My wife and I stayed at the Early Blue Motel this past weekend, and we had a great experience. The check-in process was simple and straightforward, which got our stay off to a smooth start. The motel’s location is very convenient, being close to the town of Saluda, NC, and easy access to Interstate 26 made traveling easy. The room was spotless, which we appreciated, but the highlight of our stay was the breathtaking view. It's absolutely stunning and undoubtedly the best reason to stay here. We’re already planning to return so we can enjoy the scenery in different seasons. Check-out was just as smooth as check-in, making the entire process hassle-free. We highly recommend Early Blue Motel for anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and scenic getaway!

Stayed here the night before dropping our kids at a nearby sleepaway camp and it was great! We were in one of the original rooms - no frills, but was clean, fresh and had comfortable beds. The backyard overlook area has breathtaking views and lots of great outdoor furniture and games to enjoy. Loved the little town of Saluda just down the road for dinner and shopping!

Early Blue is a gem!!! Stunning views of the mountains. Crazy convenient to Saluda, Tryon and Hendersonville. Staff are friendly, and helpful answering any questions we had. We will definitely be going back soon! Can't wait to see the leaves change in the fall. Make sure to get a view of the mountains with access to the courtyard. You'll love it!
