The first thing was I go to try and shower and the water comes out black, yes black. Then the cockroach that welcomed me was great. But the icing on the cake was the bed bugs. I was woken up by something biting me, so I pulled back the sheets and yup there were about a dozen bed bugs. I will NEVER stay here again.

The Economy Inn is located next to the Tuckaseegee River and a short walk from downtown Sylva. For that alone, this place is worth it. Yes, it shows its age, and yes you can tell they’ve done basic upgrades which make it nice, but it still is an outdated hotel. Regardless, everything worked, the water pressure is great and you are literally, a stones throw from the town where there is dining, entertainment and history. I’d definitely stay again if I was in the area.

It was a great stay, the hotel was in the perfect location for what we wanted to do. Room was very clean but the pillows bed was very wore out. The shower was nice and very hot water. Was told that the total for the 2 nights was $199.28 but when we checked in the total that we was charged was $207.25 not sure why?

This motel was an old building. Road in front was loud. No lobby. Had to ring a doorbell for service. The room was clean, but when I took a shower brown water came out of the faucet. There was no Wi-Fi. No complementary breakfast.

Love the veiw out the back window! But the room was very small. It would suit the "normal" traveler very well. And though the property was very clean, it is dated. It's a quaint roadside motel, and I was happy that we stayed there. Just wasn't ready for the limited space.

The owner's father was left in charge of the motel. He had just arrived the day before, and he hadn't really been trained, so he had to call his son who was away every time there was a problem. This meant that I had to go to the office every time I wanted to use the internet. The father was doing the best he could given the circumstances.
