A place to sleep…
The hotel was clean, the service was good. You can see signs of age and neglect in the general maintenance, but is a nice functional place to stay.

Great snow ski trip stay.
Nice clean room that has been remodeled and updated. Beds were comfortable but the pillows not so much. The front staff were polite and helpful. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

2/10 Poor

Terrible, smelled like diesel fumes in room which soon led to terrible headache and prompt checkout. No refund due to booked through Expedia and unable to reach anyone with Expedia to get money back. Will no longer book anything through Expedia!

A place to sleep, but little more
This entire property in in need of a makeover. However, the bed was decent and the area outside the bathroom had been updated. The shower and bathroom itself looked like it was 20 years old, with leaking faucet and water that went back and forth between hot and cold. Staff was nice and the breakfast was great. Had this been $100 or less would be fine, but for $280-way, way, way over-priced.

New Year's Eve in Banner Elk
Very well located hotel close to everything. Good service. Pets allowed. We stayed here twice as a family. In my opinion, the only thing that could be improved would be more breakfast options, especially for children.

We arrived late after a full day on the slopes and check-in was a breeze everyone was very nice. We met 2 ladies sitting in the lobby who were still staying there from hurricane Helene. Amazing hospitality and love towards those affected by the storm. Will stay again!

Staff was awesome from night clerk to breakfast attendant to the check out clerk. Room was nice but it was quite noisy upstairs, outside, even had a Pitt bull barking outside our door late at night. So neither of us got much sleep.

This was a nice, clean place to stay. Loved how convenient it was to everything. We only stayed a night. Unfortunately it was very loud starting at 5am. From people being loud to garbage being collected, all before 6am. But thankfully everything else was very good, including it being clean and the breakfast offered was very nice. I do recommend trying them as my experience may have been just a fluke.
