Carolina Motel

Carolina Motel

8/10 Good
"It was perfect for what I needed it for. Very close to downtown (not walkable) and easy to get to neighboring towns. Beds are comfy and the room was clean. Friendly staff. Room smelled a little musty from humidity but that’s expected in an old motel. I would definitely stay again."

Chatuge Mountain Inn

8/10 Good
"This property would more appropriately be called a motel. However, it was everything we needed for our plans. Good location for our purposes and a very good price. We arrived later than expected but the proprietor was very accommodating and pleasant. One thing I really want to commend them for may sound odd, but it matters to us: there were blankets on the bed, not just a sheet and comforter. It amazes me that high end hotels will charge a lot of money for beds with no blankets, just heavy comforters that are too hot in the summer and when you throw then off, it is too cold with just the sheet. This sweet little place had nice blankets - old school and thank you!!"

"This is a late-1800s property in a convenient in-town location. Some deferred maintenance was seen, but it was very serviceable. Rooms were clean & good sized, but our bathroom shower was TINY. Lots of public areas to relax & enjoy the views. Owner was very helpful with recommendations for area restaurants & things to see/do. Breakfast was great, with a good mix of hot & cold items. Owner even insisted on giving us a "to-go bag" as we were leaving before breakfast started."
