This location is fairly new and is only about a 10 minute drive from the school and their main area where all of the restaurants are. I would stay here again if I am ever back in the area. I reserved an evolution room and didn't realize that is was a handicapped accessible room but it was spacious and I didn't mind. Friendly service from the front desk work and maintenance crew. The hotel was clean. My only issue was the fact that I could tell the floor in our room hadn't been vacuumed. All in all, it was a pleasant stay at a reasonable rate."

- "My family of 5 decided to take a last minute trip to Boone Speedway and found Staybridge Suites. It seemed to be the best bang for your buck out of the surrounding hotels, even airbnbs. The property was clean and quiet. The beds were phenomenal. Its the first time Ive woke up in a hotel without my neck and back hurting. The showers do take a little longer than normal to warm up, but no big deal there. The pool is in its own building just outside the back door and it has a really nice back patio. We spent time there sitting around the firepit. The staff was kind and welcoming. We'll be staying there again next year. "
