Not being hyperbolic, this is the dirtiest and most run down hotel I ever had the displeasure of booking. Rooms are not as described and Expedia wouldn't help wit the refund. Let me list:
Upon entering the parking lot there is a broken down vehicle on tires.
The rooms reek of smoke even though it says no smoking.
There are burn stains all over the furniture from previous smokers.
The room in general is disgusting. Likely gently cleaned. Blankets had stains on them.
The room was falling apart: Holes in wall, furniture beat up and broken, appliances extremely old. A hole on the wall was being covered by a stuffed tissue.
Property did not feel safe.
I could go on but this is the general experience. I left after 20 minutes as we had children with us and it was not safe to have them on property.
When visiting West Jefferson (typically twice a year), I usually stay at a competitor property across the road. This time it was fully booked so I thought I would try Nation's Inn.
Never again.
They had my reservation wrong. (On the plus side, the lady at the front desk was well-intentioned and kind.)
The now non-smoking hotel previously permitted smoking, and the room stunk of cigarette smoke.
The room in the "pet-friendy" hotel smelled of past dog guests (and while I'm definitely a dog person, I prefer my hotel room doesn't smell of other people's dogs)
The breakfast was meager
And the entire property needs more than a refresh - more like a re-build
If ever faced with the situation where the competitor across the road isn't available, I'll stay instead at a hotel in Boone
We were iffy about booking related to mixed reviews but we found our room quite clean and comfortable. I spray everything in our motel rooms down with Lysol anyway , just a habit developed during Covid and do it even when we stay at the Hampton. Spent one night for my birthday, then drove 30 minutes to eat breakfast at Daniel Boone Inn . Location was great with several fast food restaurants, Ingles and a Dollar General walkable if forget any essentials. Will stay again.
Good news- the staff was great. Bad news- pool overall condition, hat to Fox toilet myself, wires hanging, fire alarm had bare wires exposed, unknown liquid in bottom of refrigerator, desperately needs repairs/remodeling.
close to Lansing, NC (which was destination). Good value. second time we have stayed here and will be back.

Decent place for a cheap stay. Yes it’s older and a bit run down. But generally clean and functional. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again and recommend for budget conscious travelers.
This is a good clean motel, well lite parking, complimentary breakfast great price. And a convenient dollar general store next door....I forgot my toothbrush..
The service and hotel were surprisingly good for the price. The bed was comfy. It is an older hotel but very well maintained. I would stay again. WARNING: Don't go to the Kentucky Fried Chicken/Taco Bell. Jip city😁
The front desk person was very kind. However, this is the wrist room I’ve ever stayed in and I am not picky. The whole room smelled heavily of cigarette smoke, despite being “non-smoking”. I can deal with things I’m being run down but this place was falling apart. The lampshades were all burned up, the chair was missing its fabric and everything was worn out. I never could find the TV remote.
Bed was comfortable, thank goodness.

Poor sound insulation from outside noise. Outdated bathroom had tiny toilet better suited for children than the adult male anatomy. But the room did have a good bed and good chairs that were comfortable and functional.
Was very out dated, carpet ,room had a terrible odor/smell in it! I asked for a refund and of course I made reservations so I had t forfeit a night stay?? It was a very busy weekend, I didn’t think I would find us a place? The place I found cost double amount, much smaller room, one bed, but very clean! I will definitely b looking into places a little bit better .
Not a good property. Rooms are “non :smoking”, but still smell of smoke from the past. Check-in was fine. Had no towels in my room. Their “breakfast” is almost nothing. Didn’t even have coffee cups. Front desk worker was asleep in the morning. Noisy, can hear traffic outside. Hot water was good. Air conditioner/heater worked well, and was pretty silent.
It's a pretty area and convenient location. However, the room we were in needs a deep cleaning and/or renovation(especially the bathroom).
There was a quarter roll of toilet paper with no backups in the bathroom. Dirty black caulk around the base of the toilet No cups, no liner bag for the ice bucket, TV remote didn't work, burned out or missing lightbulbs. The staff was friendly. With some simple improvements it could be a nice place to stay in the future.
