While the front desk was very courteous and helpful, the property is undergoing renovations and there was no pool or outdoor area and the restaurant was closed. No sidewalks around the property so walking into town was not an option. We had no hot water when we wanted to take a shower but that was taken care of promptly. Decor was dated but as I said, there is a renovation going on.

This hotel is old but really well-maintained. The landscaping is very nice with lush grass and attractive flower beds. We stayed there 20 years ago when our children were little for a ski trip. The rooms have not changed much in appearance (simple interiors) but everything was super clean, beds were very comfortable and there were a variety of pillow types to meet our preferences. We were in town for a wedding and it was perfect for a quick overnight. I would recommend this BW to travelers looking for safe, quiet, clean and reasonably priced accommodations! Breakfast buffet offered many selections and was refreshed by staff to ensure quality experience. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and very helpful! You can't beat NC Mountain Hospitality!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Location of the property was excellent. The facility has aged poorly. The AC unit was extremely loud and difficult to sleep through when it started. The refrigerator started alarming in the middle of the night. Bedding was at best eh. Breakfast was below mediocre. Would not stay there again with all of the other options on Sugar and Beech Mountain.
