Let me tell you about the Country View Inn well let me begin with this it is an out of the way Motel that on its best night is probably worth at most $39.95. That being said this past weekend Labor Day Weekend to be exact they charged $450.00 four 4 nights yes you heard me right FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY!!! With that you would expect a mini fridge, wet bar, or at the very least maid service, HBO and a hot shower. Now that I have set the stage let me tell you my story. My brother his wife along with my wife and myself show up to the "Bates Motel" on the hill. When I walk in to check in I am approached by what seemed to be a nice country couple who I assumed ran the place. I settled my bill got the key to the room and after a little idle chit chat headed upstairs. When I got to the room the first thing I noticed as I approached was the hideous sounding air conditioner. Upon entry I was well this defiantly isn't gonna be the greatest stay so I grabbed the remote to the TV and got 3 channels at best. So with that I just decided you know what as long as I got a clean room and a hot shower I will be satisfied. So first three nights it was just that then on last night there got to the room and nothing no beds made. So I go downstairs and ask what happened and I am told "there ain't no maid service unless you pay for it!!!" I then say I have been here 3 days and there has been on those days so what gives? He then yells I own the place and he goes and gets the elderly couple that I had done business with. So the long short of it is that they refused maid service on the last night said it was t included but there is no where that is stated so I say look just refund me for the last night and I will find another hotel. The owner quickly tells me "look at that sign" there will be no refund!! You know in hindsight it was there intention to screw me over from the beginning. You see when I checked in I asked if I could pay half now and half tomorrow they were reluctant but said yes. So once I settled the bill no more maid service. It is my personal opinion that a business that operates in that manner will surely not be in business long!!!
The place was awesome for the money. Very affordable and the staff was very helpful and curtious. You can not beat it for the price.
I thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The room I had was a little small, but for the price it was well worth it. It's family run, they live on site, and they're some of the nicest people I've ever met. If you're traveling south, spend the night here and then take the trip down i77 in the daylight, the view is breathtaking going down the mountain.
A BEAUTIFUL.. Place.. And the owners are absolutely amazing! The price is way less than what it should be.. Very reasonable and quiet.. If you happen to pass through please stop here.. You want regret it! It feels like a home!
We stayed here last October right after Hurricane Matthew came through. They were the only hotel that had vacancies and we got a flat on the way up and we're driving on a flat. They gave us a room AND patched our tire so we could make it home to NY. The guy who runs the hotel is the nicest person ever. He didn't even ask me to pay for fixing my tire. If I ever have to stop on my way to or from GA again, it will definitely be here. Thank you so much for everything you did for us in our time of need.
I very much enjoyed staying there.came back for a visit after moving away from the area.made me feel right at home. The owner is very nice. Each room has its own unique feel to them.there are so many beautiful sights to see around there. I Will be staying next time along with my son an dog. And they both enjoyed very much as well.
The price is "by far" the most reasonable in the area. While the rooms are older, they have always been clean in my multiple stays at this establishment. Everything has always worked in the rooms I've stayed in. Also, each room is individually decorated with some creativity that actually provides a warm and comfortable feeling. I first stopped at this motel because of the price, now I just stay there when I'm in the area because I enjoy staying there. I have found the owners or employees that I have spoken with to be very courteous and it shows that they take pride in what they do. It is also located in close proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway, several great bluegrass venues, and a beautiful little park called Devil's Den (a few minutes drive away).
