The location is good for Boone or Banner Elk. Room was clean but outdated & carpet old. More hooks or rack in the bathroom would be helpful. Also bring your own coffee, none in the room. If your near the main entrance it's noisy. And the hairdryer didn't work properly.

Eclectic building built in the 70’s. Lots of retro knotty pine paneling, wall of mirrors and real keys. Price was reasonable, no loud guest. Would stay there again

Overall I'm glad we picked this hotel. The staff at the hotel were super nice! The floor in our room was a bit squeaky, but we barely heard anything from the floor above us. The pool was a very comfortable temperature and the sauna felt good. They had a heavy snow early on the day we checked in, so we were glad to have a lower level to park in!

This was a very cute and quite nice stay. There are a lot of stairs if you don’t have great mobility that may be a consideration.

I was very disappointed in this lodge I booked thru Hotels.com. The condition was terrible we didn’t get into our room until late or we would have left then we slept there and checked out the next morning I asked for a refund but was told I would have to go thru hotels.com I am shocked that Hotels.com would have this on their site and it show an excellent rating
