Eclectic building built in the 70’s. Lots of retro knotty pine paneling, wall of mirrors and real keys. Price was reasonable, no loud guest. Would stay there again

Jerry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The place was lovely and every member of the staff was processional and helpful. I arrived late and the keys were left inside the box. The security guy came out right away when I called. The only problem was the noise from the upper floor Thank you for such a pleasant stay.

Mary Lou, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a very cute and quite nice stay. There are a lot of stairs if you don’t have great mobility that may be a consideration.
Tyler & Stephanie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property was dated, but that added to the charm! Very cozy, mountain feel with clean rooms and very clean indoor pool and hot tub. Also had a lot of things to do in the lodge (pool table, air hockey, foosball, video games). We'll definitely return when we're in the area!
Tina, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent value not luxurious but suited our needs.could hear people walking around above us but otherwise comfortable and clean
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Employees friendly and helpful. Our unit had a small but complete kitchen. The indoor pool and hot tub a definite plus. I'll go back.
Patterson, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall I'm glad we picked this hotel. The staff at the hotel were super nice! The floor in our room was a bit squeaky, but we barely heard anything from the floor above us. The pool was a very comfortable temperature and the sauna felt good. They had a heavy snow early on the day we checked in, so we were glad to have a lower level to park in!
Sophia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is good for Boone or Banner Elk. Room was clean but outdated & carpet old. More hooks or rack in the bathroom would be helpful. Also bring your own coffee, none in the room. If your near the main entrance it's noisy. And the hairdryer didn't work properly.
Brenda, 3-night trip
