THE WELLS INN IS A LUXURIOUS, QUAINT HISTORIC
HOTEL NEAR THE OHIO RIVER WITH ALL MODERN
AMENITIES. THIS LANDMARK HOTEL IS MORE THAN A
CENTURY OLD AND HAS BEEN RENOVATED TO INCLUDE ALL
AMENITIES INCLUDING WIRELESS HIGH SPEED INTERNET.
EACH OF ITS 32 ROOMS ARE UNIQUELY FURNISHED TO
RECREATE THE VICTORIAN ERA. THE MODERN HEATED
POOL AND FITNESS CENTRE IS PERFECT TO SPEND A
RELAXING EVENING. THE OLDEST WORKING FERRY ON THE
OHIO RIVER IS JUST A BLOCK AWAY. COME IN AND
ENJOY OUR LITTLE TOWN BY THE OHIO RIVER. EPHRAIM
WELLS, GRANDSON OF SISTERSVILLE FOUNDER CHARLES
WELLS, ESTABLISHED THE HOTEL WELLS IN 1894
SHORTLY AFTER THE DISCOVERY OF OIL IN THIS AREA.
MANY HOTELS AND BOARDINGHOUSES WERE AVAILABLE FOR
THE ROUST-ABOUTS, OILMEN AND FORTUNE SEEKERS, WHO
DESCENDED UPON SISTERSVILLE DURING THE TURN OF
THE CENTURY OIL BOOM. HOWEVER, FEW FACILITIES
WERE AVAILABLE FOR THE OIL BARONS AND GENTEEL
TRAVELERS AND RESIDENTS OF THE AREA. WELLS BUILT
THIS HOTEL TO SERVE THIS CLIENTELE. THE
FOUNDATION WAS LAID IN APRIL OF 1894 AND THE
HOTEL OPENED ITS DOORS TO THE PUBLIC ON JANUARY
15, 1895. THE *SISTERSVILLE DAILY REVIEW* THE
LEADING NEWSPAPER OF THE AREA NOTED, *THE BANQUET
AND BALL WHICH CELEBRATED THE HOTEL OPENING WAS
ONE OF THE NOTABLE EVENTS OF THE CENTURY.*
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, STATESMEN, BUSINESS PEOPLE,
AND PROFESSIONALS FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD HAVE
ENJOYED THE COMFORTS AND GRACIOUS ELEGANCE OF THE
HOTEL WELLS, LATER KNOWN AS THE WELLS INN. IT
BECAME A FAVORITE GATHERING PLACE FOR RESIDENTS
AS WELL AS VISITORS TO THE AREA. IT BECAME, WE
BELIEVE, A SPECIAL PLACE. THE GRAND OLD GAL STILL
LOOKS GOOD. A RESTORATION INVESTMENT OF OVER ONE
MILLION DOLLARS HAS ALLOWED THE HOTEL TO ENHANCE
ITS VISITOR SERVICES TO INCLUDE A RESTAURANT, AN
INDOOR POOL AND JACUZZI, AN EXERCISE AND FITNESS
AREA, AND A PUB. VISITORS TO THE WELLS INN CAN
MAKE USE OF CONFERENCE FACILITIES BOTH AT THE
HOTEL AND ACROSS THE STREET AT THE GASLIGHT
THEATER AND CONFERENCE CENTER. GOLF PRIVILEGES
ARE ALSO AVAILA |
