Some complaints about cleanliness/housekeeping
No restaurant or bar
Less than a mile from
Appalachian State University, the Baymont Inn & Suites is a budget chain hotel with
96 spacious, generic rooms with microwaves and mini-fridges. A free breakfast buffet
with make-your-own waffles is served near a fireplace, and there’s a small fitness center, as well as an indoor pool and hot tub.
There’s no restaurant or bar, and some guests complain of inadequate housekeeping. The hotel offers a fair rate for the accommodations, though it'd be worth comparing rates with the nearby Quality Inn & Suites, which offers clean rooms and a free buffet breakfast.
Scene
Budget chain hotel with rustic lobby and breakfast area
The lobby at the Baymont
Inn & Suites has a rustic aesthetic, with stone floors, floral upholstered rocking chairs, and a
wooden statue of bears climbing a tree near the long front desk. There's a seating area filled with wooden tables with natural edges and brown leather
couches with decorative cushions depicting bears and deer on them. The wooden
sideboards hold knick-knacks and a flat-screen TV, and there’s a free coffee
station. The breakfast buffet is served in an adjacent area with
a fireplace, tables, and fabric-covered dining chairs. Guests can make their own
toast, bagels, and flavored waffles, and the breakfast area can get busy. The indoor pool area has large windows that
look out on snow-covered pine trees in winter, and the hot tub is especially popular with active guests after a day of skiing.
Location
Near Appalachian State University, a short drive from restaurants and shops
The hotel is located on Highway 105 in the Blue Ridge
Mountains, within a mile of Appalachian State University. The highway is a busy road, but there's a shopping mall nearby, with a number of fast food and casual restaurants. Boone Golf Course is under a 10-minute drive from the hotel, and there are plenty of ski
areas within an hour’s drive, including Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, and
Appalachian Ski Mountain. The region has plenty of parks for hiking and camping. Grandfather Mountain, the tallest mountain in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is around a half-hour drive from the hotel, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is less than 15 minutes away.
Rooms
Rooms are spacious and chain-standard, with microwaves and mini-fridges, but need more cleaning.
Rooms at the Baymont Inn & Suites are par for the course from the budget chain, with crimson-and-gold
carpeting and dark wood furnishings, including a desk tucked next to the closet.
Rooms are spacious, with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, microwaves, coffee/tea
facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms have big mirrors, white tile floors, and
shower/tub combinations. The rooms we looked at were clean, but some guests complain that rooms could use a more thorough cleaning during stays.
