Happy Days in Sylva
Single traveler for a local bike tour. Could not be happier with location in town with great access to food and other activities. Bike tours start across the street. Room was clean, updated bathroom and a rocking chair on the porch. Staff was helpful and cordial. Was a happy camper without the tent.

Perfect location. Walking distance to all you want to see and dine. Courteous staff. Room was spotless. This may be silly to some but best water pressure of any hotel room in last 40 years!

We loved our quick stop in Sylva. I loved that there was a code and no key. The communication via email and text was wonderful. The room was spotless and very accommodating. The rockers were a terrific way to rock away the stress of traveling. If you want comfort and quiet, this is the place.

Exactly as pictured! I would recommend requesting a room on the Main Street side. We were on the opposite side and the road noise was too much even with our sound machine.
