Catawba Island Vacations from $399

Our initial room had a distinct smell of smoke, coupled with dirty sheets on one of the beds. The room we were placed in instead turned out to have brunette hair in the shower, and a pair of underwear in the chair pushed up against the office desk in the room. In the hotel overall, there was also a “wet dog” smell throughout. It was to the point that we grabbed a car freshener and put it in the A/C unit of the room to combat the stale stench. The room was worth far less than what we paid. I refuse to recommend this establishment as an option for a hotel stay.

Awesome view. Great staff.
