It’s my go to place. Clean rooms, the indoor heated pool and the atmosphere are just a few of the great amenities offered. The staff always welcome my family and I as if its our second home especially the breakfast staff. The view and access to the river make it even more enjoyable especially if you have children in the summer months. ##### Crystal Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda 11 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel was off the beaten path, but so worth it! Area around hotel is more commercial businesses & not a lot of lighting. However the views of the river & proximity to Dillsboro & Sylvia are worth it! Hotel was very clean, beds soft & shower was excellent. Staff was friendly! ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven 2 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 116 was a wonderful room, beautiful view of the river, nice pool, great gathering spaces. ##### Steven Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa 7 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved our room over looking the river.

I had a river view room with a balcony, but the building has an excellent design with a deck off the dining room with chairs and tables, so any guest can get comfortable and enjoy the view as often and for as long as they like. For decades I’ve stayed in numerous hotels per year for work annd play, and this one was the quietest. The layout is easy to navigate and the room had everything I needed, including a small fridge and microwave. ##### Cindy Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sharon 8 Jan 2026 The room smelled like chlorine/bleach .probably due to the hot tub.....the river view.was very nice...the heater/AC unit was very noisy. The Continental breakfast was not good at all...the front desk person was very nice. ##### Sharon Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet 11 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I LOVE staying @ this hotel!

Rooms were nice. We didn't have river view and that was disappointing. We had left something behind and tried 20 times during the day to call property but never an answer of the phone. Very disappointing. ##### Paulette Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dag 27 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was spotless and the staff was super courteous. Although when we got to the room, the maids had left the door propped open with the door lock and I thought I was going to have to go in there and do some karate stuff! Lol. ##### Dag Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tasaddooque 24 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities River view was great ##### Tasaddooque Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharon 12 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Comfortable bed ##### Sharon Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Coretta 27 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Balcony view of the river was amazing, beautiful and relaxing.
