A lot of these reviews seem unreasonable to me. The room I was in was clean and tidy and had a good Roku TV, a microwave and small fridge, and clean bathroom. The heater was really good even though it was single digits cold outside. The room rate daily and weekly was so reasonable, like as low as $280 a week. The location is quiet, because it is out of town a couple miles. That might be good if you are trying to get away from everything and be undisturbed, or inconvenient if you don’t like having to drive a short hop to get to restaurants and stores. One of the reviews here said the guy just drove by. He speculated it was run down. I disagree. The Taj Mahal it is not, but it was not dirty nor rundown, and you have no business reviewing a motel you only drove by. Come on, folks. Show some

I recently stayed overnight at the DIPLOMAT hotel....BIG MISTAKE!!! My relatives live nearby and I have stayed here in the past.....|intially (4-5 years ago) it was average. The treatment that we recieved was at best pathetic. The owner "greeted" us with a look of total disgust. She was so rude, if it would not of been a late rainy evening, we would of gone somewhere else. We asked for a non-smoking room...it stunk of cigarettes...the knobs on the air conditioner were|broke....the carpet had big black stains all over it. The 1 queen size bed's head board was broken and laying on the floor behind the head of the bed....the few towels we had were stained terribly....|the shower was so stained..we did not even use it. The toliette only flushed if you held the handle down the entire time. The

This place is clean .. just old last time remolded 1993 I had a issue with payment and had to call visa but I will give them this it is clean and I have never seen a roach . One thing beware Mexican construction crews partying on sidewalk till 11:00 pm...if you can handle that OK place for one or two nights. ....over priced should be $40.00 tops just because it's old.

We are hiking through WV and had planned to stayed in Keyser (24 miles from the trail was the closest we could find) but did not book ahead. When we arrived there were no vacancies and were told that Cumberland, Md (20 MORE miles) was the closest town with another hotel. (We do have a car at the end of the day.) It was already past 10, we'd hiked a long time and were really tired. My husband said, "We're getting a room at the first place we find..we have to come back this distance tomorrow before we start hiking." The first place?...The Diplomat Hotel, which was only 8 miles away. It was dark & we knew it was probably dated but we figured to make do. I actually thought the lobby was worse than the room. The attendant/owner wasn't very friendly & I was not comfortable using a credit c
