Top Clearwater Creek Hotel Reviews

The Shaded Crest

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to stay if you are visiting Lake Lure! Highly recommend!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Marion NC

2/10 Terrible

"I’ve never stayed in such filthy conditions in my life. The walls and linens looked like literal crime scenes. Even the most basic swipes at cleaning have been ignored for so many years that there would be no reason to complain. Staff was nice but it was very difficult to get a 3rd and 4th towel (despite me checking in 4 people). i had to go to the office twice and beg. That said it was cheap-cheap so I guess I got what I paid for. A good value if you want a comfy-ish bed, an oversized tv, and don’t mind stewing in other peoples body fluids."

Quality Inn Forest City

4/10 Poor

"I feel bad leaving this review but want people to know what they’re walking into. The facility looks to have gotten a very superficial face lift. “Lipstick on a pig” if you will. Unfortunately the rooms smelled of smoke and mildew. It was not a great part of town from what I could tell. It is a motel that people appear to be living in. We ended up rebooking elsewhere. The management was very understanding and did provide us with refunds which was appreciated."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Marion by IHG

6/10 Okay

"The property was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful, but I asked for a Mountain View room and was given a wheelchair accessible room, and there was so much noise above me that it felt like they were doing construction or there was a gym upstairs. This was a little upsetting because I had a long bike ride in the morning and that was the reason why I stayed there"

Lake Lure Inn & Spa

6/10 Okay

"The reason I gave the Inn a poor rating on amenities was the bar was closed, the restaurant was closed, and the staff(which was excellent) was only on duty from 8 a.m.to 8 p.m. Lucky we didn't need anything as the rooms were well stocked, but if we did we would have to call and wait for a person to come help. I think that the Inn should have let me know they were on a winter schedule until Memorial Day and the bar and restaurant were closed. I probably would have booked somewhere else. It is a historic hotel and I understand the fixtures are old, but the toilet kept cycling and as mentioned no one was available to fix it after hours. Not a big problem but a little annoying. I will state once again that the two ladies at the front desk were friendly, efficient, and super nice. Thank you ladies."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Clearwater Creek?

The best time to visit Clearwater Creek is during the autumn months, from September to November, for pleasant weather and beautiful foliage, or in late spring, between April and May, for outdoor activities before the peak summer heat.

Autumn is particularly appealing for those who appreciate cooler temperatures and the natural beauty of changing leaves. The air is crisp, making it ideal for hiking and exploring the area's many trails without the humidity of summer. This period also often features local harvest festivals and events, offering a taste of regional culture.

Late spring offers warm, comfortable weather, great for outdoor adventures like kayaking on Clearwater Creek itself or exploring the nearby Appalachian Trail access points. The flora is in full bloom, and the wildlife is often more active. It's a great time for couples seeking a romantic getaway with opportunities for scenic drives and picnics.

While summer can be warm and humid, it's also a popular time for families due to school holidays, with plenty of opportunities for water sports and swimming.
