The Wills is best if you want a small downtown hotel with straightforward room types and boutique scale.

Dining & drinks: variety vs simplicity

Rocky Gap Casino & Resort – Dining & drinks

Rocky Gap provides multiple on-site dining venues from upscale to casual and bars across the property.

  • Lakeside Grille is the signature steak and seafood restaurant with lake views and a curated wine list.
  • Casual options include Signatures Bar & Grill, Lobby Lounge & Cafe, On The Rocks (casino bar) and Terrace Bar.
  • Players Club members may get dining discounts; breakfast is available for a surcharge.

Rocky Gap is the pick if you want on-site variety and venues open late around the casino.

The Wills Hotel – Dining & drinks

The Wills offers a single on-site restaurant and a bar/lounge for guests and nearby downtown dining is the draw.

  • Cooked-to-order breakfasts are available (weekday and weekend hours listed) for a fee.
  • One restaurant and one bar/lounge on property; most dining options are within walking distance in downtown.
  • Coffee/tea in common areas and a focus on local dining rather than multiple hotel venues.

The Wills works if you plan to eat out in downtown Cumberland and want a simple on-site dining option.

Pools, beach & signature amenity

Rocky Gap Casino & Resort – Pools, beach & signature amenity

Rocky Gap’s headline amenities are its pools and its proximity to Lake Habeeb beach.

  • Indoor pool, seasonal outdoor pool and a hot tub are available; pool hours typically 7:00 AM–11:00 PM.
  • Lake Habeeb beach (white sand, seasonal lifeguards) is a very short walk from the resort; beach access may be seasonal.
  • Water-sport rentals and guided kayaking/stand-up paddleboarding are offered.

Rocky Gap is for travelers prioritizing swimming, beach time and lakeside water activities.

The Wills Hotel – Pools, beach & signature amenity

The Wills Hotel listing does not publish on-site pool or beach facilities.

  • The supplier listing highlights downtown location and nearby outdoor activities but does not list a pool.
  • Guests use downtown Cumberland attractions and local trails rather than resort-style water amenities.
  • For swimming or beach access, consider Rocky Gap or other area public beaches.

The Wills is not positioned as a pool/beach property.

Wellness & nightlife

Rocky Gap combines a full-service spa with casino nightlife and bars.

  • The Spa at Rocky Gap offers massages, facials, waxing and manicure/pedicure services; spa hours are listed daily.
  • Casino floor and On The Rocks bar operate late; casino access requires guests to be 21+.
  • Fitness center access is included with the resort fee.

The Wills Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

The Wills focuses on downtown evenings — bars and restaurants in walking distance — but does not list an on-site spa.

  • On-site bar/lounge provides a place to drink; downtown Cumberland offers evening dining and bars a short walk away.
  • Listing highlights bicycle storage and nearby mountain biking/hiking rather than spa services.
  • 24-hour front desk and elevator make arrivals and late returns straightforward.

The Wills is better for low-key evenings exploring downtown rather than spa-and-casino nightlife.
