Rockwood Trail House — Hotel in Black Township

The place and the room were very clean. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked (the hot and cold in the shower was reversed, thought I was going to have to take a cold shower but discovered hot was cold and cold was hot: don’t know why they haven’t fixed this situation). It’s a place to sleep and get nourishment and nothing more. There was absolutely no hospitality: granted, I got there at 8:00 PM and left about 7:30 AM.

The room is smallish but has A/C and a real window that opens. This one of the best nights of sleep I had in a week on the GAP and C&O trails.
