"This hotel reminded me of a mom and pop hotel. The staff was super friendly. A nice younger guy checked us in. He was really friendly. There is a restaurant on the property and they have a small bar. The waitress and the restaurant manager were both very nice. We only had appetizers and one drink each, but it was very good. The room looked exactly like it did in the pictures. It was very clean and the bathroom was spacious. The carpet had a couple of little stains, almost like somebody had dripped coffee but nothing major. The air conditioning was a window unit, which was fine, but I would have liked to have had a film on the windows so you couldn’t see in. When you closed the curtain all the way you didn’t fill the air as well. The room still stayed cool. The bad was very comfortable.The town has a couple of other little restaurants. It’s about 20 min from Banner Elk and 40 from Blowing Rock. The town definitely is not a tourist destination but we felt safe. I would stay here again."
