If you had a problem with the size of your room, all you had to do was let us know and we would have gladly given you a full refund and re-rented to someone who would have enjoyed their visit to The Valley Inn. We know you checked in early enough to do so, because we do not check folks in at 1 AM. Given an opportunity we may have found you a room in Waynesville more to your liking. To address your concerns, and I have to assume I have the right party in doing this. We do not do 1 night reservations in October so it was easier to figure it out. There is a picture of room 43 ( king size bed) on our website so you had an opportunity if you wanted to view before booking. We have larger king rooms and we have smaller queen rooms. Rather, I believe you booked because we made a special exception for a Saturday night only reservation and upcharged you because it was a special event (National Clogging Championship) on a high color weekend. I imagine there would NOT have been another room in town available for a Saturday only booking at ANY price. So I guess no good deed goes unpunished. We just measured the ceiling to be certain and it measured exactly 8 feet. The electric heater was just checked out and found to be in good working order and not excessively noisy. This Inn was originally built as a ski lodge and the walls range from 8 to 10 inches thick and in 18 years we have NEVER had one noise complaint from an adjacent room. There is a room with a whirlpool tub on the opposite side of that room but it is highly unlikely for someone to use that between 1 AM and 6 AM which is the time frame you say you stayed. Also, about the parking, we do have a few limited parking spaces in the rear of the motel. This comes in handy for loading and unloading but not enough for all the creek side rooms upstairs and downstairs. They are on a first come first serve basis and frankly I think we may be the only place in the valley that has any parking on the creek side available. This in where I usually offer a free night for a future stay, but I feel that in your case, you had a bad evening and regretted coming on a premium priced weekend. Room 43 is actually one of the top 3 rooms requested by our frequent visitors so I must assume The Valley Inn is not for you.
