The hotel was very nice, included breakfast was delicious, and the river was beautiful. However, the location is very misleading and there is none of the typical literature left in hotel rooms telling you of local attractions and restaurants. Make sure if you stay there, you look past tiny Dillsboro to the next town (which is literally right across the bridge) for a very charming downtown area and a lot more options for restaurants and shops.
