The place was great. However they would have earned 5 stars if it weren’t for the fact that the jacuzzi was broken and has been for months

Enjoyable stay

Great Stay in the Mountains! We really enjoyed our stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Sylva, NC. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location is perfect—peaceful but still close to restaurants, Western Carolina University, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and check-in was smooth and easy. Our room was spacious and quiet, with all the essentials we needed for a relaxing stay. Breakfast was good, with a decent selection—but we were a little disappointed not to see the famous cinnamon buns or pancakes! That said, there were still plenty of options to start the day off right. Overall, a great choice for a visit to the Sylva area. We’d absolutely stay here again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Family Trip

Staff was super friendl and accommodating. Our room was big enough for a family of 6 and we didn’t feel cramped. The breakfast was better than I was expecting. There’s only one elevator but it wasn’t too bad of a wait. Water was cold at 9pm but warm in the morning. We honestly really enjoyed staying there. Not too far from everything. Would definitely stay there again.
