We booked for two days but only stayed to check-in eat at a local place and immediately checked out.
Pros:

It did have an elevator. If you like old charm then it may be good for you. It was off season so some of the amenities were limited. There area seemed to still have the affects from a devastating hurricane in recent years.

Cons:

Smelled like a an old house which i guess it is. The plugs where behind the head board which was to difficult to reach for my CPAP machine. Blinds where in need of replacement. Given the area and very limited dining choices the on site restaurant was not open.

So short handed. BUT
The
Wait

Just what we imagined a 1940’s style hotel to look and feel like an we absolutely loved it.
Pros:

We knew before we went that Lake Lure Inn was built many, many years ago and that much of the originality was still intact. Loved the nostalgia. It was like going back in time. The view of Lake Lure from our window was a huge added bonus. We will definitely not let this be our last stay there.

We did not feel secure because the of the 1929 doors, lock and keys.
Pros:

The view was excellent. The Mexican restaurant was good within walking distance.

Cons:

The hotel facilities need to be upgraded. The smell of the hotel which is extremely old and stale. There is an issue with stink bugs at the hotel. I was traumatized. One got in my purse and pj’s. The menu needs updating. No breakfast or grits. The shower in my room appeared filthy. Perhaps
because the grout and flooring need replacing.

Convenient and bed comfortable. Couch was not very clean for a friend who slept on it.
Pros:

The property needs some attention in the general areas. Could be way better !

Cons:

Brunch was not good at all. I think the waffles were pre cooked. Would not recommend brunch.

Come for the beauty and history of the inn, not another cookie cutter hotel
Pros:

Great location, so much history and art and artifacts to explore in the inn, including spirits! The bed was beautiful with luxurious pillows and sheets and a big fluffy comforter. The towels were very nice and the little basket of soaps and such was a great touch.
The staff was wonderful! So inviting and helpful and warm.

Cons:

Musty smell in the room especially when you turn on the wall unit for either cooling or heating. Small room, small bathroom with essentially no counter space (but you have to keep in mind the age of this lovely place) carpeting is hard to describe but I kept my shoes on.

Thought it was a little over priced.Stayed in a much nicer room in Bryson City for little less money
Cons:

When I booked the room I thought I would be staying in the actual hotel but stayed in a detached room on hotel property.But it was quite because there was no one else there.was no breakfast only coffee.

Clean Hotel, but watch out for the morning lady!!!
Pros:

The property is clean

Cons:

The rooms are VERY small.
If you’re looking for a hotel that has the very minimal basics, this hotel would be fine for you. We were looking for a hotel that had some amenities. On their website, it showed a restaurant, a bar, an ice cream store, a salon, pool, breakfast in the morning, and so on. The restaurant is only open on the weekends. The bar is only open on the weekends, the ice cream store & pool is only open during the summer months (I can understand this one), the salon is permanently closed (does mention the closure on the website). The very nice lady at the front desk recommended for my husband and I take a walk around the lake. That was actually a great idea. Very pretty!!!
The lady in the front desk in the morning well, it’s the very opposite. She seemed to ticked off, not just us but several others staying at this property. For this lady is why we have marked low scores.
