The Mountain Lodge at Banner Elk is a well-maintained hotel with a welcoming staff that makes guests feel at home. The rooms are dated but well-kept, and the hotel offers a free breakfast, though it may be considered average. While the hotel's location near the mountains makes it a popular spot for skiers and snowboarders, the hotel's rates are described as very good. Some guests have noted that the hotel needs maintenance and room updates, but overall, it provides a comfortable and affordable stay with great customer service. The hotel's proximity to Appalachian State University, about a 20-minute drive, also makes it a convenient option for those visiting the area.
Loved it. Great little get away. Clean and the breakfast was good also.

It's a nice place to stay if you're looking for a place that gives you breakfast and a nice room. Though I must warn thee that thy shower is quite powerful. There is a pretty view, I think, though I can't tell because of the fog surrounding this area. Breakfast is pretty average, if I may say so myself.
