Top Clayton Hotel Reviews

The Ridges Resort on Lake Chatuge

8/10 Good

"8/10"

Lake Chatuge Lodge

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but the bathroom is in need of a rehab. Looks to be all original fixtures and tile. Really showing its age. On our last night there, I ask at the front desk how much they would charge me for their cheap little plastic ice bucket. I needed to transport a few things ho.e that needed to be kept cold and did not have a cooler with me. I didn't want to just take it so I asked. The evening desk worker had no idea and called assistant manager who also couldn't answer and said they would need to check with the manager. We left at 7 AM the next morning without ever receiving an answer so I had to make due with some small bags with ice in them. I'm sure that if I would have stolen the bucket they would have come up with a cost quickly to charge my account! Over all the lodge was very quiet but the whole building is in need of updates."

Mountain Valley Inn Dillard

8/10 Good

"The woman who checked us in was competent and friendly. Parking was available right in front of our room. Everything was functional when we moved in. However the remote control for the tv did not work the next day."

Baymont by Wyndham Helen

10/10 Excellent

"Very enjoyable and clean."
