The outside of the property was beautifully landscaped. I loved the way the lobby was decorated with Scottish decor. There was a lot of food to choose from for breakfast and the dining room was large. The hotel room was clean and comfortable.

For the area the hotel works. Definitely a good stay and the rooms are very clean. Also we usually do not eat Continental breakfast but after seeing how clean the hotel was we decided to. Food was pretty darn good if I might say so. Thanks for the good stay!

Hotel was nice and comfortable. Clean. Breakfast had hot food and tasty. Very nice and friendly staff. 1 night woke up at 1:30 am from loud music and girls laughing and talking loud. Called front desk and they took care of issue right away. Would come back again for sure.

This was our first time traveling with pets and this property was solid. We had easy access to their area out back for them to go potty. The included breakfast was as good as you’ll get for included breakfast— sausage and biscuits were solid. Very convenient to Sugar Mountain and also Beech Mountain. The rooms are accessed from the outside and that area requires you to be cautious so you don’t slip. Overall, exactly what we needed.

This property had a very comfortable and western theme to it I really enjoyed. It was the cleanest hotel I have stayed in for years! I was really impressed not only with my room but with the whole property cleanliness! The breakfast was very good too! The people were great!

Staff are very nice, but this is really just an outdated motel. Charging $250 for a single night really isn't fair.
