Early Blue is a gem!!! Stunning views of the mountains. Crazy convenient to Saluda, Tryon and Hendersonville. Staff are friendly, and helpful answering any questions we had. We will definitely be going back soon! Can't wait to see the leaves change in the fall. Make sure to get a view of the mountains with access to the courtyard. You'll love it!

We stayed for only 1 night but everything went very well, nice quate location, beautiful view from hotel porch, room was clean, A/C a bit noisy and not cooling well, but for us it was OK. Overall it's a good place place to stay for a couple nights.

Not worth the money
Wasn’t worth the money. There is so pool, spa, or even a store to buy night snacks. Next time I will stay in a cabin.

Recommend this motel and view
We were very pleased with this motel. We didn't contact the owners until late in the day. They responded back promptly with arrangements for the room and key. The room was clean and ready for us with towels and a message to contact them if we needed anything. Very hospitable. Location was good, right off the road. This is an 'old-style' motel that the owners have modernized. They were currently upgrading some other units which was a positive thing to see. bonus was that we had an absolutely gorgeous view of the mountains in the evening out our back door. Recommend.
