I love the overall look of the entire property. It has a very appealing aesthetic. The room was comfortable and inviting, definitely one of the best options in the area. The only thing that was a very minor inconvenience was the TV was not a smart TV other than that, this was great.

I recently stayed at the University Inn in Boiling Springs, NC and it was a great experience. It seemed to be an older hotel but he rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and modern amenities. The staff was friendly, professional, and always willing to assist with any requests. The hotel's location was convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions, restaurants, and transportation. I also enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, which offered a good variety of fresh and tasty options. What stood out most was the excellent customer service and attention to detail that made my stay comfortable and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and relaxing stay, and I would gladly return in the future.
