I spent a week at the property as I had business in Tryon NC, and this motel was 15 minutes to the event. It was quiet at night for the season I was there which was in March but still steady people staying. There was unfortunately a wild fire at the time but the staff kept us updated in the event of evacuation. The rooms are clean and are being updated as under new management. The views are stellar behind the motel. A work in progress but I think the new owners have a good plan for the motel and are working toward the progress daily. I spoke directly to them and they were friendly and very southern hospitality. The little town of Saluda is a sweet spot in those mountains. The Wildflour bakery I’m told is the best all around but get there early in the mornings for their sticky buns, they don’t last long. I had pizza there on Friday night and it’s the best I ever tasted. Wakey Monkey coffee shop is a must stop also. Fresh home baked pastry’s and breakfasts and lunch served daily till 2. Coffee was fresh and delicious, owners were sweet southern kindness. The whole town has great history and everyone who lived there are more than happy to share stories. Trangie, the Mayor of Saluda told me much of the history along with VIVi in the visitors center. I highly recommend this motel for a great get away stay tucked in the beautiful mountains in NC. Lots to see all around the area and short distances to each place from Early Blue. Come back for a relaxing fire and quiet.

My wife and I stayed at the Early Blue Motel this past weekend, and we had a great experience. The check-in process was simple and straightforward, which got our stay off to a smooth start. The motel’s location is very convenient, being close to the town of Saluda, NC, and easy access to Interstate 26 made traveling easy. The room was spotless, which we appreciated, but the highlight of our stay was the breathtaking view. It's absolutely stunning and undoubtedly the best reason to stay here. We’re already planning to return so we can enjoy the scenery in different seasons. Check-out was just as smooth as check-in, making the entire process hassle-free. We highly recommend Early Blue Motel for anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and scenic getaway!

Early Blue is a gem!!! Stunning views of the mountains. Crazy convenient to Saluda, Tryon and Hendersonville. Staff are friendly, and helpful answering any questions we had. We will definitely be going back soon! Can't wait to see the leaves change in the fall. Make sure to get a view of the mountains with access to the courtyard. You'll love it!
