"The first unit I reserved had some issues - sliding door wouldn't open and logging into the TV, but the host moved us to another unit that was much better. We didn't know that places would be closed either due to it being off season or Easter weekend. We had to go into Banner Elk to eat and buy groceries. Just wanted to add that for people like us that don't travel to the mountains often. Overall we had a good trip, but I would stay in Banner Elk, Boone, or Blowing Rock next time."

Quality Inn & Suites Boone - University Area

8/10 Good
"Older hotel that has been kept very clean but the age is obvious. The room was quite large and clean; it had a couch, side chair and decent sized tv. I wish more viewing options/stations were available. One additional positive, the room was quiet with very little road noise. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is good, close to the older part of Boone with great highway access.. The price was excellent."
