This hotel lacked much although the location is great. Upon checkin, the front desk did not know basic facts about nearby restaurants, pickleball rentals, hours, etc. When we requested a higher floor room, they said they were all not yet cleaned and refused to accommodate our request. The hotel and grounds needed a good overall cleaning…cobwebs abound on and around all outdoor fixtues, fences, entryways, chairs. Inside, it seems new carpeting was installed over the lumps and bumps of the subflooring creating a stumbling hazard. Housekeeping did not touch our room for the three-night stay although the front desk did supply towels and soap that we requested. The front lobby only had coffee until 9 am and they ran out of half-n-half for two of the three days forcing us to BUY coffee elsewhere. Pathetic! It has the potential of being a five-star hotel, but has missed the mark this time….I don’t know if we will consider staying here in the future based on how many things need improvement for the price they charge.

Worst hotel experience I have had in my 45 years of traveling for leisure and business. No maid service? Whoever heard of a hotel with no maid service! Especially one that advertises that they do. Our room was way, way smaller than any shown on your website. Very little care shown at the front desk - business as usual.

Very beautiful area and the hotel were stunning. Easy parking and pleasant surroundings. The only negative was that there were no dining options on the 2 days that we stayed. I understood that there was a wedding reception on one day. Easy short drive to Waynesville NC.

Nice stay. It's an older place. Overall happy with the stay. Comfortable and staff was very nice. But there were negatives. Room is on the small side. TV was small. Bath vanity was very small. Beds were small, with no nightstand on one side. Probably would not stay here again.

A Disappointment….

Room was clearly an older version with a rumpled and unsupportive bed, only one light in the room, and very small. This was in contradiction to the photos and description on the hotels.com website. Very disappointing, no acknowledgement or accommodation from the front desk staff when made aware of our concerns.

Not what I expected but nice

When I booked I asked for the view in the room, they said every trim overlooked the lake, upon check in my room was humid, dated, it had a musty smell and the window faced a wall… they did quickly fixed it and moved me to a much nicer room with no extra charge. The staff was very nice and friendly. I didn’t like that you had to drive to the pool and to the restaurant. The property could use some TLC
