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.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sylva - Western Carolina Area by IHG
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.
