We have stayed at Hotel Sylva several times, but this was the first time with the current owners. We love the upgrades made to the rooms - walk in shower, large vanity area beside the.sink, new furniture and in room Keurig. The property is right downtown with shopping, restaurants and bars all an easy walk away. Friday night they had music in the park across the street which was an added bonus. The check in was contactless so we never interacted with the staff face to face, but they responded quickly when I had a question about the room prior to our arrival.

We loved our quick stop in Sylva. I loved that there was a code and no key. The communication via email and text was wonderful. The room was spotless and very accommodating. The rockers were a terrific way to rock away the stress of traveling. If you want comfort and quiet, this is the place.
