Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites is a beautiful hotel directly on the river with gorgeous views. The property features a riverside patio with patio access, picnic tables, and Adirondack chairs or rockers to relax by the water. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, with plenty of TV channels. The hotel offers a pool area and hot tub, both noted as very clean. The complimentary breakfast is amazing and delicious, providing a great variety of options. Customer service is described as amazing. The location is close to great restaurants and shops in the cute towns of Dillsboro and Sylva, and it is not far from Bryson City, Cherokee, and other attractions. It is a charming and beautiful riverfront property, considered a gem and worth the drive.
Only giving a 4 star because our room smelled like someone had smoked a cigarette in it recently 😞 other then that this is an amazing hotel right on the river with a great hot breakfast and indoor pool and hot tub! We will definitely be going back!
