Some of the staff were outstanding. Will and Debbie stood out. Breakfast was very good and plentiful. Beds were very comfortable and the room well kept. Location by the river was pretty. Highly recommend the river view as the other side is a parking lot and some industrial buildings. Great value.

It was ok ,a little out dates and shows signs of wear scuff marks and scratched dresser. Limited breakfast options no microwave in dining area to warm the danish to help soften them up. Was there three nights and the last night the clerk was friendly all the others were not acted like they didn't want to be there . I probably will not stay there again. The indoor pool was great and the nice area to set out to watch to river run.

We love it here!
We have stayed here many times, and absolutely love it! The location is convenient near the freeway and close to Dillsboro & Sylva (which I love!), all while being tucked away in the woods to watch the river peacefully flow past! The staff has always been fabulous, the facilities clean and comfortable, and the food plentiful and delicious.
