Catawba Valley Medical Center

This one is all about pros & cons. *Pros: spacious townhouse, great amenities(multiple pools- indoor & outdoor, lazy river, hot tub, beach, sporting areas, putting greens, activities etc), restaurants "on site"/ within 5 min drive, very beautiful setting, great price. *Cons: complicated check in process after 5p, check in was 10 min away from property by car which is several miles away & it was complicated trying to find out unit- especially in the dark, townhouse was very outdated & worn, we had a giant roach("palmetto bug" 2-3" long) in our room upon entry & front desk seemed unphased but said they could send someone to spray if we saw more, amenities cost extra ($6.50/ per person per day & you must pay that amount for each day of your stay!)& take several minutes to drive to, there are bears that wander the property & you must be careful if walking anywhere, you are the expected to clean up /take out garbage & put all sheets & towels in bag etc. Though feeling a little like we dealt with some "false advertising " in certain ways, it was still a nice overall time once we got past a few things.

Beautiful location. Staff was excellent. Food was fantastic. I can’t t wait to return.
