Top Lake James State Park Hotel Reviews

Chetola Resort

8/10 Good

"The spa was fantastic. The front desk staff were very helpful when they were there but several times no one was present. Also, the restaurant was never open while we were there. Even tried to go for cocktail hour and other people had drinks but the bar was completely unmanned while we were there. We waited about 10 minutes and then left. There was also patio construction going on outside our room. Overall the location and grounds were beautiful and would definitely go back"

Meadowbrook Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Meadowbrook Inn is within walking distance of so many stores, restaurants and a wonderful park. Parking was not an issue and the rooms were very spacious (we had a king suite) and clean. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful and even had a craft table near the lobby for the kids. Coffee bar in the lobby was nice as was availability of beer and wine to purchase. The pool was nice with towels provided. Will stay here whenever we are in the area."

The Lodge at Banner Elk

8/10 Good

"The place was clean and the room was nice. The bathroom was extremely small and you had to work around the door and the toilet to get in and out. The shower was nice though. The walkways were not in very good shape which took away from the aesthetics. Also, they texted and emailed way too much to basically say the same thing each time. Overall it was a decent place but maybe a little less texts and emails?"

Quality Inn Black Mountain-Asheville East

8/10 Good

"We only stayed 2 nights. It was cool and raining so we stayed inside mostly. Good location. The room and property was clean. The bed was comfortable. Loved the shower! Staff were very friendly and helpful. We did not get to try the breakfast but it looked nice and had a variety of options to choose from. Will definitely choose this hotel for our next visit."
