It was a very nice place kind staff. Unfortunately is asked to get my room serviced after putting up the door hanger asking to get my room serviced and it never was. I was there for 4 nights. Views were nice and everyone was kind. It was a bit rustic for my taste.

Keep in mind when you book this hotel ,that it is historic. There is a museum in the basement and remnants of the past all over the hotel. Due to limited staffing, there are no people at the front desk after 8pm on some nights. The room was decorated in a victorian style and was clean. This hotel doesn't have a restaurant any longer or ice machines,fridges,microwaves . It's an old hotel. The price was reasonable and I enjoyed my stay. I liked the nostalgia.

Okay place to stay.

Really neat place with good potential, some areas of the hotel are old and need some refinishing work and carpet. Room lacked modern amenities such as a fridge, not great for someone who has medicine that has to stay cool.

It is a very unique hotel in Frostburg, but there is no staff, or should I say 1 person on staff. The very nice restaurant next door has recently closed, and that is a poor sign for this establishment.

Has to have fake reviews..

I don’t even know where to begin.. the ceiling was literally falling, mold, filthy carpets, there is people living in this building.. as an apartment building.. we were given a room on the second floor and that was the only “hotel” room on that floor. Wires hanging from the ceiling in hallway roof leak.. there is no restaurant no bar, no winery.. this is false advertisement. The owner is aware and doesn’t care.
Wires showing from light..
Mold growing in the basement of the building..
Holes punched in the walls

A Little Piece of History

Great place to stay. The hotel has such an interesting history. It has an historic look and feel, but not run down at all. There's even a fun little "museum" in the basement level. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent location too. It's surrounded by shops and places to eat.

My room was clean and updated, the bed was comfortable and there were plenty of towels. Water pressure was great. I did not encounter any hotel staff as I checked in after 4 pm and left before 10 am which is when the desk is staffed. Communication before my stay with staff was good and clear.

An unpretentious hotel in a historic building, basic but with a good bed and super clean. Frostburg and its surrounding area is beautiful and we had a good stay here visiting family. You can bring your dog since the hotel is pet friendly with no pet fee! Unfortunately they recently closed the restaurant but there are plenty of other options close to the hotel.

Great location in downtown Frostburg

We had a great stay at Hotel Gunter. The staff were very helpful. We loved all the historic details, including the basement jail! The stairway lobby is a very grand place for photos. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. The location was perfect for walking around town and finding restaurants. We also loved visiting the charming Main Street Books next door.

This was unlike other hotels in that it felt homey. The hotel was built in 1897 and was definitely quirky but also completely charming and unique. If we come back to Frostburg we would 100% stay here again every time!

Vintage hotel with Victorian charm and beautiful interior woodwork. Showing a bit of its age, but clean and quiet. Very walkable area. No USB charging. Window A/C. Room was a decent size, bed/mattress was very comfortable. Good water pressure/shower head.
