Top Catawba Science Center Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Lenoir Hwy 321 Northern Foothills

8/10 Good

"The room was generally clean except for a musty smell which I believe is coming from the older carpet. I would have given an excellent review had it not been for the odor. Many hotels have started replacing carpet with the engineered wood floors which I believe is an excellent idea as they can be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized leaving no mold or odors."
