We made a family trip to Bryson City to ride the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, and based on the reviews on tripadvisor, photos,and the price decided to stay at Lloyds. This was our first time to this area, and my parents had decided to go as well. We were not disappointed, the owners were very nice and courteous, the rooms... More

I just got back from a very nice weekend of riding motorcycles in the mountains with my family. We rented two rooms at Lloyd's and were very pleased with the accommodations and the service. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We parked our bikes right in front and then enjoyed cigars and drinks on the deck overlooking the river. Very quiet... More

We have brought my parents here. We have not been back for at least five years but this past weekend could not find... More

We used motel BBQ grill for a family day on the river again helping us to save money to visit Asheville and Cherokee. Management was attentive to our needs and the town was really friendly.... More

This is the worse place I have ever been. The carpet is filthy, the rooms smell, looks nothing like the pictures( the river does) they should really send the photographer a tip. I really do not believe the comforter was washed....ever. We went with a group and every room had a bad odor. The maid walked in on people never... More

We are sorry this guest was not happy with her stay. It's unfortunate she did not take the time to bring to our attention her concerns. We would have fixed the problem, moved her to a different room to her liking, or let her check out with no charges to her card. A hotel can not satisfy a guest if... More

I take my son to summer camp every June, and this year we chose Lloyds because of it's great location. It's very close to Bryson City, NOC, and Cherokee. The owner, Larry, was very nice and accomodating, and gave us great suggestions on restaurants in the area. Our room was spacious, clean, and opened up to a very pretty creek/river... More

My husband was hiking the Appalachian Trail and one of the places we were able to meet up was where Nantahala Outdoor Center has a portion of the trail crossover. We met there and then found Lloyds to stay in while my husband healed up and regained his strength. The Inn keepers were very, very kind. We kept extending our... More
