We stay here at least once per month as we travel to Lake Lure (where we’re building a vacation home). The staff is always friendly, the rooms clean, the atmosphere safe and peaceful, and the food nice & warm. We highly recommend it.

Overall good stay. Rooms were clean. The walls are thin though. We heard everything in the halls and other rooms televisions/music. When flushing our toilet, every other time, the pipes would scream. Not fun when someone went to the bathroom at 5 am!

No shampoo in the shower. Body wash and two conditioners. I’m guessing one was shampoo, but should be labeled appropriately.

I wasn't sure what to expect but this was good for the area. Restaurants nearby, Sonic in the next parking lot even. It was a little pricey but everything else was motel. If I ever come back, I'll stay here again

Had a medical emergency while at hotel. Left for hospital returned to find some of my husbands belongs had been taken. Hotel staff acted strange when asked where the items were and wouldn’t acknowledge the missing items. The items were random too including 1 shoe, a 45 lb weight and a cane.
