Clean, Comfortable and Friendly Staff

Myself and a friend were in town for a race down the road at the equestrian center. The hotel parking lot was clean and there were many options for parking. The inside was clean, staff friendly to check in. Room was clean, bathroom stocked. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was GREAT! I was pleasantly surprised. We ended up needing a late check out and the staff were able to accommodate without issue. I will plan to stay again in the future for races in the area.

We feel so fortunate that our hotel in Firest City had (and kept) power following Helene. It was such a safe haven for us and our friends who we came up to visit for their wedding in Rutherfordton. Their cabin was flooded and without power. The breakfast every morning was exceptional!!! Thank you.
