Sunset Inn is a great motel to stay in if you are visiting Friendsville or the Deep Creek area. The couple that owns the Motel take pride in maintaining their property. The rooms are very spacious and extremely clean. I've never seen a bathtub sparkle like that ever in a hotel. The towels were plush and fluffy. Great place to stay if you don't want to pay Deep Creek motel/hotel prices. They also have an outdoor pool.

We have stayed here for the past 7 years on the second weekends in September with extended family for a local family reunion. The rooms are always clean, and the owners seem nice enough, but we cannot figure out why they do not fix up the place. It has a lot of potential! The things we have noticed that have not changed in the 7 years we have been going there are; the coffee shop in the front of the parking lot has never been opened. For years the management would tell us it was going to open up soon, however, it had not yet opened as of last year. One of the rooms on the second floor has a small kitchen sink that, when you open the doors beneath it, has a pipe that is not connected, it is just hanging there. Good thing the water is not turned on.... Several of the rooms have moulding that has not yet been completed, and some of the rooms we know of have bathroom doors that cannot close all the way because of poor design. It is a fairly clean place, and not a bad value, but could be so much better if the owners would fix it up more. The first couple of years we stayed, the pool was open. For the last 3 years at least, they have had it closed. We are looking for a different place to stay this year, but would consider coming back if the ownership changes.

This hotel was so great we stayed another night. The "Mom & Pop" feel is only surpassed by the fact that it's actually owned by a Mom & Pop. They told us their life story, the history of the hotel, and it was an overall GREAT stay for the price!! Next time we go skiing, we're staying again!!!
