I think everyone overrates this hotel personally...the rooms are small and there was no bathtub in our room only a shower.....on the other hand though the staff were all extremely nice the food in the restaraunt was great. The couples massage was beyond amazing....I would definitely eat there or pay for services in the spa again I'm on the fence though about weather or not we would stay in the inn again.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is full of historice decor. The hotel was very clean. The staff were very friendly. The rooms at the inn are a little small, but very clean. Internet was free. View from my room was great-direct view of Lake Lure.

We came for a friends wedding which was lovely, The Hotel was built in 1927 and full of art Deco furnishings. The hotel has a very old world feel to it. The staff was great. We loved living in a part of history! Well worth the stay. Great Sunday Brunch as well.

We really enjoiyed staying at the Lake Lure Inn. They were very helpful and nice during the whole stay. When we checked in, we had a room in the inn, which would have been a little small for us with our baby's play yard, so they had us move to the motor inn portion. The rooms were much bigger with plenty of room for us. The rooms were very clean.
The location is excellent, right across from the street from the beach which made it easy to take the baby down or run up to the room to get something without worrying about walking through the old hotel in our swimsuits. Not that you have to even go tot the beach, with the nice old pool they have. It may not be new looking, but it is clean and nice to use just to cool off.
We wnet over 4th of July, and we got to enjoy their barbeque buffett. I thought it was going to be a picg picking, but it actually was a nice sit down meal with a lot of options, including several gluten free choices.
My only complaint was that, being in the motor lodge section, we had neighbors sitting out front of their room smoking. No matter what, some of the smell would waft into our room.
