Stay from Hell

I notified the Inn that we are expecting a 50% Refund on our Stay , as they are running it at less than that . For the following reasons , Advertising a Pool , when their License for it ran out at the end of September . Stuffy Room with no airflow , no Fan , and Temperature controlled by Staff , which led us to waking up in the middle of the night freezing , because the night Staff was inconsiderate of the Guests . Extra Blankets may have helped. Bath Towels barely big enough to dry off , Small Hand Soap Bars not Bath bars for Showering , No Shampoo , No Kleenex tissue . Dirt between Doors , as Front Screen Door did not close and no Handle to pull it close . Two Stink Bugs that had to be caught and flushed down the toilet . Could feel that the Carpeting was Dirty , as well as stains on the Bed Comforter . Poor Internet Caused T.V. to cut or freeze , or just stop working . We were told when we arrived that the Inn had been Sold , and it was very apparent to us . If you are going to run your Inn like this , with no Respect or Consideration for your Guests , you shouldn't be running it at all ! And for this reason we are expecting a 50% Refund , when we should probably be Fully Refunded , as it put a real Stain on our time in Asheville N.C.

Far superior to a typical chain hotel

There is much character to be experienced and enjoyed here, including in the rooms themselves, which have wood paneling and tiling that have not changed in decades! Hopefully it stays this way. The front desk employee mentioned that a renovation is soon to begin. I hate to think that any of the hotel's distinctive features will be compromised or lost to history. The only real downside of my stay was spotty internet connectivity, but I'm willing to chalk this up to the sort of period, time-travel element of staying here.

Be warned!! Go else where!

We arrived to the hotel and it was soooo outdated for the price and we didn’t have AC so they offered us a fan which was a joke. The toilet was unstable and rocked back and forth. It smelled very stale. We ended up leaving and renting another place.

I loved the overall feel of the motel. Even though it is dated the bed was extremely comfortable. I loved that they do fires in the pit. There are are two chairs outside each room to enjoy the scenery. Overall it's a great place to stay. I also like the fact they don't let locals stay there. Local to them is within 50 miles. I would definitely recommend this location!
