Great location close to our family in Sylva. Very peaceful and quiet and being on river a nice bonus.

Great place to take the kids, nice river view, the river looks healthy and clean. This place is extremely family friendly, with a nice indoor pool. The lady who prepares the delicious hot breakfast is a sweet angel!

Per the pictures of what we could review we thought the River setting would be enjoyable for our friends/family each night. The river, the outside deck were great.....that said, the start to finish left us very disappointed for the cost overall

It was a very kid-friendly hotel. The staff was nice and extremely helpful. We especially enjoyed being able to walk out of the back door of the room and take in the beautiful view of the river. Normally people don't like hotel rooms near the pool because of the noise, but since we have two kids, we couldn't have asked for a better location. The pool closes at 10pm, so night time noise wasn't an issue. In a town where there are lots of shady hotels and motels to choose from, this one was definitely a gem and made the trip very enjoyable.
