Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites
No fault of hotel, but during week days there are constant noisy large dump trucks going to and from a near-by rock quarry during normal working hours across the river.

Room was very nice, and clean. Felt comfortable and slept well during my stay. Coffee was good, breakfast was decent. Overall was a pleasant experience and definitely would stay again next time I'm in the area!

Mountain Valley Inn Dillard
We just needed a place for the night so wasn’t wanting much; however, the app reviews were skewed. Bathrooms moldy. Nonsmoking room filled with smoke smell. Continental breakfast was bread/toast, yogurt, packaged donuts, or cereal. We went to a great breakfast place down the street.
