This was a nice, clean place to stay. Loved how convenient it was to everything. We only stayed a night. Unfortunately it was very loud starting at 5am. From people being loud to garbage being collected, all before 6am. But thankfully everything else was very good, including it being clean and the breakfast offered was very nice. I do recommend trying them as my experience may have been just a fluke.

My daughter and I stayed here in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene after being trapped in Banner Elk. Despite having no electricity, water, cell service, phone or internet the management, staff and everyone else there all came together as a community and worked together to do everything possible for each other and everyone there and to keep everyone's spirits high Despite all the tragedy and destruction. We will forever remember the smiling faces, kindness and support offered by the wonderful people here. May God bless you and yours.

When we pulled up I was a little nervous, especially when the rooms were accessed from outside much like old school Motels but when I opened the door to the room I was amazed. The room was very clean and beautiful! Very spacious and I actually loved the easy access to the parking lot etc. And our room was right across from the doors to the main lobby. Breakfast (Saturday) could be a little better but that’s the only complaint! Would recommend.
