"Great Location"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Rooms were very clean. Furnishing outdated but very comfortable. The staff was friendly and all went out of their way to make you feel welcome. They accommodated us with extra pillows and the girl at the breakfast bar was extremely sweet.

Overall Score2.0/ 5
On Thursday evening May 20, 2021 I checked Hotels.com for prices of the Best Western Mountain Lodge at Banner Elk, NC and found a price of $102.00 for two people. I decided to call the motel direct and talked to a clerk who had a bad accent. Apparently he didn't understand English any better than he spoke it. After giving him my name two different times and then spelling it out such as E as in Edward, L as in Lee, etc. After each letter of my first and last name he said "I got it" each time. I also gave him my email address for confirmation purposes. Then he told me the total for the three nights I wanted in July would be $467.94 ($120.99 per night). When I questioned him about the rate he didn't really have a good explanation at first and then said it is due to extra sanitation because of the pandemic. I went ahead and booked it. After not getting a confirmation in half an hour I called Hotels.com to see what their rate was. Then when I checked with Hotels.com I was told I had a reservations for the three nights I requested in July, but the name was under vildin sholfer instead of my name Elvin Childers. Also the email address wrong was why I didn't receive the confirmation. I was told the only way to change the name was to cancel the reservation and make a new one. She went ahead and cancelled the reservations for the three nights in July. In the meantime when checking the rate, I found I was booked for the night of day I made the call (May 20, 2021) in addition to the requested July dates. This was about 10 PM that night. I wanted that cancelled also since I was in Chattanooga and didn't have any way to get to Banner Elk, NC that night. I called the hotel and was treated rather rudely by a lady I assumed was the manager. She said I would have to cancel through Hotels.com and abruptly hung up on me without hearing my explanation. Hotels.com called the next morning and said she did everything she could and you wouldn't cancel the reservation for the night of May 20th and this morning I see I am charged on my credit card for $119.77 for May 20th the night I didn't stay there. The three nights' reservation in July was cancelled under Itinerary No. H3672761 After being treated this way I decided to stay at a different motel the three nights in July I plan to be in your area. Our son, who is also going with us, will also make reservations at another motel. I would Never recommend the Best Western Motel in Banner Elk to anyone and my friend, who we plan to visit, will be told about this experience and suggest he recommend another place to stay when people come to visit him overnight. Therefore, under the circumstances I am requesting you remove the $119.77 from my credit card.

Overall Score3.0/ 5
I went through a third party to make reservations. I was told that there was a full hot breakfast which was my diciding factor for which hotel I was choosing to stay at. There was no hot breakfast and there was hardly any breakfast to choose from at all. Rite off the bat the toilet was not working and conditioned to get stooped up and had to keep a plunger in the room. We didn't e bgg en get the room that we had reservations for. Would not stay again or recommend any one to stay their. Also we were told that they didn't have hardly any rooms available and I saw at least 25 rooms that were empty the three days that I stayed. Very disappointed!
