What guests think

At PINE VALLEY MOTEL, guests describe a budget, older property under ongoing renovations, with convenient parking and location, but mixed room conditions and experiences ranging from clean and comfortable to subpar, depending on the room and stay.

Service draws contrasting feedback, with many praising friendly, helpful staff while others report absent check in coverage or poor responses to issues. Cleanliness ranges from very clean rooms to serious lapses such as stained linens, strong odors, pests, and wet floors. Rooms feel older with some upgrades; bed comfort varies (very firm or unusually high), and occasional maintenance problems like nonworking TVs or loose fixtures arise. Expect a simple, no frills stay that can differ notably from room to room.

I was checked in promptly. The staff was very nice and friendly. The room was sufficient and clean. It looks like they have done some upgrades on the property recently. I will stay here again when visiting family in the future.

Room was clean enough, bed was fine. Looks like renovation efforts are under way, but they have a long way to go. Equipment and materials are laying around all over. Very expensive for what is provided and the condition of the property.

Needs to invest some $$$ to make the outside appearance better. Don't waste $$$ putting wood timbers around trees. that does not improve the appearance. Only makes it look more tacky.

I will start by saying that we’ve stayed here in the past and never has it been in the condition it was this time. The place was nasty. The office smelled like moth balls. There was trash everywhere outside of the rooms and the place hasnt been kept up in quite a while. The facility lacked attention in all aspects. Multiple renters that i know of asked for more toilet paper and bath towels to which was an act of congress to get from the office. For the most part the rooms were clean. There were little things that needed attention like the towel hanger in the bathroom pulled away from the wall and the window curtains with duct tape. I do not recommend this motel to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Spruce Pine

Our room came with red satin sheets. Worse sheets to actually try and sleep on. Pillows and blankets slide off the bed as you try and sleep. Property is run down. Great place for workers to stay, not family.. Not cheap although it should be for what you get.

We were in room 24. Only stayed 1 night. First of all they charged us for our service dog. The toilet did work, had to flush the toilet 2 or 3 times to make it work. The manager said itbhas a filter thay needs changed every 10k flushes. Next, there were dead roaches and other bugs allnover the floor, see pictures below. The coffee pot was filthy, o ran to the gas station for coffee. See picture The water from the sink was cloudy, no way drinkable. Womens hygiene products on the floor under the bed, so gross. See picture below Was woke up by neighbors in the parking lot screaming and fighting 2 Rottweilers running loose in parking lot while i was loading my car so i couldnt walk my fog. Spoke to the manager about all the above issues and showed him the pictures. He was not interested and offered no apologies or remedy

The sheets were filthy dirty, they definitely were not cleaned. The bathroom hadn’t been cleaned very well. Electrical fixtures were taped together and the main panel was covered with plastic. The front of the building had a bunch of excess material that looked like garbage.

Shower had great water pressure but the warm/hot water became scalding hot randomly out of nowhere and burned my foot (see pics). Main room was ok but bathroom was filthy (see overhead fan vent). At checkout, no one was there to inform of issues, just a drop box and phone number.

The room was musty and covered up with a strong smelling fragrance. Water was standing on the floor in the bathroom and the carpet was soaking wet under the vanity. The maintenance man tried to vacuum the floor and carpet then put a heater on the floor. This made the room very humid and warm. I turned off the heater and turned on the air conditioning. I was worried about mold contamination but the manager said there were no other rooms available. I walked across the floor in my white Sox’s near the bed and the bottom of my soxs were dirty. Just not a pleasant experience over all!!!

Older style motel with modern upgrades. Plenty of electrical outlets where you need them. Comfortable bed. Great TV. Management that cares about your experience. There is access to a NACS charger (not listed as a Tesla destination charger) which is a major plus in an area that is a charger desert.

Price and location was right. Room was clean, stocked with towels, washcloths, small packets of coffee, sweeteners and creamer. Bed was a bit high off the floor for me, sheets and blanket comfortable. Some lighting fixtures in room did not work. Big screen TV was nice, WiFi was fast and always available. All in all I would stay there again.

This appears to be a family-owned business. There are active renovations happening (7/2023), so it will likely improve on the quality scale. It is conveniently located near downtown Spruce Pine and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The beds are too tall, but the mini-fridge and microwave were nice conveniences.
