10/10 Excellent
"I was very happy with my stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Brevard. The room provided everything I needed. In the evening, I called the front desk for help with the TV remote control and the rep came right away, providing me with the correct remote and said he would advise Housekeeping that they had left the wrong remote. I only saw one bug and wish there was a grab bar in the shower, but the location was perfect and there is a Starbucks just across the driveway from the hotel."

"Great location for mountain travel and shopping in small towns. Very comfortable stay with just a few suggestions. Cushions on the metal kitchen chairs and a small fan to use on the porch to cool it off and keep bugs at bay. Would stay again."

10/10 Excellent
"This quaint, older home in the heart of Brevard was just what I was looking for. The interior was remodeled to new style fashions. Kitchen provided everything we needed for cooking, including a bag of ground coffee for guests. It was clean, comfortable, and in a quiet neighborhood. Also provided a launday room. Check in was easy, no problems. For older folks - it was a longer walk then what anticipated, into the downtown social area, but a few minutes away by car. I would definitely recommend this rental home if you're looking for adventure."
