The Casselman Motel provides a comfortable, clean room at a great price. The room is spacious with a large bed, seating area and work space. A microwave and coffee maker are provided. Food is available a short walk to the Casselman Inn, and it is fantastic. You won’t have all the amenities of a large chain brand, but you won’t need it. The staff here is excellent. Deep Creek Lake, Finzel Swamp, Frostburg State University and Cumberland are all within a reasonable distance.

We both got a king sized room on the second floor. The room is huge with a couple of rocking chairs and a desk. One of the rooms had a corner couch. Microwave and Keurig avaliable. Decor is very old timey but not tacky with very nice quilts on the beds. Wall heating and air unit worked great. Bathrooms have a timed heater which is a very nice feature. Water pressure was amazing. Definitely a great place to stay and worth the price.

What a nice place ! Part of an Original Inn along the National Pike. Nice rooms, reasonably priced. The Inn just in front of the motel has a very nice restaurant serving homemade meals. Located in a quiet small town with all your travel needs.

I had one of the remodeled rooms which was nicely furnished and squeaky clean but with two problems. There were no plugs anywhere near the bed for my CPAP machine. None of my extension cords was long enough. I finally had to rearrange the furniture. The other problem was the internet or the lack of it. It ranged from pathetic to non-existent. Very frustrating. I did like the door to my room being next to my car. Chairs on the outside would have been nice. The price was VERY reasonable.
