Each year that we attend Annual Conference at Lake Junaluska we make sure to reserve our rooms at this Econo Lodge because we always have clean, friendly service. A great place to "come home to" at the end of the day.

"Decent Hotel in Nice Area"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
The hotel was in a nice area and close to the wedding venue (reason for visit) the hotel felt safe and the front desk was nice enough to let us use the pool during their seasonal hours. It's not the fanciest place ever but it was decent for the price.
