Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a great place to stay for activities in and around Banner Elk. Location is very convenient to Beech and Sugar Mountain. Our room was very clean and comfortable. A hot breakfast was included and was very good.

Hotel's Favourite
This hotel has been around since I was a child, and owned by several brands over the years. When I was in high school it was a Holiday Inn. We tried to stay there one night. We walked in the room, and walked back out, and got a refund. I've avoided it ever since. It got such great reviews I decided to try it since I had my dog with me, and I'm glad I did. I was absolutely shocked by how much I loved it! I travel often, but this was my first time staying at a Best Western in years. I travel with my dog, and am trying out different pet friendly hotel brands. The lobby is very clean, and nicely decorated. Roni at the front desk is a true asset to the hotel. She talked to me like we'd been friends for years, and made sure I had all the important info I needed about the hotel, and everything I needed to know since I had a dog with me. She truly went above and beyond. It's obvious that she really cares about her job, and her guests, and that's very rare to find in the hospitality industry anymore. The hotel is older. Probably 30+ years in my estimation. The only area that showed a bit of it's age was the railings, and walk ways. Other than that the exterior was immaculate. Our room was incredibly clean, and comfortable. It was also very quiet. I noticed that they were taking the shower curtains out of every room to wash them along with the bedding and towels which was really nice to see. I was absolutely shocked at how much I loved this hotel given our experience there years ago when it was owned by another brand. It easily became my go-to hotel for Banner Elk/Boone.

Free breakfast, immaculate rooms, wonderful staff, and great pricing! This is my go to location in the area whether it's a family, friends, or business outing! A stay here beats paying an arm and a leg for an AirBnB or house rental. Great location for Sugar Mtn summer or winter and only a short drive over to Beech Mtn. The staff here knows all the best places to go and have all kinds of discounts at area restaurants, resorts, and shops available to their guests. The pool and grounds are always immaculate in summer and the parking lot and walkways are always well managed and safe in winter! If you're coming up to spend most of your day on the mountain, skip the $1000 cabin rental and make the Best Western your mountain HQ!

Unfortunately did not live up to our expectations. The internet is really bad. Breakfast was just ok with not enough cold cereal selection and the hot food not hot. Rooms are average nothing outstanding but for the money paid I would look elsewhere. On the positive check in ladies were amazing and extremely helpful - absolutely faultless.

Cannot say enough how much the front end staff went above and beyond to ensure we didn’t have to sleep in the truck with our pups after being turned away by a 3rd party reservation that was mistaken about another hotel’s pet policy.

We stayed for 3 nights. It was clean and affordable. The lobby was nice and cozy. Rooms were motel style which meant that if you are on the 2nd floor, you need to carry up your luggage. It also means you can park in front of your room. Our room felt on the small side, but we did have our ski stuff with us. The staff all seemed very friendly. The breakfast was good, and the attendant was extra helpful. He was friendly and working hard to keep everything refilled and cleaned. The location is minutes from Sugar and Beech Mountain.

For the nightly rate I would expect to stay in a room which is much more comfortable. As a recommendation, take out what looks like 30 year old well worn carpet and install luxury vinyl plank, porcelain, or ceramic floors.

Room needs to be updated. It smelled musty. Internet was very slow. No housekeeping service provided unless you requested it but yet there was a card left by a housekeeper requesting tips. Tips for what? Tips for not cleaning my room? What an insult.

This is a nice and charming hotel, the location is okay. It is a small drive to Banner Elk. Parking is free and there are enough spaces. Our room was spacious enough, but the bathroom was a bit small. Minor: towels are really thin and the amount of shampoo / shower gel that is provided is way too little for two people. The rooms are a bit motel style. Be aware, there is no elevator at this place. We had to take our suitcases up the stairs. There is a pool in the center of the hotel and they have a small gym. Overall : we've had a nice stay, but hopefully they can upgrade the minors we mentioned. Would be an improvement.
