Four Season’s At Beech

I stayed here with some friends during the GMHG last week. It was my first time here, and we found it and booked through Travelocity.
It’s definitely an older hotel, but everything was satisfactory. We stayed in a studio suite because we were cooking to save money on our trip. The suite had a large bed (don’t remember if it was standard or queen) and a sleeper sofa. My sister and I slept on the bed and the mattress was comfy but the pillows were too thin for my taste. It’s a little weird that there are no outlets directly by the bed but I’m guessing that’s because cell phones probably weren’t too big when the place was built. My friend slept on the sleeper sofa and had no complaints.
There is a desk, basic cable, a coffee table, and a couple of chairs. Two closets house linens for the sofa sleeper and some fans. The entire hotel also has free WiFi.
There was an apartment size fridge with small freezer which was nice. A small 2 eye burner stove top and microwave were included, with a kitchen sink and a small dishwasher (amazing!). Included in the kitchen cabinets were a basic set of dining dishes, some basic kitchen tools like a veggie peeler and spatula, and some pots. Definitely nice if you’re planning to cook your meals.
The bathroom is small but gets the job done. I noticed our toilet was slow-​flushing but never clogged. I did get stuck in the bathroom twice which was weird as there is no lock on the door. After a little persistence and jiggling I managed to get it open, so we didn’t have to call maintenance. The shower water can get very very hot so be careful!
There is no air conditioning but to be honest you don’t need it (even in July). The windows open and have screens so you can enjoy the cool night air and two box fans were included in our room. We had no trouble keeping cool even with daytime highs in the high 80s-​low 90s.
The front desk staff was super friendly and the lounge is nice and homey. I think they’re gone after 10pm though so I suppose that could be detrimental if there is some sort of problem.
Overall we had a nice stay and would return. The place is a bit old but the money was right ($ 315 total after tax and everything for 3 nights). The location is great too-​nice view, lots of small shops and restaurants nearby, and about 30 minutes from attractions like Grandfather Mountain, Boone, and just a little farther from Blowing Rock.

Came here for the weekend with the hubby and the Valle Crucis Fair. The hotel is quaint, Bavarian ski lodge feel. Our room was very clean except for the ceiling fan which was easily remedied. The Murphy bed was awesome and everything u need to stay forever. Very friendly front desk reception inn keeper, very funny also. We would so stay here again. Price was very reasonable on
like $ 79. We will return. Try the Mexican restaurant on premises get the chicken burritos are amazing. Its just a walk down from your room and their prices food and beer are reasonable. We suggest u bring ur own toilet paper (theirs is very harsh) and pillows. Bed is hard and their pillows are very very flat, not feather more like foam, we didn’t get much sleep but still enjoyed the room. States HBO but that channel didn’t work on the cable. But what more could you ask for.
