in a great... More

Although I have no other reason to, I make a point of traveling through Romney now JUST so I can stay HERE! Despite being born in WInchester, and traveling to WV often, I hadn't passed along this strip of rt. 50 (or heard of the Koolwink) until a few years ago when driving back from Clarksburg. There it was, beautifully... More

I stayed at Koolwink last year during the annual Hampshire Heritage Festival. I loved the retro feel to the place but wasn't sure what the overall room would be like. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. In fact it was one of the cleanest motels I've ever stayed in. To top it off, the sheets and pillow cases smelled... More

My husband and I visited The Koolwink Motel in the fall of 2011 after it was recommended to us because we like vintage and retro places. Our experience was so positive that we made a point to return in August 2012 for a weekend away with friends, who now all agree - the Koolwink is a gem of a motel... More

We stayed at the Koolwink Motel as we planned a last minute stop in Romney. We found it online and were pleased to find a reasonably priced motel with such good reviews in such a small town. When we called, the proprietor told my husband it would be $35 a night. We had read $71 on the website, but my... More
