Hampton Inn Marion

10/10 Excellent

"I am working from out of town in the Marion area, I am & will be staying for several more trips to come. I enjoy everything about that Hampton inn. Rooms are very clean, great fresh breakfast every morning & the staff treat me like family, can't ask for more, I won't stay anywhere else."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Morganton Historic Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I have been here a few times before and it is absolutely perfect. The rooms are beautiful, it’s a great location and the staff was top notch. Without a doubt the best place to stay in town and everything is within walking distance. Perfect."

Hampton Inn & Suites Lenoir

8/10 Good

"The room was nice. Pros: Quiet HVAC, Bathroom & shower well lit and efficient, nice tv, lots of counter space. Cons: Hated the heavy sliding door (noisy and easy to mash fingers), VERY unhappy there were no bedside tables/reading lamps in the corners, one of the mattresses was badly worn in and not flat (not very comfortable), unhappy that no tv streaming services available included in the price of my room, unhappy that no senior or AAA discount was made available to me, the prices of the snacks were ridiculous . There is an additional $10 charge on my card and I'm not sure why!! I should hope it will be refunded. The breakfast was okay although the bananas and apples were woefully overripe and the eggs were not hot. All in all, the staff were polite and the parking was fine."

Lovely lakefront home with dock. Summertime stunner. Winter wonderland nearby.

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived to find the perfect spot for our girls weekend. The house is beautiful and well appointed. There was even a slushie machine! The outdoor areas were really comfy and we enjoyed the screened in area. This is a great spot for families with children over 8. They're are lots of games including rock band and a stand up deer hunter. The dock was great. There were kayaks and a paddle board. The only downside was the path to the lake. It was very steep. I can't wait to visit again!"
