Charles Town -- not to be confused with the state capital called Charleston -- is at the far eastern tip of West Virginia. In addition to shops and restaurants, the big draw in Charles Town is the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races, which is a combination horse track and casino. Many points of Civil War historical interest are in the immediate area, including the site of John Brown's raid in Harpers Ferry.
The Turf Motel & Rib Room is adjacent to the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races. Although the hotel is within walking distance of the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races, it also offers a shuttle service to the casino on weekends. Another feature is its fine-dining restaurant called the Rib Room that specializes in prime rib, seafood, steaks and various specials. After dinner, guests can unwind in the Turf Lounge, which has a daily happy hour, plasma TVs and live entertainment. Amenities in the motel include rooms that come with Jacuzzi tubs, free wireless Internet access, coffee and coffee makers, irons, ironing boards, refrigerators, microwaves and hair dryers. A free breakfast is served each morning in the lobby. Both smoking and non-smoking rooms are available.
