Banner Elk Ski Hotel

"Everything was easy checking in, room was clean and had everything we needed"

"I only checked two boxes for the search filters, kitchen and fireplace. I did not learn until I called the property to let them know I would be checking in after hours, halfway through my 6 hr drive to the property, that the fireplace was not working. I double-checked the original posting, and there was nothing stated about the fireplace not working. The property is older and a little beat-up, but it is clean and has plenty of towels and extra blankets if needed. The photos show one view of the living room, which is nice, but when you see it in person, there’s nothing else there. There’s just a hollow, empty feeling to the place. It’s not decorated to give a cozy moubtain feeling. The large, nice mountain stag artwork in the living room has an oddly overly ornate frame set at an odd position on the wall as if the rest of the furnishings recently abandoned it. The place just seems neglected and sad. There is a weird smell in the bedroom, like sweaty man odor. The mattress on the lamp/left side is deeply furrowed. The upstairs neighbor walking/moving about noise is extremely loud. I had to put on grey noise on my phone to try to block it out. It took a minute to figure out, but the heating does work. The balcony has a beautiful view. The kitchen has all the basics, but bring your own salt, pepper, spices, or olive oil, etc. The staff in the main office is very friendly and helpful."

"We enjoyed our stay. The pet freindly staff and facilities were great! Room was comfortable and clean."

"Muy facil acceso, el personal súper amable, un hermoso lugar para pasar un fin de semana en familia!"

"Very courteous staff. The place is very dated but it's a good value for being so close to Beech Mtn (10 mins) and Sugar Mtn (25 mins) ski resorts. Room was well equipped with a mini kitchen and everything necessary to cook (Stove, pots and pans, boiler, toaster, cutlery, plates, bowls...) Quiet despite the proximity to the busy road, easy parking. Room is very dated and there were a couple of stink bugs I could have lived without."
