Beware! As locals who found out where we were staying commented, after their gasps......can't believe what you see on the internet!Altho the bathroom was clean, from there it went dowhill. VERY old & run down, including the linens. The bed had been slept in & was nasty, w/a bedspread that had to be 40 yrs. old, & full of cigarette burns & slimy feeling. Lamps were actually rusted & tarnished. Everything about the room felt sickening. Had to wear socks to not feel like I would catch something from the carpet. Would have left but we paid cash for 2 nites. Consider that anything else for breakfast would be better than chancing theirs! Dark, musty, nasty, & w/evidently workers living in rooms right next door, who hung out all nite in front their rooms. Thank goodness they headed out to wherever about 9 or 10 pm, so it could finally be quiet & smoke wouldn't drift into our room. Felt VERY UNSAFE! Not up to 1 star but had to put something!

great hospitality & very clean, not a luxury property, but very satisfactory, quiet and safe neighborhood.I have traveled to Spruce Pine for many years on business, it is a good central location for me.&I always feel at home at the Lemon Tree.
