Exactly what we needed after our long outdoor excursion
Pros:

Everything. The property was well maintained and the staff was more than helpful. We had just completed a 200 mile hike on the AT and were staying overnight to head home the next day. We were allowed to check in earlier and upon arrival Shauna at the front desk was more than accommodating to get us info on the bus depot and a driver to get us there. The room was nice and cold when we arrived. The bed was comfy and the walk in shower was really nice. All in all a great stay.

Cons:

There wasn’t anything to dislike

Perfection!!! Memorable !!!
Pros:

My favorite hotel in Boone! Perfectly located with sunset views from your patio or porch on Blowing Rock Road. Throw rocks to hit about any convenient business you need. People; people are critical to the hospitality upon arrival. I was so happily surprised at my arrival I forgot the young man’s name. He was top notch; professional, welcoming and handsome. Dining in a famous area restaurant “Over Yonder” , sitting by the outside fire on a cool 47” night before sleeping in a bed with 5 Star linens. A noon check out was a wonderful surprise. THANK YOU for making my stay for my 16 year old Jack Russell and me so memorable!!!! Until next time!!!

Cons:

The low beam chair in the room. I’m 69.

A bit pricey for what you get.
Pros:

The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and everything seems to have been updated.

Cons:

The only thing I seemed to be able to watch on tv was Tubi. Anything else required a subscription. My balcony had a view of the roof and AC unit of the restaurant. Parking spaces were small. Fortunately I was on a small car. The mixed drinks offered by the bar were very unusual and certainly not appealing. The beer menu also left a lot to be desired.
