Sleep Inn Ellenboro Hwy 50

About The Hotel

The Sleep Inn Ellenboro Hwy 50 is a 4-star Choice Hotels property at 29 South Main Street directly off US Highway 50 in Ellenboro, Ritchie County, West Virginia. Rated 4.9 across 49 reviews with elite subratings: cleanliness 5.0, rooms 5.0, service 5.0, sleep quality 4.8, value 4.7, location 4.1 (the only mild weakness - small-town Ellenboro has little walking beyond the hotel). The property offers a CONFIRMED in-room Whirlpool Suite (the property carousel photo is captioned ‘Whirlpool Suite,’ making this one of the strongest confirmed in-room-whirlpool options in the entire West Virginia hot-tub-search set), an indoor heated mid-80s pool, an outdoor gas fire pit, infrared grills, free breakfast (which begins at 3:30am to serve oil-and-gas crews per a repeat 5-star reviewer), a fitness center, pet-friendly rooms, free parking and free WiFi. A repeat 5-star Mary R. review notes the property was ranked #1 of 300+ Sleep Inns nationwide and was ‘only 3 years old’ at the time of stay. Connie W. names staff member Misty for handicap-room hospitality. Leslie S. writes ‘I would recommend to stay here if you are in the area. There isn’t much on Rt 50 traveling between Parkersburg and Clarksburg. Very clean, very friendly staff, comfortable beds. Definitely a five star review.’ Ellenboro sits mid-state between Parkersburg (about 45 minutes west on the Ohio River) and Clarksburg (about 45 minutes east in the North-Central WV metro belt). The North Bend Rail Trail runs directly through town and the hotel is walkable to the trailhead - one of the best-positioned overnight stays anywhere on the trail’s 72-mile length. Best for North Bend Rail Trail cyclists, WV Glass Trail heritage collectors, oil-and-gas field contractors and Parkersburg-to-Clarksburg mid-Route-50 road-trippers wanting a genuinely-nice whirlpool-suite overnight.

What Guests Are Saying

“The Sleep Inn at the small town of Ellenboro popped up with a good rating. What a pleasant surprise! I see why they were rated #1 among 300+ Sleep Inn hotels. The staff is very friendly, the facility very clean (only 3 years old), the room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was very good and begins at 3:30 a.m. (crews working in gas and oil industry stay there).” — Mary R., 5 stars
