Location is perfect. Close to several charming towns such as downtown Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk. Also near the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway and Grandfather Mountain. Our room was comfortable with a cozy fireplace and looked like it had been recently remodeled. The downsides was that outside the hotel needed some sprucing up. Another downside was that they never cleaned our room one time during the 4 nights we were there. After a couple of days towels, trash, and dishes (from the grab and go breakfast) were starting to pile up. It would have been nice if they would have came and gathered these things once a day and refreshed the towels. We were able to ask for fresh towels and trash bags. Finally, the walls and ceilings are very thin, from someone walking back and forth upstairs at 5 am, and a baby screaming at 2 am.
