Fantastic location near Sugar Mountain - staff and check in area are welcoming and cozy, with lots of Scots artifacts throughout. Nice breakfast (included on weekends) with covered driveway. It is a motor lodge (all rooms open directly to the outside), with partially updated rooms - sinks and countertops are newer, but carpet and easy chair were getting threadbare. The thermostat worked great and rooms were nice any warm during our January stay during winter megastorm Izzy. Not upscale by any means, but relatively inexpensive and comfortable with fantastic location between Sugar Mountain and Banner Elk. Access is VERY EASY as it is on the main road (Tynecastle) with no twisty or steep access roads needed.

During these trying times of COVID, we were pleasantly surprised with this Best Westerns ability to provide a clean and safe environment. Instead of the included buffet breakfast, they provided a wonderful "grab N go" alternative that was perfect for our days activities. Just a call to the desk and anything you required in your room was delivered to your room and left at your door. Everyone was so nice and professional. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

It was a lovely hotel and we enjoyed our stay very much. Staff was extremely quick brining extra towels and toiletries when requested. Overall the hotel staff was verry friendlynand helpfull. Thebobly down side was on the day we checked in it rained forna bit and the walkways are extremely slippery. The hotel does have signs posted warning avout slipper walkways and to be careful, but i think mats of some sort would be very beneficial. They do have something with a bit more traction on the stairs, if possible to incorporate the same thing on the walkways to the rooms would be very beneficial.
