Lake Norman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed here for 5 days and every day the staff was excellent in helping with whatever we needed. The walls are kinda thin but they provide the room with a white noise machine, which was great! The restaurant on site made it so easy to have a few drinks and dinner. Definitely will be looking at staying here again in a few months!"
