Bugs in room
The room looked clean and nice; UNTIL we found bugs in the shower, on the bathroom floor and my daughter had a cockroach land on her thigh while sitting by the bed. When we told the staff they seemed unbothered.

Birthday weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this hotel. It is more expensive than we normally would pay. It really shouldn’t cost as much as it does. Even so, we loved staying here. It was close to historic Sylva.

Great place to stay
Everything was great, very clean, very comfortable. It seemed like there was only one person that was taking care of the reception desk and the breakfast counter. She was working hard running around getting everyone everything they needed.

Checking in was easy, the lobby and room was clean. Went to bed with the A/C set low and in the middle of the night, it shut off. The room was crazy hot. For the rest of the night, the A/C would turn off and on. Made the stay horrible.

It was ok. The room never really got to my temperature comfort level. Had several issues with the TV but the maintenance tech was kind and resolved the issues in my room.

Nice clean hotel. Unfortunately, we booked and paid more than surrounding hotels for the purpose of using the pool and hot tub. Both were closed due to "chemical issues." I honestly don't think they should charge full price if their main amenity is closed. If we had been informed ahead of time we would have canceled and stayed somewhere else.
