WOW!

Thanks for the post. This is big for any players in the Balt-Wash area.

Anyone ever been? Anyone going? I called the hotel. They have approx. 65 rooms total, all blocked off for the weekend, so they must have been booked full, or nearly so, previously. I wanna go, and just might!

There are some decent B&Bs in the Harpers Ferry/Bolivar/Shepherdstown area, motels up the road in Charles Town (3 mi) and Shepherdstown (10 mi) and across the Potomac in MD (3-4 mi).

I have never been but am SERIOUSLY thinking of going. I plan to stay in the Martinsburg area.

Already booked my room at the Hilltop. Even got a room with a (river)view.
