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.
Check in staff was grumpy on arrival, later one of the staff was friendlier and more accommodating. They tried to charge us extra to store our bikes. The room smelled of mold or mildew, the beds were worn, stained and way too soft. We tried to gain access to our bikes a little early and were met with,” 8 o’clock!, you said 8 o’clock!”, and had the door shut in my face.

Eighth Year Staying here
Adequate if you just need a place to rest your head.
We booked this motel on the recommendation of a friend. The room was spacious and comfortable with an easy chair and a sofa. No desk however there was a round table but no chair to use at the table. The bathroom was small. Light switches in the bathroom were confusing. I believe we were the only guests there that night.
I liked the uniqueness of the property.. it’s like a time capsule of the past. The office staff are rarely around and many times when I’ve tried to book it says the hotel is full … but it’s actually just not open.
Frustrating.
The room was clean except for the carpeted floor. The corners of the room had not been cleaned or vacuumed and there were dust, nail clippings and dead bugs. The heating system was very noisy and annoying. There was no free breakfast - so that needs to be changed in the advertisement. The bed was clean and comfortable. Front desk person not very friendly. I would not stay here again.
