We enjoyed the convenience of arriving late on Friday night for check-in, and the close proximity to the WCU campus. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This was the second stay here for us within a week, and I will definitely be booking a stay here again in the future.

Disliked: Amenities
Great price and room wasn’t dirty, but the area around it is a little sketchy. Probably wouldn’t go again. Felt a little unsafe.

Basically the property didn't have any grass to cut. I did see a gentleman blowing the leaves out of the parking lot into the woods. Rooms can use some updates, especially on the shower ceilings. One of the queen beds had flat sheets instead of a fitted on the bottom. Trash cans in room need to be washed out occasionally. Ice maker didn't work. Heater/aircondition units worked excellant once they got up and running.The beds slept comfortable. For the price we paid for the room it was decent. If and when we return to Cullowhee NC we would stay again.

My weekend was centered around the University and I spent most of my time there. It is a basic hotel with a convenient location so it is perfect for me. I stay here every time I am in the area.

We would definately stay again. Staff were friendly, the rooms were decent for the price. Beds were comfortable but made a lot of noise when turning over.The bathroom was updated although the tub seemed small. The entrance door to room didn't look like it was closed all the way, until the dead bolt was locked. No luggage rack or hangers to hang clothes in the room. Just a suggestion, which ever door the fridge is in I would remove the door to cabinet completely. Also, the stairwells need sweeping/cleaned.
