If the motel charges you for parking while you are away on your hike, for a six dollar entrance fee you can park your vehicle at the Park Visitor Center for up to two weeks. This is a massive parking lot that is gated at night. It is about a mile north of the motel off US 340, make a left at the traffic signal. You are required to register your vehicle during regular business hours (closes at 4:00 PM) at the Visitor center.

Another nearby lodging option is the Quality Inn (formerly the Cliffside Inn ) http://www.cliffside.com/. This is also on US 340 about a half mile past the Visitor Center entrance on the left. Other lodging options are available in nearby Charles Town. The Northgate Inn (304-725-1402), the first hotel upon your arrival in Charles Town across from Wal Mart, has in the past received positive reviews from hikers.
