You could practically see through the door to the outside, there was no matress cover, it did smell and it didn't seem clean at all. Unlike most reviewers, I thought the guy behind the counter was a pot head; meth didn't enter my mind but I am naive! The secure door was my favorite of all the amenities.

The room was filthy! There were dust bunnies hanging from most of the ceiling. The chair was stained. I was afraid to look at the bed sheets. Light could be seen around the entire door frame suggesting that is was not sealed and probably not terribly secure. There was no remote, we called the front desk for one but never got. We could not even get the tv to turn on manually. Our neighbors tv worked---because we could hear it through the paper thin walls. We could also hear the neighbor's ENTIRE conversation, EVERY word. It was like they were in the room with us. I have to tell you this is the worst hotel/motel I have ever stayed. My gut when we first opened our door was "go back get a refund and get out of here". I should have trusted by gut!!!

We checked in having had 2 rooms reserved for us by volunteers. The rooms were dirty, one room had trash in it, no clean towels, the beds were unmade and dirty and the smell in both rooms was horrendous.
Luckily we reserved a room at a much nicer hotel for our attorney colleague who was attending the same event in town we were.
As board members of a state non profit organization, you would think the staff would at least attend to make amends in some way, but they even refused to give us a discount for the dirty rooms, stating they had offered two disabled men an upstairs room in exchange!!!!
We know now WHERE NOT TO STAY IN BOONE!!!!!!

Visited for Gr. Mtn Scottish Games.
Not the worst experience that any reviewer had...but close.
- Used underwear on bathroom floor. Nice.....
- When I checked at desk for a phone book (none in room), the meth-addict on duty shrugged and said "Dont' got none". I just then noticed a pile of at least 100x DEC '08 local phone books under a nearby table.
- Can confirm "that smell". Hopeful nobody bitten by bed-bugs.
"* Would you recommend this hotel to a friend?" Yes. but only as a practical joke....
