Holiday Inn Express Charleston-Civic Center, an IHG Hotel

When you think of the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the state West Virginia, your mind might jump to the song "Country Roads, Take Me Home" by John Denver where he raves about the Blue Ridge Mountains and it being Almost Heaven. Claimed as the tourism slogan, almost heaven hopes to delight visitors to the beauty that the state has to offer. From the foothills of the mountains, to the roaring waterfalls and rivers perfect for a water adventure, Charleston, West Virginia is a great spot to use as a home base when exploring the region. The mixture of city life with a forested backdrop adds charm, making it a great spot to check out on your next free weekend.
