Restored motor inn nicely appointed and a minimalist fashion super cozy - one of our favorite places to stay in Boone. They don't offer breakfast. However, there is the stick boy kitchen that is a a 15-minute walk or 3-minute drive two blocks down the road. Can't wait for our next visit!😁

Started with the front desk staff. We were 9 minutes before check in time and we were told to “walk around” until the official check in time. When we returned to check in it was a shift change and two staff members took and additional 5 minutes to greet other ignoring us. The next member of staff was so hard to hear or understand. We paid a $50 pet fee and even though our dog was in a crate the cleaning service refused to clean our room. We then were charged a missing items fee because the items we stopped off the bed ourselves was

Many aspects of the motor lodge were good. It is situated on a very busy highway, which made for a lot of noise. The promise of a Mountain View was a little disappointing because the view was obstructed by a car dealership and other commercial buildings when we sat on our outside deck. The bathroom was clean and efficient, the bed was comfortable. The lobby was very nice. If you think you’re getting a motel on a wooded country road, you’re not. The stay was good for venturing out to see many cool things the area had to offer.

Cozy little spot

Had a decent time at Rhodes. The room was clean, everyone was friendly and it's a solid location. We were able to book with short notice with zero issues. Parking works nicely, and there's a fair amount of things around. We had a nice view of the mountains. My only complaint (sort of) was that our balcony was right above the vent for the kitchen for the attached restaurant, and it smelled strongly of grease so we didn't spend much time out there.
