The Spotlight on Comfort Inn Sylva - Cullowhee

Affordable Comfort Near Western NC’s Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, Comfort Inn Sylva - Cullowhee offers a laid-back stay in the scenic town of Dillsboro, just outside Sylva. Nestled in the Smoky Mountains, this 2-star hotel keeps things simple with clean, cozy rooms, a seasonal outdoor pool, and easy access to both nature and regional concert venues. With free WiFi, a fitness center, and a friendly 24-hour front desk, it’s a great home base for music lovers exploring the area.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert attendees appreciate the hotel’s quiet, relaxed vibe after a loud night out. It’s about 17 miles from Harrah’s Casino—one of the region’s most popular live music spots—and offers a late 12:00 PM checkout, perfect for sleeping in post-show. With free parking and easy access to major highways, getting to and from shows is a breeze. And for those relying on rideshare or car rentals, the hotel’s location makes late-night returns simple and safe.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends hitting a show and wanting reliable lodging without breaking the bank
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert in the mountains
  • Couples turning a show into a romantic weekend away
  • Fans looking for a peaceful space to recharge after a big night
  • Budget-conscious music fans who value comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a free daily breakfast with continental, buffet, and American options—perfect for late risers. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’ll find local dining options within walking or short driving distance. Though room service isn’t available, nearby eateries offer takeout for a quick, post-show bite.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have a bar on-site, it’s a short drive to nearby bars and lounges in Sylva and Dillsboro, where you can enjoy local brews and acoustic sets. If you’re attending a concert at Harrah’s Casino or other nearby venues, you’ll be close enough to enjoy the scene without staying in the middle of it.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and mountain views. Many highlight the excellent value for the price and the peaceful setting, which is a welcome contrast after a high-energy night. The complimentary breakfast also gets frequent praise.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the hotel could benefit from minor updates in decor, and the lack of an elevator may be a challenge for those with mobility concerns. However, most say the comfort and service make up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a budget-friendly, quiet place to crash after a concert in Western North Carolina, Comfort Inn Sylva - Cullowhee delivers on the essentials.

My daughter and I were...

Liked: The access to the property was fantastic. You had a traffic light. They got you in and out of the hotel parking lot safely. It was close to downtown shopping food in a Walmart across the street. Couldn’t ask for a better location.
Disliked: The Wi-Fi is a shit show. Sometimes it works sometimes it don’t when I asked a desk clerk what’s going on she said well there are storms in the area. Well, I carry my own portable Wi-Fi because of business I had no problem staying connected in the mountains through the storms and such, you really need to step up your Wi-Fi. That was the only knock on this hotel.

Superb

Liked: Felt comfortable for the whole family. Quiet. Personable staff. Close to good food options and close but not too close to the university. Simple check-in and checkout process.
Disliked: My only critique is that it's weirdly dark in the elevator and halls.

Great stay, close to WCU,...

Liked: Great location for WCU. Room was clean, comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was quite good. Check out time of noon was appreciated. I really have no complaints at all. This was your basic overnight stay and all the needs were met. I would stay again.
Disliked: I really need to stretch for this one, because overall the stay was very good. The room was carpeted and I would have a preference for a hard floor, because God only knows what is in a carpeted floor.
