I was amazed by the vintage cherry king bed in my room and the thoughtful amenities provided. However, the shared kitchen downstairs was a great addition. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my stay very pleasant. The location, just off the blue ridge parkway, was convenient for exploring the area. I even got to try the fried fish at the recommended restaurant nearby, served with the same friendly smiles. The hotel's facilities were top-notch, offering everything I needed. The price was reasonable for the value received.
