Couldn't be happier

We had a wonderful time at travelers rest! Paul was great, the atmosphere was low key and we felt welcomed. There were some really cool systems they had set up to be ecological and to provide ease and freedom to their guest. It was great!

We really liked the Traveler's Rest Hotel - but it's definitely atypical, so if you prefer chain hotels, this is not for you. In a carefully restored historic building with lots of character, Traveler's Rest feels a little more like a large bed & breakfast. Our bathroom was a short walk down the hall - but it was private, and sparklingly clean. Breakfast is in a shared common room (like a large living room) with lots of food choices, good coffee, and friendly conversation.

Friendly, personable, lovely old place

Very friendly, personable owners. Great place. Nice schwag (I bought a shirt). Lovely old place with a homey feel. They gave us all sorts of information and know a lot about the area and little nooks of town.
They have a sweet dog.

Hostel Newbies

Our stay was just fine, but it started out a bit rocky. I never received an email from Hotels.com with our check-in instructions and door code. When we arrived, checked again for the email while it was pouring down rain. Luckily, we found a phone number of the hostel and talked with owner that walked us through getting in the front door. Once in, we found the hostel very charming. We were surprised by the small room and lack of TV. Our own private bathroom was across the hall. But the code to get in the bathroom is the same code as the front door. And since we didn’t get the email from Hotels.com, we had to contact the owner again to get the code. The next morning, we were able to meet and talk with the owners, who were very friendly and told us all about the history of the building.
