Don’t do it

When I arrived at 3:00 my room wasn’t ready and was told wouldn’t be for another hour. The place was a mess, run down, old. It actually looked like the motel from a horror film. Everyone was walking around smoking even though it said it was smoke free. In short I couldn’t stay there one hour let alone all night.

Great value for your money.

Beautiful location, quiet, well-kept, and super-friendly staff. My son and I stayed here on an overnight trip to visit WCU as a potential college destination. It was a football weekend so we booked here instead of in Silva where we usually stay when we visited with his sister due to the steep rate hikes. We were not disappointed.

Clean Place. Unfriendly staff

We enjoyed our stay here as far as the convenience and the Mountain View. However the staff was very unfriendly and unprofessional. Every time I asked for towels or wash cloths I was questioned on how many was in my room and they acted as if they didn’t want to help me. If you stay there you will want to avoid a lady named Angie. She is very rude and needs to be disciplined!
