No room service. They have take out but it comes in boxes. You order at the bar and take the carton to your room. You have to eat out of the carton since no plates were provided. Had no choice. My wife hurt her feet hiking and could not walk and go to the dining room.

Super stay of 5 nights over the July 4th weekend. Room was on 2nd floor facing the town. Afforded us with great view, nice cool morning and afternoon, evening breeze. Were able to view from the balcony the parade on morning of the 5th and then a surprise viewing of fireworks display from a nearby location, all from the balcony. We mostly came up for the cooler air, but got so much more. Hotel has only one guest elevator that was out of service for a few hours. We went out and upon returning found it was repaired. Great job to the management for getting this attended to so quickly. Just a couple of suggestions. First is to get the main entry doors on automatic electric openers. This really should be a priority, comifrom someone that has been involved in hotel construction for many years. 2nd is, and trying to be picky, but the young lady that was attending the bar really would be so much better with a smiling attitude towards the guests. She always appeared to be so busy that it was too much trouble when asked for assistance. Yes, she did the job, but given the bar is a prominent focal point when entering the hotel, the attitude displayed is very much also a focal point. Food for thought. Thank you for a wonderful time. We will return.

Beautiful property. Great location. Enjoyed our stay. Will stay again. Just a few suggestions. 1. The office and registration desk lacks adequate signage to indicate their location. 2. Ramp at entrance to lobby is needed to do away with step up. 3. Notify guests at checkin that room key is needed to operate elevator from first floor. I know there is a small sign in the elevator but it could be and is easily and often overlooked. .

Hotel smelled like wood-burning fire. The smoke from the fireplace at the ground level was even noticeable on the 3rd floor hallway and in bed. The window a/c-heater sounded like a loud propeller 2 feet away from the bed. I could not sleep. Otherwise, the location is great, directly off Main Street w all the shops. The staff was super nice and accommodating. The restaurant food was good. The bar and restaurant area was nice. But I would not stay there again due to the smell and noise.

The place was just alright. Modern and newly built. Self parking lot was convenient and made arrival and departure very easy. Nice little dining/bar area with a fireplace. Coffee and tea provided in the morning. Breakfast was offered. They do advertise a restaurant but the menu was small and not impressive. This hotel is advertised as one of the highest end options in town. Yes, the hotel seems new. Adequate for a short stay to check out the town and close enough to Boone to drive there when needed. I don't think I will stay here again but glad I gave it a try.

The high ratings on most travel sites for the Embers are well deserved. We found the hotel to be very clean. Ben and Thomas at the front desk were both very courteous and helpful. The only negative was jackhammering in the middle of one night by the NC DOT. But that’s not the hotels fault of course. The restaurant on site is excellent as well as the service. Will be returning!

For a hotel the restaurant/bar was excellent. I appreciated the keycard requirement to use elevator but that fact was never revealed at check-in. I had to rely on another guest for help. Also, a bag of trash from the cleaning crew was left in our room from the previous guest. It was a very nice room with a great bed and shower.

We had a great stay here. Staff was very friendly, it’s clean, nice bar area. As others mentioned, the heating/ac unit has a mind of its own. The temp you set it to is arbitrary. The same temp can be way too warm or too cold. Lots of noise from the room above ours so next time I’d get a room on the top floor. Would definitely stay again.

The front desk person from 3 pm until 11 pm, probably should consider a different career given the obvious torture she appears to be in at work.
