Top Hays Hotel Reviews

Red Roof Inn & Suites Wilkesboro

8/10 Good

"Room was clean but needs updating. Breakfast was ok, staff was friendly and helpful."

Americas Best Value Inn & Suites Independence VA

8/10 Good

"One of the nicest hotel staffs I’ve ever encountered."

Cozy Cabin w/Hot-Tub In The Beautiful Mountains of North Carolina, Pet Friendly!

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was clean and stocked so well! Our family had a great time. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals together, and the thoughtful touches—like extra towels and blankets, made it feel just like home. The beds were comfortable, and the space was perfect for both relaxing and spending time as a family. We especially appreciated how kid‑friendly the setup was, with plenty of room to play and unwind. The location was convenient yet peaceful, giving us the best of both worlds. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to other families looking for a stress‑free getaway."

Holiday Inn Express West Jefferson by IHG

8/10 Good

"The dead bolt lock on the door for room 215 did not work. Also the tv channels could use some improvement."

Alleghany Inn

8/10 Good

"This property is undergoing extensive renovation’s. But the rooms are very clean with excellent comfortable bedding and nicer towels than you find at big chain hotels. I’m sure when the Reno is done this place will be a gem for travelers."

Hampton Inn Jonesville Elkin

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet secluded place with great amenities and they added such a personal touch with 24/7 coffee, Hot chocolate, bananas, apples, cookies and popcorn. I’ve stayed in many places and none left all these complimentary items for the guests. Excellent hotel!!!!"

Hampton Inn Wilkesboro

8/10 Good

"Our room 108 was clean and very nice. The only issue was an obvious moisture problem; there was a portable dehumidifier running in the room and the room had a musty smell ... not very pleasant. The breakfast was amazingly nice with egg/cheese omelets, biscuits and gravy, sausage, make your own waffle, fruit and much more. Great coffee !!! The 2 young people taking care of the breakfast bar were fabulous ... doing a great job of watching over and replenishing things as needed. Kudos to these 2 young folks !!!"

The Cabins at Healing Springs

8/10 Good

"Would have liked to have talked to someone at some at some point. I always ask about places to see, points of interest, local hikes, etc. Also, an ice machine in the office would be a great addition. We enjoyed our stay. Very quiet and relaxing."

Quality Inn Jonesville I-77

10/10 Excellent

"Every thing was great. Staff very helpful. Only issues internet was slow and TV service was average. We will stay again."
