The staff brought extra covers for the pull out couch making the girls very comfortable overnight. The room was fully equipped with all of the bathroom amenities as well. I would definitely recommend the hotel to others who are visiting the area. ##### Jose Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francisco Dec 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean rooms and attentive staff.

Area around hotel is more commercial businesses & not a lot of lighting. However the views of the river & proximity to Dillsboro & Sylvia are worth it! Hotel was very clean, beds soft & shower was excellent. Staff was friendly! ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Crystal Jan 11, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I have stayed at Best Western in Dillsboro NC many many times over the years. It’s my go to place. Clean rooms, the indoor heated pool and the atmosphere are just a few of the great amenities offered. The staff always welcome my family and I as if its our second home especially the breakfast staff. The view and access to the river make it even more enjoyable especially if you have children in the summer months. ##### Crystal Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa Nov 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved our room over looking the river.

I had a river view room with a balcony, but the building has an excellent design with a deck off the dining room with chairs and tables, so any guest can get comfortable and enjoy the view as often and for as long as they like. For decades I’ve stayed in numerous hotels per year for work annd play, and this one was the quietest. The layout is easy to navigate and the room had everything I needed, including a small fridge and microwave. ##### Cindy Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet Nov 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I LOVE staying @ this hotel!
