It was a great stay, the hotel was in the perfect location for what we wanted to do. Room was very clean but the pillows bed was very wore out. The shower was nice and very hot water. Was told that the total for the 2 nights was $199.28 but when we checked in the total that we was charged was $207.25 not sure why?

The Economy Inn is my go-to anytime I make a quick trip to Sylva and western North Carolina. It’s quiet, clean, and easily walkable to the awesome shops and restaurants in town.

This is a great place to stay in a beautiful mountain town. Downtown Sylva is walkable from the hotel and full of dining and shopping options. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.

Comfortable night

The rooms are very clean, the linens looked new and pretty. The bed was comfortable. Nice rocking chair outside the room. Pretty view of the Lovely small creek behind the hotel. The couple at the check in desk were very nice. My sister and i would stay here again and i would recommend to friends and family.

This motel was an old building. Road in front was loud. No lobby. Had to ring a doorbell for service. The room was clean, but when I took a shower brown water came out of the faucet. There was no Wi-Fi. No complementary breakfast.

Basic

The property is very basic and clean enough. Beds are not very comfy but not terrible either. We wanted a cheap one night stay so it worked for us but we would not stay there again nor recommend. Electric outlets didn't work, AC was very loud and did not work properly (fan ran but it couldn't keep a temperature of 78!!) the sink area was caulked badly to keep disjointed pieces of countertop together. Water pressure was good, and the river at the back was a great view in the morning.

The room had an old cigarette smell, but was a non smoking room. It also did not have a smoke detector.

I felt very unsafe during my stay. I had people banging on my door and a man forced himself through my door to use the bathroom. The manager was no help. I left a day earlier than my check out because I was fearful of my life.

NEVER AGAIN

To start off, there was road construction going on outside the hotel all night. The bed in the room was uncomfortable to sat the least. It made a noise anytime someone sat on it or got up. The table in the room was very questionable. It wiggled and moved more than the mismatch chairs pushed up to it. There wasn't but one wash cloth and 2 towels in the room. When i went to the front desk to ask for more, the owner argued with me about how many were supposed to be in the room before giving me 2 more towels and 2 wash cloths. There was mold on the ceiling in the bathroom and the drywall was cracked in there. The water pressure was very low. Overall this was one of the worst places we've ever stayed at. I highly recommend not staying at this hotel.

Bugs, bugs, bugs. Cockroaches and mystery bugs. Ice bucket even had a bug in it. No reduction of price because of it. Night manager tried to squeeze me for another $20 upon check in. Picture shows nice stream in back of hotel, fail to show train tracks on the other side. Stay elseware.

Made reservation online. When making reservation it stated only one room left. Room was for two beds and total cost with tax was to be $264. When I checked in manager asked if I would take room with one bed. I said I would since I was traveling alone. Manager ran processed my credit card and put my things in room. I noticed I forgot to request receipt, so I walked back to office get one. I noticed then that I was charged $275 instead of $264. I also asked if room with one bed was less expensive than room with two and he said it was. I asked why did he process my credit card at two bed rate and then inquire if I would take room with one bed (plus $11 dollars over online reservation request). He then asked if I wanted room with two beds. I told him to forget it because I had already moved my things into room with one bed.
