Hurricane in the hotel
Left after staying 7 hours. Checked in, exhausted... I showered, ate, then after 2 hours decided to lay down and rest. It sounded like a Hurricane swept across the rooms. Banging, knocking, slamming doors, screaming for almost 3 straight hours. I got up, packed up and left after a whole 7 hour stay. So disappointed and really upset. Wouldn't have done any good to complain. I think a bus was outside so I'm sure a majority of the hotel was dealing with the same hurricane.

We enjoyed our stay over the Thanksgiving holiday! We were with family and helping as volunteers in WNC. The location is perfect and convenient. Check in was a breeze. Nice size clean room. Showing a few signs of aging (lament flooring was cracking right down the center of the room and paint spray all over the shower rod).
