The desk clerk at check in was great. She went out of her way to solve reservation problems, We originally booked at Holiday Inn Blowing Rock but had reservations canceled less than 24 hours before our trip. They said a broken water main was the reason for cancelling our reservation, so we then rebooked in Boone. It turns out that after being told that they had a pool and hot tub, they were both not working. I would definitely not go back to Holiday Inn.

Greeting staff was eating and only look d up when I said I was checking in. I had prearranged early check-in and he argued with me about it. I was told by front desk staff (who was sweet and apologetic!) that kitchen was open until 10. Bar staff (much less friendly) said kitchen closed at 9.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The pool was dirty and so we did not swim in it. The hotel had a weird smell, and so did the water coming from the faucet in the bathroom. The soaps are all liquid in the rooms and had too strong of a fragrance.
