I got very ill while staying at this property, and they were so very accommodating, even were going to allow me to stay an extra night to try to recuperate. My daughter was able to come and get me to take me home and they did not charge me for the extra night. Also, they cleaned the room and changed my sheets in the middle of my stay to keep me comfortable. Excellent staff and front desk personnel.

The staff was very friendly and helpful; the room was nice. The bathroom (some small bugs on the walls) and headboard of one bed had evidence of not a thorough cleaning, but otherwise the room was in good shape. The breakfast was good and the kitchen staff very friendly and kept the area clean and stocked. Thank you.

So my husband and I booked this stay for our Anniversary several weeks in advance… we have kids, so we figured it would be best to take a “staycation” close to home yet in a different county, while the kids stay with their Nana. We were so excited to check-in to our property we had been long awaiting for weeks! Only to find that at check-in, a young and rather rude woman grimaced after looking at my drivers license stating “You’re from Waynesville?” I replied “Yes,” with a smile, only to find her grimace never turned into a smile. She instead rudely retorted, “We don’t allow locals.” I proceeded to say that we made the reservation already through hotels.com,several weeks ago, and the property approved my stay. She said “It doesn’t matter. We don’t accept locals. But let me call the manager just to see what she says.” She came back and confirmed the hotel policy once again: “Yeah, she said no. We don’t allow locals.” No apology. No signs of compassion or regret… What a disgusting way to treat a paying guest with a reservation - local or not. Shame on yall… I wouldn’t recommend this rude staff with rude policies to my worst enemy. There are better options in town. I highly recommend any hotel other than this one if you want to feel safe and welcomed.

As others have said, the view is what makes this hotel. Great location - so close to all that’s Dillsboro and major roads to surrounding area. Peaceful. Room was spacious, beds were comfortable. Breakfast was basic, standard hotel breakfast fare, but the attendant was very helpful and attentive.

My family and I took a three day vacation here and it was amazing. The rooms were clean, staff was friendly, breakfast was good. The pool was clean with accessible towels. Just sitting out on the patio watching the beautiful scenery and the people kayaking down the river was relaxing. We will definitely be back.

It's a nice hotel but needs to be updated. We stayed in 2022 and it has sorely declined since. Only one side of the AC worked in our room, so we turned it as low as possible to stay cool. The beds, pillows and linens were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was clean but again some refinishing and update of appearance would be a nice improvement. The room's balcony and 1st floor patio overlooking the river are very peaceful, watching kids fishing and families go by in kyaks are a treat.
The free breakfast was very helpful and good, but an updated pancake or waffle machine would greatly improve the breakfast. The chairs in dining area badly need to be cleaned and have new cushions. I felt uncomfortable to sit on them, they are unsightly. The ice machine had great ice with no chlorine smell and a very clean taste. Coffee was also very good. For the money we paid I was rather disappointed but some updating and replacing old stuff would greatly improve what still is a nice hotel.

What makes this hotel special is its location, directly on the Tuckaseegee River, away from all traffic. It becomes even more special if you opt for a riverview room.
There were a couple of glitches which detracted from the overall satisfaction of my stay. Check-in was efficient and prompt, however on entering my non-riverview room, I was unable to access my bathroom- the door was locked. It took 2 visits back to the front desk and visits from 2 different \"experts\" to resolve the problem, eventually accomplished with a small screwdriver. This took at least an hour, which I had counted on as rest time from a long day; fortunately nature did not call during the interim. The easy solution would have been to immediately put me in a similar, but functional, room. The second glitch came later as I was using my computer and needed to make notes. I have never been in this quality of a hotel and it didn't have a notepad and pen in the room. Very inconvenient - Other than that this is a wonderful place to stay, and I hope to return another time when in the area. Everything is clean and comfortable. The breakfast is above average. And the location is extra-special.

Fleas in a no pet room, the carpet throughout the hotel needs to be cleaned “shampooed”.
The tub shower had a hole with a white vinyl bandaid tape over it. A cut foot waiting to happen.

The view of the river and watching the train go by was nice. The breakfast was satisfying.

Lovely location on the river my husband even was able to fish a little. We were on the first floor, so the room felt a little damp and a little musty smelling the beds were comfortable. The pillows were lumpy. Overall the room was nice and clean and comfortable the Gals at check-in were lovely. They had a good variety for breakfast although one morning they ran out of eggs before breakfast was over next morning. The yogurt machine didn’t work, the next morning I had to wait for coffee. Maybe it was just busy. Just a small inconvenience. The price was good. I didn’t use the pool or the exercise room. It is very close proximity to downtown Silva as well as downtown Dillsboro. I would stay again.

I liked this place. Comfy beds. Beautiful water views. Would stay again. I also liked the proximity to downtown but with a secluded feel. This property is showing a lot of age and wear though. Example..the material on the seats in the lobby and breakfast area is wearing off pretty badly. Definitely needs new seating. The breakfast food is not very good either. It looked good but didn’t taste good. It was free, so I can’t complain too much.

There was a beautiful view outside on the deck, however our room faced the parking lot on the first level. We could not open our curtains because of a direct view into our room

It was a great hotel. It is so worth the extra money for the rooms on the river. It's about an hour to the Tail of the Dragon and an hour to Gatlinburg but its so quit and peaceful. Away from all the noise of those two areas.

We had an amazing stay here. The location was beautiful and easy to find. The views were great-- the river in the back and the old train tracks in front (which would have been great for an industrial photo shoot of we had time). It was also central to everywhere we wanted to go near Cherokee and Bryson City. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful-- I accidentally left my portable charger while checking in and didn't realize until the end of my trip. Believe it or not, they still had it!!

Breakfast was good, and offered a lot of variety. It was clean and well maintained, with the exception of our last day where it was fairly messy. It was likely due to the number of guests that day, but I also noticed that staff only appeared to replenish and not neaten up as they did on other days.

The pool and the gym were nice (we seemed to be the only ones who used them!), though the treadmill did not appear to be working (forgot to let the staff know). Overall a wonderful stay.

Room was good; The bathtubshower rod was so low. The curtain was 10 inches on the bathfloor. The toliet was a child's size. I needed help getting odd the toliet.
Breakfast was ok, except for the day old sauge patties served?.
Staff were good.

The property was clean, beautiful, and close to shops and restaurants. We loved sitting on our balcony and front deck area overlooking the river. Staff were friendly. We arrived at 3:30pm but were told check-in was at 4pm even though their website says 3. It was 4:15 when we were allowed to get in our room. That was a little annoying. They need to update the check-in time on their website. There was also no decaf coffee either morning. We told the staff but no reason given. My sister had to go back to our room and make her decaf coffee. No big deal but would have been nice to have it in the breakfast area.

Great Hotel! Book a river front room if you can. The view is gorgeous. If you can't no worries, they have a huge patio w/ seating you can hang out on w/ the river view. Just Beautiful.

Everything was good except for the people at the hotel having a car convention. They were very loud until at least 10:45pm. The hotel staff got them to quiet down the 2nd night after 8pm and it was better.
