I tried to reschedule this stay due to the effects of Hurricane Helene. I was told Expedia could not contact the hotel. So I was charged 100 percent of the reservation cost by Expedia, even though we never stayed there. In this area near Sylva all the schools were closing, and they were expecting major flooding. I would not use Expedia. Hilton let me change my reservation when the weather became bad there too, and we were able to drive back to GA. Use Hilton Honors not Expedia.

Nice clean hotel. Unfortunately, we booked and paid more than surrounding hotels for the purpose of using the pool and hot tub. Both were closed due to "chemical issues." I honestly don't think they should charge full price if their main amenity is closed. If we had been informed ahead of time we would have canceled and stayed somewhere else.
