Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites
Hotel was off the beaten path, but so worth it! Area around hotel is more commercial businesses & not a lot of lighting. However the views of the river & proximity to Dillsboro & Sylvia are worth it! Hotel was very clean, beds soft & shower was excellent. Staff was friendly!
