Review of the bar - cocktails were fancy and delicious. I recommend the beet margarita. The vibe is retro, nice surprise in Davis.

We had a fun time getting a cocktail here before dinner. Nice staff and nice patrons at the bar. Very cool and enjoyable ambiance. Oh and the drinks were great and pretty stiff :) gave 5 stars for rooms though we didn't stay the night - NA would be the more appropriate option.

Can't say enough good things about this quaint roadside inn. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and loved that they had Chromecast in all rooms. Thoughtful touches throughout that tell the management truly thought about their guests. Morning coffee was served in a French press with a smile. We loved that Josh was spinning records while he served up awesome cocktails in the bar (oh btw, all rooms include a drink!). We really enjoyed the mushroom stew with warmed French bread after a day on the slopes. (15 minute access to timberline and Canaan ski areas) Don't tell anyone about this place! We can't wait to come back!Nearby activities: Across the street from blackwater falls park, 15 minute drive to ski areasWalkability: Across the street from gas station, short walk into DavisFood & drinks: Great cocktails, superb bar foodNoteworthy details: Chromecast in all rooms, French press morning coffee, small cooler provided in room with ice available in the bar

Perfect location in the Canaan Valley resort area. The rooms are quaint, and the shining star is the Ish kitchen and bar with the cozy fireplace and full service bar. The food is an eclectic menu with -ish foods. Viet Nam-ish, Mexican-ish, etc. Have been here 4 years in a row for a friend's birthday weekend and hope to come for many more!

There is a lot to love at this exceptional and affordable motel, bar and restaurant.The service is top notch. Every interaction I had with anyone who worked there exceeded expectations. The owners have chosen great people and trained them well. I had great conversations with all of the staff and they seemed to genuinely care about my experience.The bar and restaurant has a very special mid century modern vibe. Decor is edited well in jewel tones.I only had dessert and a mocktail. Drink was refreshing and not overly sweet, carrot cake was beautiful and delicious, crème brûlée had very thick sugar crust and strong flavor.Rooms look much LARGER than on the website. They are decorated in a vintage style. We had no issues with noise. I forgot they have ice chests in place of fridges so we did struggle to keep our food and drinks cold. Don’t bring too much. Again the service, style, value made this a favorite stay.Nearby activities: Skiing. Hiking, visiting art galleries.

I was extremely impressed with management and how nice the room was especially the pitcher of water that was put out in the room for drinking.Noteworthy details: Great stop when riding motorcycles in the area.

I’ve never stayed somewhere with so much charm, character, and comfort! This place is perfect, everyone we encountered was super friendly. Rebecca was outstanding! All of her drinks were amazing! The lobby was so cozy with a fireplace. Perfect for your nightcap while staying there. The rooms were definitely “hillbilly fabulous” we will be counting the days until we can come back!

Prob my favorite place in the state. I honestly go here for the bartender, Josh. Been going here for several years and we have become close friends. I hear this from so many of the patrons. Seriously the best person in service in the region. If I was the onwer I would make him the czar-de-manager.

Daughter & I had a ski trip to Timberline this week, but got cut short due to her breaking wrist. We checked in late Tuesday the 2nd. Bartender was very friendly and took the time to check us in. Since it was dark the place looked cool pulling up with the lights and snow. It reminded me of the ski places I stayed at as a kid up in New England. The place was plain and simple, had a vibe of the 40's/50's. Room was very clean, shower water was hot and loved the pressure. Bed was the best bed I had in a motel/hotel. Like others said the heater was little noise, but the ear plugs helped that they supply.First day of skiing we had the accident and was back to the motel about 1 pm. We went into the office/bar area (Bar atmosphere is really pleasant, wish had the night to go to it) and talk to the workers in there about what happen. And to see if we could get credited our room back for the night since we were leaving to head home to get daughter's wrist fixed. They said we need to talk to the mangers and they told me about the cancellation policy. I said to them I know and read it and totally agree. Just thought I would ask to see if it could be done. So we went out to walk to our room and the you lady came out to us and said the managers are willing to credit you the night. Sorry about your daughter.Just for this reason I will be back again! Small town, small business with good people running it. The people we met there were awesome. Thank you Billy Motel for you understanding. We will be back again and will highly recommend you.

The bar and food are SO good! We had the cheese board, ramen bowl, gabagool, and beet salad -- in addition to their pepperroot margarita, and another drink called red needle.Outstanding. Great little spot with a personal feel and friendly atmosphere! Loved sitting at the bar!

The Billy Motel is an absolute gem in Davis. The interior design is tasteful and classy. Service is absolutely amazing. Bar atmosphere is really pleasant and they have a complimentary drink and coffee when you stay at the motel. Staying at the Billy really elevated our experience in Davis/Thomas. The heater was a bit loud but they do offer complimentary earplugs. Pillows were also a little on the soft side.
