LOVE Banner Elk, MOTEL can use some work. The property itself is quite lovely, and in a great area. The rooms open to the outside and there are no elevators which can cause issue if you have a ton of luggage or have physical restrictions. The rooms are typical hotel rooms, beds are comfy, AC isn’t great, and hot water is unpredictable. They only clean the room if you stay more than 4 nights so towels and trash pile up. The towels are more like gauze so it takes a few per shower. Breakfast is decent but the nightly front desk staff could use some training on friendliness. We’d stay here again but it’s not a great value for the cost.

Comfortable room; very pleasant & friendly staff. Very nice breakfast bar. Perhaps could use a few bathroom additions. No Kleenex tissues; only 1 washcloth for 2 adults. It would be nice to have had a full set for each person(towel, hand towel &washcloth) We enjoyed our stay.
