Everything was great, very clean, very comfortable. It seemed like there was only one person that was taking care of the reception desk and the breakfast counter. She was working hard running around getting everyone everything they needed.

Checking in was easy, the lobby and room was clean. Went to bed with the A/C set low and in the middle of the night, it shut off. The room was crazy hot. For the rest of the night, the A/C would turn off and on. Made the stay horrible.

The only thing that was bad about my stay was the morning of check out when I went to get breakfast there was a bus full of Hispanics eating all the food and drinking all the coffee. I was there at 6a.m. When it opened and breakfast items were scarce.

I tried to reschedule this stay due to the effects of Hurricane Helene. I was told Expedia could not contact the hotel. So I was charged 100 percent of the reservation cost by Expedia, even though we never stayed there. In this area near Sylva all the schools were closing, and they were expecting major flooding. I would not use Expedia. Hilton let me change my reservation when the weather became bad there too, and we were able to drive back to GA. Use Hilton Honors not Expedia.

Nice clean hotel. Unfortunately, we booked and paid more than surrounding hotels for the purpose of using the pool and hot tub. Both were closed due to "chemical issues." I honestly don't think they should charge full price if their main amenity is closed. If we had been informed ahead of time we would have canceled and stayed somewhere else.
