Top Mountain City Hotel Reviews

Boxwood Lodge

Boxwood Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The bed was extremely comfortable. Overall, the room served well for the night and was well worth the hundred dollar price range. However, I would have liked to stay a second night but the Price jumped up to double. It is not worth around $200 a night. And the pictures they post are extremely misleading. The nice log home pictures that show up do not exist anywhere that I saw. This is more of an old style roadside motel than a beautiful long building."

Rhode's Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This property is both "retro" and modern, with lots of nice touches. The Over Yonder restaurant is located in the lobby, and it has very good upscale Southern fare. The only thing to note about this place is they don't have breakfast for free or for purchase, with the exception that the Over Yonder restaurant has brunch from 10 am to noon on Saturday and Sunday. There are fridges in the room, and a microwave in the lounge. This is a great base to explore the area, and has a lot of character. It's a lot more fun than a Comfort Inn or Holiday Inn type place (if you don't need a pool and gym and free breakfast)."
