Booking a hotel for my cruise
February 8, 2026

Israel was very gracious and courteous throughout the phone call. He did not hang up until he made sure the email and text message came through with the confirmation of my booking.

Best conversion all week!
February 7, 2026

Isis did a wonderful job helping me book my reservation. Even though I had a few "hiccups" along the way, she stayed friendly, patient, and supportive the entire time. She's the kind of person you'd call just for the conversation. You're lucky to have her, and I truly hope she's treated as well as she treats your customers!

Making a room Reservation
February 7, 2026

Hector, was friendly and pleasant on the phone. We were able to set up my room reservation quickly and efficiently. He was patient as I am a bit tech challenged. Reassured me of support and complimented on ability to handle the technology in setting up the payment. Thank you, I am looking forward to staying at Heritage Inn.

Hotel booking
February 6, 2026

In the day and age of online booking and doing it all yourself, calling a reservation line for a hotel and speaking with Cintia was so easy. She was incredibly helpful and got me a night at Cliff Castle in less than five minutes.

Booked room with jacuzzi. Paid that price. I asked for confirmation that room had a jacuzzi. The booked told me yes. We paid the king deluxe with jacuzzi price. Arrived at hotel and was told they don't have a room with jacuzzi. Wouldn't give us a refund. They first sent us to a dirty room. Bed not made, trash and towels on floor. We went back to desk to ask for another room. This hotel says they do not refund money. Bad experience all together.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and value your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience reserving your room and at the hotel. We will thoroughly review your case as room information and availability is provided to us by the hotel directly.

As hotel service is managed directly by the property, we recommend sharing service-specific feedback on the hotel’s own review pages so it can be addressed by their team.

As a courtesy we have processed a 15% refund. You should see the refunded amount reflected in your account shortly.

If there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for your understanding and patience, we hope you keep us in mind for your future travel needs!

Last minute booking

Jay was extremely helpful. I had to book a last-minute hotel room for my parents due to an upcoming surgery at the nearby hospital and inclement weather. He made a stressful experience very pleasant.

A real lifesaver!
February 5, 2026

We were left without power following the January ice storm and afraid we'd not find a hotel that would allow our 5 cats. After staying the first night in a frigid house and facing even colder temps the next night, we tried to see if anyone could accommodate us. Guiller was able to find us a hotel very near us that still had availability and allowed multiple pets. We are so grateful for his help!

Greetings,

I do apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced. Per the hotel's website, yes, there is an airport shuttle.

"We offer a shuttle service to Airport from 4 am to 12 am daily, with 1/2 hour intervals."

The hotel's number is: (828) 490-9385

Thank you for choosing HotelPlanner, we hope you keep us in mind for your future travel needs!

Family get-together
February 5, 2026

Hard to understand sometimes.
She said last room left w/2 queen beds, handicapped show & refrigerator.
Inquired about AARP discount and my Hilton points. She said already discounted.
I made this 4 months in advance of our family get together. Only one room left!
