SC Travelers

Nice area and clean. When booked we were under the impression that our room would be river front because that’s what we chose when booking through Hotels. We immediately went to inquire about this. They made us feel third rate because “we booked with a third party (Hotels) and we didn’t qualify for that. Don’t think I’ll choose Hotels or Best Western again.

We love it here. Our daughter goes to school down the road so we always stay here. It's very nice and quiet. We love to sit outside and watch the river.

Fantastic view of the Tuskaseegee River

The location of this hotel on the banks of the Tusk river is incredible. The facilities are great. The room is large, with a sitting area and sleep sofa. Free wifi, great TV, refrigerator an microwave. Located in or very near the quaint towns of Sylva and Dillsboro.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was located in a quiet area but close to restaurants, shopping, nature and the university. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The hot breakfast was good every day we were there. The water was hot with good water pressure. We would stay again if in the area.
