This is a lovely hotel nestled on the side of the mountain and conveniently located across the street from the ski slopes, 3 minutes to Cashiers and 20 minutes to Highlands. It is clean and has a warm atmosphere for arriving guests. The breakfast is typical for Hampton Inns and complimentary, always a plus. These are the reasons to stay here. But... The indoor pool is beautiful for a Hampton Inn but chilly. The lobby is large and accommodating with its big stone fireplace but only one leather sofa. Perhaps they could add a couple comfy chairs. The beautiful lobby is only open during the afternoons and evening. Hotel-provided internet is available but cellular service is sketchy throughout. The night clerk can always be located in the business center on the internet but I watched her hand a plunger to a guest who had a clogged toilet instead of fixing it on behalf of the hotel. He was stunned as I was. Again, a beautiful hotel, warm atmosphere and convenient location. We used HH points and cash combo which turned out to be a great deal but they have a few minor hospitality kinks to work out. I would consider staying here again if they worked out the hospitality kinks.More
