Sweetbriar Farms Hotels, Lake Lure

"Internet was spotty. Very modern and clean room"

"We stayed in Garden Studio A and could not have been happier. It's a lovey, large room, well-appointed and with very comfortable beds. It's obvious the owners have put a lot of thought and effort into the rooms and the entire property, and they are great to chat with. We absolutely loved being able to step outside in the evenings and relax around the attractive gas fire. The little kitchen area and fridge gave us just enough space for evening snacks and drinks, and the grocery store was right down the road. It was very convenient to Lake Lure, and it was only about 25 scenic minutes to Tryon International Equestrian Center. We will absolutely stay here again! It really added a great deal to our trip."

"Excellent"

"I usually don’t leave reviews, but my experience at this hotel was so bad I feel compelled to share it to warn other travelers. I previously worked in the hospitality industry and understand you get what you pay for. I don’t expect a five-star experience from a budget hotel - just the basics: a clean bed, a clean shower, WiFi, and a mini fridge. I’ve stayed in many cheap hotels that met these expectations. This one did not. This was the filthiest hotel I’ve ever seen. There were large dark brown and red stains/globs all over the walls. The floors had severe water damage and was uneven and cracked. There was visible mold on the wall next to the AC unit. The peephole was busted out and had a Kleenex stuffed inside. Long black hairs were all over the bathroom counter and shower. The toilet was clogged immediately upon check-in and clearly hadn’t been cleaned as there were urine stains on the lid and seat. The comforter was covered in stains as well. When I went downstairs to notify the front desk, the lady there went into another room and slammed the door so loud that the windows rattled. I waited for 5 minutes or longer and she never came out. There are plenty of decent, affordable hotels available. There is absolutely no excuse for the condition of this room, and I’m shocked this property is advertised on Expedia. Don’t let the pictures they advertise fool you as the rooms look nothing like what is advertised - avoid this hotel at all costs."

"Rooms clean, staff was great,out door sitting was very nice, stayed 2 nights, could of emptied trash after 1st night "

"Great hotel to stop at on the way to Maggie Valley overnight. Easy in and out of the parking lot with a long trailer. Very polite and accommodating staff. "

"Clean and nice "

"The staff was very nice! The location is perfect for Lake Lure - it’s perfect for being by Lake Lure Beach. The parking is easy. It is an older historic hotel - tiny showers, thin walls, and it is looking a little weathered."

"Room was small but very nice and clean . everyone was very pleasant . Would stay there again when I am in the area ."
