Very convenient to downtown restaurants and shopping, pleasant and helpful staff, our balcony overlooked the Pigeon River, nice room and had washer and drier on first floor. The nightly price was reasonable, including breakfast. The only negative was the hallway carpeting was worn, stained and needed updating.
Having a great stay.
Beautiful setting.
