Very convenient to downtown restaurants and shopping, pleasant and helpful staff, our balcony overlooked the Pigeon River, nice room and had washer and drier on first floor. The nightly price was reasonable, including breakfast. The only negative was the hallway carpeting was worn, stained and needed updating.
Having a great stay.
Beautiful setting.
Ate at Bubba Gumps Shrimp and Seafood restaurant right down the street.

A bit dated but acceptable accommodations. Breakfast was the average fare; yogurt, wannabe eggs, turkey sausage patties, cereal, apples and make your own waffles. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Best feature? Trolley stop a one minute walk. Super easy to get downtown without a car.
Old Red. Crap food but good music
Worth the trip! Try the BBQ there. Delicious!
Expensive!
