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

For the price, this hotel was fine. Outside does not look great but the room was clean. When trying to check out, I could not find anyone despite ringing the bell.

Wouldn't stay there again. Air conditioner noise kept me awake. Light over shaving mirror out. Century old motor inn. But at least it was clean.

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 is a great place to stay in a beautiful mountain town. Downtown Sylva is walkable from the hotel and full of dining and shopping options. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.

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.
