Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa
The individual room needs updated! We had a balcony suite and all we could see was trees and solar panels! We noticed rooms where being worked on. Noisy! Staff not real friendly except for the door men. The outlets to plug in phones, etc where in terrible condition! Will probably not return to this ...

Our room was very clean and the air conditioner worked really well. It actually adjusted the temperature automatically for heat or cool as needed. The breakfast each morning was delicious, hot and provided a great selection. All of the staff was friendly and very helpful! Thank you!!
