Fun vibe, great stay, a fave stop!
Pros:

We loved our stay in Boone, and wished we had stayed longer. The staff were welcoming, the room was clean and had everything we needed. The retro decor of the motel is also cool. We would highly recommend a walk over to the Appalachian Mountain Brewery and breakfast from Stick Boy or Local Lion too!

Great Value and comfortable surroundings.
Pros:

The restaurant at Rhode's Motor Lodge was top notch - Over Yonder. I highly recommend if you stay for the night. I also enjoyed the outdoor space. There were plenty of places to relax. Outside and inside.

Cons:

Overall, I nice stay. The coffee in reception should have been ready at 6 am but was not always ready that early. The shower, seemed to be slow to drain creating a pool of water while showering.

I couldn’t wait to check out and go home to sleep! I was showered and out of there before 8:30am.
Pros:

Cute, retro vibe. Clean. The best part of stay was dinner at on site restaurant, Over Yonder. Excellent food.

Cons:

Staff was not overly friendly. Did not explain why I couldn’t get a room with balcony that I had requested. He didn’t offer me to pay extra for other room when motel was empty. Just said I booked room through booking.com and was a first level room so that’s why I’m not getting balcony room. I did receive an email from booking.com, but saw explanation after had already checked in.The walls were paper thin in room! Could hear everything! Next door,One person sliding a metal chair across cement floor over and over. The room on other side of me,a man was snoring so loudly that it sounded like a freight train!!! He started about 9pm-7:30 am. He could have been in my room with me the walls were that thin. I might have gotten an hour of sleep. I won’t be back.
