Apparently the 2nd floor ice machine has been out of order for several years

Room was clean and updated, but towels and washclothes were dingy and needed to be replaced.
Also, there were huge shipping containers in the parking lot at our rooms that made it difficult to park due to lack of maneuvering room.
The lady that checked me in was rude and unfriendly. Perhaps it was my fault for being so happy to enjoy my 42nd wedding anniversary at your hotel. Her bad attitude helped me to understand that because she has a job it does not mean she has to be excited about the people that are happy in her presence.
Room was clean and hotel is somewhat convenient to WCU.

Great shower, an older property that could definitely use a makeover however it was clean, was in the right location and for the price, it was well worth 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.

Staff was accommodating. Clean, beautiful landscaping
Nice views.
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.

Nice Mountain Lodging
Hotel is in a great location, and room was generally clean. There were some insects in the room that appeared. Overall a comfortable stay.
