It’s a neat house and clean. Even though you are inside a house with other guests it was fairly quiet. There are not any televisions in the room so that helps keep the quiet. The linens aren’t very comfortable so bring your own if you’re gonna stay for more than a day or 2. The parking is easy and plenty of room. Overall very worth the price to stay. Will return.

The Herren House is an interesting property with a rich history. Close to downtown. Very clean. We stayed in the Bowman Room, which was conveniently located on the first floor. The beds were okay but not super comfortable. Lots of snacks & cereal for my 15 year old grandson. The courtyard is sweet but somewhat unkempt. We will stay again.

The room was clean and very comfortable. If you are looking for a hotel room with amenities like HBO this is not the place but it is a perfect stay for a history buff and someone who isn't staying in their room all the time. There are lots of restaurants nearby and plenty of things to add to your itinerary.

Stayed 3 nights

Did not see any staff during our 3 night stay. Someone did come by to fill up the coffee pods container for the Keurig and also clean the general bathroom downstairs but did not see her/ him. The place is old with squeaky floors, sticky doors and squeaky beds but overall it has a clean good size room and bathrooms, with ample free parking. All exterior doors and individual room doors auto lock itself. Great location for it is just a couple of blocks from downtown Waynesville in a good quiet neighborhood. Took advantage of the breakfast buffet at the Old Balsam Inn, about 7 miles away for less than $9 for 2. Same owners so you do get a good discount. Will stay here again next year. Already did a reservation.
