Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bryson City

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bryson City

8/10 Good
"This was a pretty decent 3 star hotel. The room was comfortable, we chose the suite so we'd have somewhere to sit other then the bed. It was spacious. The bathroom was decent. The one thing I can say was a "negative", was that the toilet was crazy short. Like it was made for a toddler. Felt you were falling forever to sit down. The bed was comfortable, so were the pillows. The only real amenities you get while staying here is breakfast, which is nice. I was very pleased there were "healthier" options. However, there was no fresh fruit. On the website it states you can use the fitness center next door, but it does not tell you there is a fee attached to that. All and all, it was a good stay. Would stay again."
