It was exactly as described. Cleaned room, comfortable bed and pillows. The property in general is outdated but cozy. It is centrally located. We visited GFM and after a whole day hiking, we were happy it was just what we needed.

The outside of the property was beautifully landscaped. I loved the way the lobby was decorated with Scottish decor. There was a lot of food to choose from for breakfast and the dining room was large. The hotel room was clean and comfortable.

This was our first time traveling with pets and this property was solid. We had easy access to their area out back for them to go potty. The included breakfast was as good as you’ll get for included breakfast— sausage and biscuits were solid. Very convenient to Sugar Mountain and also Beech Mountain. The rooms are accessed from the outside and that area requires you to be cautious so you don’t slip. Overall, exactly what we needed.

This property had a very comfortable and western theme to it I really enjoyed. It was the cleanest hotel I have stayed in for years! I was really impressed not only with my room but with the whole property cleanliness! The breakfast was very good too! The people were great! I will stay there every time I visit Sugar Mountain and highly recommend it to everyone!
