Welch, West Virginia

Count Gilu Motel
Vocational School Road
Welch, WV 24801
304-436-3041
Review sent in by Floyd Cox: My wife and I have stayed at the Count Gilu several times and have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Although it is small and hidden away, the quiet is very relaxing. One thing I really enjoyed was the babbling brook sounds of the creek just behind the motel. The rooms are clean and well furnished with better than the usual motel equipment. Whenever we return to Welch, this is the place where we want to stay,

Review sent in by Lori Maghan. We use the Count Gilu frequently, at least once a month for a week or two, for our physicians working at Welch Community Hospital. I wanted to say how great Mona and the staff are. They are always able to accommodate our doctors and squeeze them in at the last minute. They have been nothing but great and we have maintained a great relationship with them for the past four years. We will always call them to make reservations!

Bluefield, Virginia

Comfort Inn
38769 Governor G C Peery Hwy.
Bluefield, VA 24605
276-326-3688
www.ComfortInn.com
Review sent in by Charlie Myers: This motel is about nine miles south of I-77 exit 1 in West Virginia. (The exit is in West Virginia; the motel is in Virginia.) It's out in the middle of nowhere, so you'll need a car to drive at least five miles to restaurants, etc. It's a typical motel with a helpful staff and a good continental breakfast. Note: they have recently had an area-code change. The old area code was 540.
