Verified Reviews of Best Western Mountain Lodge at Banner Elk
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Kindness and empathy in the mountains."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
I want to express my gratitude to especially the manager at BW Mountain Lodge for her kindness. I had a family emergency and she inquired daily about it and gave me a greatly discounted rate as an act of kindness. I wasn't sure that level of kindness existed anymore. Praises to Shannon and her team. 🫶🏻.
