Find 2 Star Hotels in Newland, NC from SAR 237

"On the main drag, 1/2 mi from US221 S toward Asheville, about a mile from US441 east to the NC piedmont. I thought the Rhodes was great. Loved the way the room was trimmed out, suited me perfectly. You gotta want something a little different to enjoy the place; some will find the hiker chic a tad underwhelming. Thought the lobby was wonderful, the bar and restaurant look nice, didn't get a chance to eat there. Somebody took an old motor lodge from the postwar boom and updated it very well. Mountain views, smack in the middle of everything Boone. "

"Our stay was excellent until literally the last moment. Check out was 11am. We left at 930am to grab a coffee and visit a couple of local shops. Returned back to the room at 10:53am and the cleaning lady was in our room with the door wide open. Our belongings were in the room and about 10 people who were in the parking lot obviously going into their rooms were right at our door. Initially, we had wanted to go back in and freshen up, grab our things and check out. I questioned the young lady and she said “I hope you’re not mad”. Uh really?? Grabbing our things and leaving without getting to freshen up and check any we may have in the room, we inadvertently left food in the fridge that we had definitely wanted to take with us. I will rethink my decision to stay here again. "
