Who ever gives this hotel 5 stars should not be reviewing. It’s not terrible it’s just lacking many amenities! People need to be real in their reviews! Chetola is a 9 and this property is a 9.6? Something is wrong. If Chetola is a 9 then this property is a 6. Looks like someone bought a warn out hotel and put lipstick on it!

Loved the renovation of a classic motel and its great finishing details. Balcony and outdoor areas were a plus. Staff were friendly and helpful. Over Yonder restaurant and bar were delicious. Staff recommended Sunrise Grill for breakfast which was also very good.

The room was sufficient and very conveniently located. The in site restaurant was really good-get the okra. There were no mirrors in the room other than the bathe mirror making it inconvenient to get ready while someone else showered. The shower curtain smelled overwhelmingly of mildew. Otherwise clean room in a great location.

Pet friendly of course, is always great. But this hotel truly exceeded our expectations. We loved that there was no carpet and just polished concrete floors. It seems so much cleaner than other hotels. The decor was beautiful. The little store down by the check in counter was adorable And we wanted to buy everything down there! We did buy some cuzies to keep in our travel bag to remember this place by. Both my Bestie and I said that we would come back up to Boone just to stay in this place again. Stay here! You’ll love it!!
