Stayed here whilst attending a course at the hotel. Hotel was good value for a simple clean and comfortable room. Hotel staff very friendly. Enjoyed a great lunch served in the restaurant. Crab soup excellent.

Stayed here for a ski trip during the Winter. Beautiful place. The hotel is nice and quiet. Just down the street from Sugar Mountain. It was very clean and nicely set up. The lobby itself felt homey and warm. The only thing that was a set back is that the water from the shower was not hot enough. Overall the... More

take yourself back to the 80s in this self-styled 'homage to the past'. No wifi, no flat screen TV, no more than one glass of wine in each bottle in the bar, no sense of humor in reception. The only upside was the proximity to the ski slopes. Badly needs a makeover.

Great price for close proximity to slopes. Room was updated in the last couple of years. Perfect for just a clean room to crash in after a day on the slopes.

We decided to stay at the BW BE for it affordable price and the great location. Just a few minutes to several different shops/bars/restaurants in the area along with Sugar Mt. The staff was very nice (considering it they were coming off the busiest weekend they had all season). The rooms are comfortable and the beds are nice also. Small... More

Our room was facing the pool, although apparently the pool is only seasonal since it was closed this past December. Room was very clean and spacious. Location was very good, close and convenient to everything. We ate breakfast every morning at the hotel and it was definitely worth the $7 for the buffet.

We were there to ski Sugar and didn't want to spend a lot on a hotel. In this case I really feel that we got a bargain. The room, though small, was very nice. It was updated, clean and very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We chose a room with two twin beds which were incredibly... More

Great staff. Extremely accommodating to our entire family. Our son has asthma and we actually had to move rooms twice. Every time, the staff helped us out every step of the way. The hotel is conveniently located in downtown Banner Elk close to Sugar mountain. We are definitely staying there again!
