Nice new hotel, staff was very friendly. However these large corporate hotel chain's have gotten super cheap. There's no complementary coffee in the lobby and no coffee machine in the rooms only a little Starbucks bistro that charges $8 for an espresso drink. Pretty ridiculous.

Stayed on the top 4th floor and was very noisy - headboards were vibrating from the roof top mechanical fans for the air conditioners. help desk told me the next morning that they have that problem a lot and have to move people to other rooms. I told them that they should have offered that the night before so that we could have slept better . Beautiful new place and very clean. Just need to get some sound proofing on the 4th floor -

Overall the hotel was great. Location was is perfect for visiting grandfather mountain. Room was very nice. Conveniently located next to a grocery store. I encountered one issue concerning breakfast as I was erroneously charged for an “included” breakfast. Thankfully Expedia is reimbursing me for those charges. At check in I was told I did not have the included breakfast with my room package. The next morning I was told by a different front desk person there would NOT be any charge, so we ate breakfast and checked out. A couple days later card hit for the breakfast charge.

There were several aspects of my stay that I truly enjoyed. The building is brand new, clean, and features a lovely modern look. The room was spacious and comfortable, and I particularly appreciated the thick towels, the comfortable bed, and the lighting and vent fan in the bathroom. I also liked the storage bench that slides under the table. Mountain View I had several concerns: - Room Features: The light over the desk was insufficient, and there was not enough light near the closet. The closet itself was very narrow, making it difficult to get my garment bag in and out. additional hang pegs for hanging clothes would have been helpful. - Lighting and Layout: The lamp on the table did not illuminate the work surface well and instead shone directly into my eyes while I was sitting in bed. I also found the walk from the elevator to my room to be quite long, at approximately 100 yards. - Accessibility: I was very disappointed with the handicap parking accessibility. There is no parking at the front of the building near the automatic door. The side entrances requires navigating uncovered walkways, stairs or heavy manual doors. The back handicap parking requires traveling halfway around the building to the entrance or reaching over a fence at the pool, which caused me to get wet when it rained. and opening a heavy, locked, manual door - Amenities: I was disappointed that at 6:45 am the only coffee available cost almosst $5 and only food was microwaveable frozen food.
