Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bryson City

8/10 Good

"The staff was great, very helpful when we had to bail from a nightmare VRBO rental. The breakfast offerings were pretty meager but acceptable. My mine issue was paying $44 a night to park in the motel lot. Mind you, this wasn’t in a city but in the middle of nowhere. Otherwise it was fine."

Two Rivers Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay. Staff was friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Firm mattress offered a great night's sleep. Family enjoyed the pool. Nice location for river scenery and quick trips to tourism."
