Bathroom ceiling leaks

Bed was very comfortable with the pillows just ok because they were thin. The one problem we had with our stay (room 224) was that the ceiling over our shower leaked when someone showered in the room directly above ours. Also, it was impossible not to get water all over the floor when showering even with the shower curtain firmly tucked inside the tub.

Overnight in Wilkesboro

Checking in was frustrating. I stood at front desk for over five minutes and no one came. I finally called the hotel from my cell and the ringing phone brought the desk clerk to the front. Room was fine and rest of stay was pleasant.
