Hotels near Museum of Haywood County History at the Shook-Smathers House in Haywood County

Stayed here with my wife for two nights while hiking in the area. This hotel is standard for most 2.5 star, national chain hotels, in that it is clean and has comfortable bedding (mattress, pillows, and linens). Yet we gave this particular motel higher than average marks in it’s breakfast offerings, it’s front desk service, it’s proximity to plentiful restaurants for lunch/dinner, and it’s landscaping, which includes tables and rockers under shade trees. Value for the dollar is quite good. If we could give it 4.5 stars we would have.

Waynesville is about half-way in-between Asheville NC and the road into Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As such, it is nice city to stay in for those who want to visit both places, or need a place to rest while headed to either. The latter was the case for me and, even though I was just looking for little more than a bed with a roof over it, I was pleasantly surprised at what a good value this was. First thing to know: the road to this motel is easy to miss -- after exiting from Highway 74 and going north on Highway 276 towards Lake Junaluska, you turn left almost immediately onto Phillips Road. There's a traffic light at this intersection; and you'll see a Little Caesar's pizza store there. Continue on Phllips until you get to Collier Lane, on which is the driveway to this place. Second thing to know: the driveway is pretty steep, and will probably not allow large trucks or RVs to drive up. If you can make it up in your RV, fine; but don't say I didn't warn you! My room featured full bath, phone, AC, radio-alarm, microwave, fridge, iron & board, coffee maker, hair dryer, and TV with scores of channels. It was quiet, clean, & well-maintained. Most rooms had balcony, with chairs, permitting views of the town & the mountains behind it. Staff was professional & efficient. Free amenities include parking, wifi, pool, and a continental breakfast buffet. The highway exit has several restaurant chains. This is good value for the amenities provided in such a beautiful location.
