Hotel Information

Hotel rooms have been set aside at two hotels in Boone, both within a mile of ASU. The Quality Inn provides easier walking access and the Best Western has an indoor pool. These hotels will keep rooms reserved for our group until March 7 only. Please reserve your rooms ASAP

1. Quality Inn Appalachian Conference Center
(828) 262-0020 / www.qualityinnboone.com
Ask for "Black Banjo Then and Now" room rate.
Thursday: $49.99
Fri/Sat: $99.99 each night

The Quality Inn has a lounge and bar/restaurant. They might be able to provide a shuttle over to ASU, but it is in walking distance with sidewalks along the way.

2. Best Western
(828) 266-1100 / www.bestwesternboone.com
Ask for "Black Banjo Then and Now" room rate.
Thurs/Fri/Sat: $75 each night

The Best Western has an indoor pool and wireless internet access. There is no bar, but a free breakfast and nice lounge area. It is also within a mile of campus, and there are sidewalks on the opposite side of the street, but this is a hillier walk.

3. Boone Trail Motel & Apartments
(828) 264-8839

This motel is the closest quarters to ASU and probably the cheapest. They could not give a standard rate, but said it would fall between $25 and $60. The fewer people and earlier you call, the cheaper I assume. This place is an easy walk to campus, but probably not the nicest rooms. Should at least be clean and cheap.
