Hotel with historic charm

I've stayed here before and wanted to stay again. I love this historic hotel. We ate breakfast this time here, and it did not disappoint. I would definitely request a room with a view like i had on my first visit.

Review of Boone Tavern Hotel

The room was cold. Even though we pushed the thermostat up to 72 , the room was 69 this morning. Small room. Paid for a queen bed that was more like a full bed. Checking out, I was told there is very little difference between a full and queen.

A bit pricey but a better option than the chain hotels around the area. We were not impressed with the hotel dinner. Very limited and expensive menu. Carpet and room furniture needs cleaned. Temperature controls in room were not working.

Classy Classic Historic Hotel

Classy and classic historic hotel with very friendly staff. I love having my dog with me and I was able to have a cocktail with him on the veranda. My stay was simply a lovely experience.

We have wanted to stay at the Boone Tavern for a long time. The historic charm of the building was fantastic! Food was excellent. The only negative aspect was that the full size mattress was very uncomfortable and we tossed and turned all night.
