The pool and hot tubs were closed with no warning and we booked just three days ahead. Shower water stopped running in the middle of a shower. Faucet water ran only cold with a weak stream. Old technology tv. Staff was friendly.

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.

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 Room was clean but outdated & carpet old.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.

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
