Needed a room for 2 plus dog near the Blue Ridge Pkwy. The surprise charge of $75 (plus tax) for bringing our dog is NOT dog-friendly! This was our last stop on a 6-week road trip, and by FAR the most we had to pay to bring the pooch along (most properties charged $25 or less). In general, this hotel was very opaque about their charges. My credit card alerted me of two more charges after we checked in (after paying the base rate for the room when booking with Expedia). When I asked for an itemized bill, the nice woman at the desk was unable to enlighten me about what the charges (and a credit) were for. Given this, we worried about whether the wifi was complimentary. We kept being asked to join Hilton Honors when we tried to log on. Trying to call the front desk, we got a busy signal over and over again. So we gave up getting online. At checkout, I was told that we were supposed to get a special code from the hotel, but that was not part of the instructions on the sheet we received with our room keys.
