Convenient I-81 stop with mountain views
Pros:

Stayed here for one night while traveling on I-81 and had a very pleasant experience. The staff were friendly , and the room had all the expected stuff for this price point, including a Keurig coffee maker and comfortable furniture.

The location is excellent—very easy on/off access to I-81, and my room had a nice view of the surrounding mountains. The hotel was also very reasonably priced .

Another plus is the number of dining choices in the area, along with a mainstream grocery store within a mile or two.

Bottom line:
A solid and convenient overnight stop for travelers on I-81. I would happily stay here again.

Great stay on I-81
Pros:

My family stayed at this HIE on our way from New England to North Carolina. You won’t get a better value on I-81 than this! Spotless lobby and clean and spacious room. We were traveling with our little pug and the front desk agent gladly changed us from third to first floor to accommodate his potty breaks! The beds were soooooo comfortable and the air quality was excellent. Free breakfast in the morning was a bonus! Not much around this hotel so plan for dinner / coffee run at another exit. Our new go-to on I-81!

Pros:

Location was excellent. Breakfast was very nice. Price was also a great value. The staff was very nice. Everything was clean. Parking was plentiful. We travel a lot for sports, and this was one of my favorite stays. Coffee was also great!

Cons:

It looks mostly updated, but our bathroom door was broken, tub stopper broken, and the caulk in tub could be replaced, but it was still very clean. These were very minor issues, and I would absolutely stay again.
