For what I paid ($65), this was a fine option. This is an old property with brand new owners who seem to be at the very beginning of updating it. On the plus side the staff was very friendly and the walls were freshly painted. The bed was clean and comfortable. There's wildlife all around, a restaurant across the street, and you can walk into town. That said, there are still a lot of things that need to be renovated, so be ready for that.

Room smelled like decades of old cigarettes. Not cleaned. Previous occupants towel hanging on bathrrom door, soap & shampoo containers on shower floor. Even the cord for hairdryer was filthy. I hope the sheets had been changed. Couch had a corner that looked like someone had vomited on it.

6/10 Good

The inside is much nicer than the outside. Clean, comfortable bed, clean bathroom, decent sized room, but definitely in need of some repair. The worn outdoor furniture and busted screens on the doors are not a good look. The fan in the bathroom didn’t work, but it was nice enough we could open the window. A/C was fine, and linens were clean, so all in all a good place to stay for the price.

I will caveat that I typically don’t leave reviews, esp. negative ones, but feel compelled for this one. The price was cheap; so we weren’t expecting much. As background we had stayed there once or twice before on our way back and forth from VA Beach and Michigan. Love how the decor hadn’t changed since the 50’s/60’s…. Totally dig the retro aesthetic. It was Pouring down rain when we checked in. Check in clerk was friendly enough, however, stated several times that she was new. That’s fine, we’re patient, we’re on vacation. Ask her if there’s any place to eat and she says the place across the street is closed, but they have free bag of chips and bananas. Politely say no thanks get back in the car. Wife says there’s at least 20 cars parked out front of the restaurant so let’s go check it out. Turns out to be open so we go in have a solid meal. When we get back, I went back into the clerk to ask where the ice machine was and also mentioned that the restaurant was in fact open. She then states that they intend to have full service food amenities. So it’s now obvious that she lied about the restaurant being closed. Oh, and by the way, when I got to the ice machine, it was obvious it’s been broken for at least several months based upon the dead bugs inside of it and no ice of course. She was polite, however it really ground my gears that she was out right lying; definitely once, and most likely twice.

The room was dark, damp, and dirty. When we arrived, it was like driving onto the set for a horror movie. I was so disappointed; I stayed here decades ago and it was wonderful. Do not stay at the Hancock Motel!

We were cycling the C&O canal and stayed here for a night. It's a real old-school motel. A little dated but clean, everything works, and good value for money.

The motel is conveniently located off the highway, close to many places in town and across from an excellent restaurant. The motel is dated, but has everything you need. It was quiet and clean.

Very nice little place to stay. The rooms give off a “grandma’s house” kind of vibe (the smell is there, too. Not in a bad way, not humid at all.) I slept well, the beds were cushy (maybe a bit too much for me, personally). They allow dogs ($15 fee) and have a specific potty area for them with waste bags provided. Laundry services were also available ($1.50 in quarters for washer, $1.00 in quarters for dryer). The staff was very friendly and it appeared they have coffee to buy. The bathroom does have some poor circulation, and the tub drained slowly but did drain the water. Would stay again.

Location perfect. A small ride off C&O bike trail. Storage available for bicycles and a cleaning area as well. Decor is a bit dated but water was hot and AC worked after biking all day! On-site laundry a big plus!! Great restaurant across the street.
