Oglebay Wilson Lodge — Hotel in Martins Ferry

The "west wing preferred king" was a huge disappointment, along with a lot of other issues with this old place. First, the room is just old and run down. Pictures speak a thousand words. There were also stains on the carpet. Our room was only cleaned twice in the four days we were there. So for 2 if our four days no one even knocked on the door. The room description online says the room had a an advanced sleep system and a wet bar, it did not have either. It had an old pillow top mattress. Since I'm disabled I was really looking forward to an advanced sleep system. They had paving going on right outside my door for most of the morning and afternoons I was there. The LOUD back up beeps started at 7:30 am the first morning I woke up..

For example, I was in the 3rd floor. A few feet away from my room however, this became the 4th floor. Going to the first floor brought got out a quarter mile from the lobby. The rooms do not have USB ports so bring a wall brick. The lobby staff was VERY accommodating if this however and saved me with a loaner brick. No dirty clothes bags in the b room. I recommend using the ice bucket bag. If you're there for a multi-day conference, do not leave materials in the conference room. Ours were disposed of never to be seen again. Otherwise, very friendly staff, reasonably clean, comfortable, well...

We stayed here for a work outing and used lodging rooms and event space. It was cool to feel remote, though you weren't too far away from outside amenities. The rooms were okay, a little dated, but functional. The event space met all of our needs, and having the light show to go to in the evening was a fun addition. If you're looking for a little place to get away, I would recommend it as the scenery and the outdoor amenities during the summertime could keep you busy for a...
