Our keycard to the room never worked. Furniture in the dining room should have been replaced long ago. The area around the hotel felt very industrial and beside the river was not very pretty. The bed was comfortable, however the sofa bed was old and still had an uncomfortable and noisy spring mattress. The cushions on the couch looked like the had been redone, but they looked horrible like the my didn’t fit. The shower would stop working in the middle of taking a show, and the come back. Liked the coffee machine with all the different choices of coffee.

It’s a nice view over the river. We stayed one night after dropping our child off at Western Carolina. The drive into the hotel is kind of weird and run down but the hotel itself was nice. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. No complaints.

This hotel was right on the river and we had a balcony overlooking it. It was so beautiful and soothing to hear the river. We overslept both mornings so we didn't get to try the breakfast. We didn't get our room cleaned or towels replaced while we were there, which was only 2 nights, but I was surprised. Other than that, it was great!:I would go back just for the balcony on the river.

We had a wonderful stay at the Best Western Plus! Being right on the river was relaxing and beautiful. One recommendation - please add more towel hooks in the bathrooms. With four people in one room and only one hook, it's hard to hang them up to dry. Thanks for a great stay!
