For the area the hotel works. Definitely a good stay and the rooms are very clean. Also we usually do not eat Continental breakfast but after seeing how clean the hotel was we decided to. Food was pretty darn good if I might say so. Thanks for the good stay!

Friendly reception staff welcomed us warmly, offered coffee, and made us feel at home. Large room appointed with sofa, queen bed and desk with rolling chair was comfortable. Convenient location as this Best Western Mountain Lodge is on the main road between Grandfather Mountain and Banner Elk. Great choice--thanks!
