We pulled in the parking lot and left. This hotel should not be listed on Expedia. Nasty is all I can say.

It was a great stay, the hotel was in the perfect location for what we wanted to do. Room was very clean but the pillows bed was very wore out. The shower was nice and very hot water. Was told that the total for the 2 nights was $199.28 but when we checked in the total that we was charged was $207.25 not sure why?

Love the veiw out the back window! But the room was very small. It would suit the "normal" traveler very well. And though the property was very clean, it is dated. It's a quaint roadside motel, and I was happy that we stayed there. Just wasn't ready for the limited space.

The Economy Inn is my go-to anytime I make a quick trip to Sylva and western North Carolina. It’s quiet, clean, and easily walkable to the awesome shops and restaurants in town.

This motel was an old building. Road in front was loud. No lobby. Had to ring a doorbell for service. The room was clean, but when I took a shower brown water came out of the faucet. There was no Wi-Fi. No complementary breakfast.
