I good place to lay your head. Not much impressive about the property except the view of the mountains and it was clean. Nothing special about the breakfast, but enough to have something to eat before heading out. For people traveling through, it’s quiet and clean and worth the stay. For those wanting something special for a couple days on vacation, I would look elsewhere.

Parking was right next to my room. There is construction going on next to the hotel; however it had no impact on my stay. Very quiet. This was for a conference at Lake Junaluska. Reasonable rate, considering what it would have cost to stay at the lake. Took about 10-15 minutes to get to the lake each day.

Clean room, friendly check in staff. I didn’t partake in the continental breakfast or any other amenities. Something I wish people were mindful of is closing the door softer. Lots of people left early this morning opening and closing doors multiple times, each time letting it slam shut. Regardless if you’re staying at this hotel or another try to be mindful of the door!!
