Cumberland hotel guide. Independent hotel in Cumberland, Maryland

"My husband and I visited Rocky Gap for a weekend in August. We went to a comedy show Thursday night and enjoyed the small venue area for the comedian. The doors opened at 7 and once we sat down, we had access to a small bar in the room. No snacks or appetizers in the show room. The next day we hiked the lake loop trail. It’s 5 miles and easy to walk with mostly flat trail. Relaxing afternooon, lots of spots to sit around the lake and bring down drinks from the bar - signatures. The outside bar opens at around 2:00. The Casino was clean and did not have a heavy smoke smell. They had nooks for people who wanted to smoke. The casino staff were exceptionally nice at the craps table. It was my first time playing craps and they were so helpful and made me feel comfortable trying out the game. We didn’t get a chance to check out the golf area but plan to go back for another visit soon. The only negative is the lack of staff for the restaurants- which is just a problem everywhere right now. They were unable to seat us at the lakeside restaurant even with a lot of tables obviously empty. The lobby food selection was okay. The signatures sports bar and lakeside restaurant were the two best options for food. The room was clean and had a nice view of the pool and lake. The room did not smell like smoke. Nice place for a weekend trip! Friendly staff. Clean and safe. "

"I had a great experience here! Here is the good: Staff were super friendly and helpful! Lobby was clean, room was ready at check in, room was clean and had updated fridge, stove top, and microwave. Here is maybe where some improvements could be made: There are no cups, cooking utensils, or silverware. (Now maybe they aren’t branding as an extended stay.) but if you offer a larger fridge than a mini fridge and a stove top to cook with then one would think they might already have a few things there. There was a little sitting area across the parking lot with umbrellas and it always had a lot of cigarette butts on the ground. Tables not wiped off. Old broken bench. With a little attention to detail it could be a cute place to relax. There was just a small coffee machine in the lobby. It had cups, sugar, and creamer, but it was just kind of there. It worked and coffee was good! It just seemed a little bland compared to other Choice hotels I have stayed at. Overall, this is a good place to stay! I would stay here again. Would just spruce some things up a bit if it were me.😊"
