Synopsys: This motel is older, the people are friendly, the staff was helpful, the rooms are small but very clean, they are also noisy, the beds are small and not very comfortable, very conveniently located, solid hot water but a poor 'hot breakfast'.
The Blue Sky Inn is a 'motel' in every sense of the word. It's right off the highway, you enter the room from the buildings exterior and you can hear the highway noise clearly through the walls. The price was not cheap. The building and rooms are old, but they are very clean. The people, both those who work there and those who are staying there longer term, are very helpful and friendly. The beds are small, just double beds not queen sized. They are also rock hard. Even the pillows were rock hard. I came with a family of four and all of us had a hard time sleeping on the beds. But the sheets and pillow cases were all very clean. The bathroom is tiny but the water pressure was good and there was plenty of hot water. It was also very clean. They advertise a "hot breakfast" and technically it was. They have a waffle maker and a Keurig coffee maker, which is the 'hot' part. They also have a small fridge with some sugar water fruit punch, some packets of peaches in sugar syrup, and a couple of blueberry yogurts. That's it. Fortunately, there are plenty of restaurants close by, It is located VERY close to Blue Ridge, so getting to and from the town was easy. They had a bonfire going in the back of the hotel the first night we were there and we met some very interesting and fun people. If you have ever stayed in a Hostel, you get the idea. read more
