This looks like it was an old Comfort Inn that has been taken over by a private group. But the facilities were in excellent condition. And the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay here. I plan on using this hotel next year as well when we come up for WCU football games. Also, they are apparently still connected with the Choice Hotels group in some way and you can earn or use Choice Hotel points here.

Our room needed work... toilet ran, heater/ air was loud and didn't seem to display a correct temp. TV reset itself every hour. Staff was very friendly. We let things ride as they weren't initially noticeable and we didn't spend too much time in the room , and let them know the issues at checkout.

Great stay

Great stay but there was a strange humidity in the room, making the floor extremely slipping upon entering and I almost busted my butt twice. Even the carpet felt wet. Other than that, clean and great view.

It was ok and a basic motel. That area has a lot of places like this. The room had no closet, which I havent seen before. The room was clean, the staff was friendly. We didn't have the breakfast, but it wasn't what we wanted. The pool was closed but it is still early for that now.
