Neat old hotel. Very clean and helpful staff. Id stay here again but parking is very tight and if you go at the wrong time of day/season it will take you a long time because of the busy strip

The staff were very friendly. The rooms are outdated except for the bathrooms and a fridge would have been nice to have had. I would stay there again due to the price and location.

I like where the property was located, kind of central to many different things. I loved the large porch where you could sit in the rockers and I loved the entertainment that they provided on the front porch.

Room was clean, bed was comfortable, staff was friendly, breakfast was delicious. The only down side was probably to be expected in an older hotel: limited parking, room smelled musty, carpet was old.

Plenty of historic character. Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Try Howard's for dining (since 1946) with excellent dinners and local sourced mountain trout. Pork chop was also yummy.

Excellent location and very nice staff. Hotel is historic, so it does not have fancy amenities, but we loved it. It is clean and the breakfast was excellent.
