Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The room was clean - as it is each time we stay here. However, this time I noticed the towels are looking old and the white has turned to a gray (not as clean) look
The room was dirty and the drain in the shower did not drain. The bed was uncomfortable and the towels and sheets were thin. There was an empty paper bag and a note from the hotel that said to enjoy the complimentary popcorn, water, and cookies - but there wasn’t anything in the bag. When we asked the staff at the desk about it, she told us she didn’t know anything about it and then proceeded to turn around and walk away from us. You could also hear the traffic outside from our room. Would not recommend staying here.
The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was average, not really friendly but I got checked in and out with little to no problems. Not as welcoming as they should be to incoming guests. Especially in NC where most people are very friendly.
Wonderful location, clean, spacious rooms, pleasant, courteous staff, reasonable rates, plenty of parking, decent breakfast. All in all, worked perfectly for our needs.
We had a very pleasant stay. The staff were very friendly, the room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The continental breakfast each morning was enjoyable. Thank you!
This is my go to hotel when in the area, clean comfortable quiet plenty of parking

Disliked: Amenities
For a place to crash this place is fine… Clean, convenient, adequate in every way. But it is old, dated, very very basic and well outside the main part of Waynesville. So nothing particular to draw you here unless you just want a cheap night's crash.
