Fabulous hotel, already raving about it to friends!
Pros:

Exceeded expectations in every way-great rooms (comfortable bed, black out curtains, hot shower, ac system system easy to use, good hair products & towels), best hot breakfast we have ever had in a hotel at this price point in the US (they had so much good hot & cold stuff, including gluten free & dairy free options and fresh blueberries & strawberries-in this economy?!), also a gym with quality equipment, indoor pool, ice machines that adhere to quiet hours, dog friendly, 24-7 hot coffee & tea in lobby, free parking). So many thoughtful details and high-quality touches.

Cons:

Wifi was a bit slow and dog poop bags were empty at the dog relief station.

Hotel is modern, clean, conveniently located, with friendly staff and pleasing accomodations.
Pros:

Hotel is conveniently located to restaurants, shopping and a short distance to area attractions. Staff are friendly and professonial. The hotel lobby, restaurant, elevators, hallways, stairwells and rooms were clean. Rooms and lobby are tastefully decorated. Breakfast options were numerous, including fresh fruit, multiple yogurt flavors, granola, dried fruit, eggs, breakfast meats, waffles, danishes, muffins, and other pastries for those with a sweet tooth; several bread choices, 4 juice choices, almond milk, and a variety of coffees and teas. Hotel is non-smoking. Water pressure in the showers is strong. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash are provided; fresh fragrance. There is an ample supply of clean towels.

Cons:

The entry door to the lobby is automatic and opens rapidly toward the persons entering the hotel. A sliding door would be safer than the current opening. It was difficult to regulate the temperature in the room.

A very nice hotel located off a busy highway
Pros:

We had a very nice 2-night stay here. The accommodations are clean and modern. The complimentary breakfast is a step above the normal free breakfast. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. It’s a great location for exploring Boone and, a bit further away, Blowing Rock. However, don’t be misled by the beautiful picture in the listing for this property. It is NOT located in an idyllic, wooded area. It is right off of busy NC 105 😕

Very good place to stay without being in the midst of the nightlife.
Pros:

This is a nicely located hotel in Boone. Very convenient and easy to access. The hotel is clean and quiet. The shower was wonderful - great water pressure! There is an indoor pool, they allow pets in the first two floors, and have a good breakfast selection.
