Ellijay Inn - Downtown Ellijay

Great place in downtown Ellijay. We stay there every few months to get away from Atlanta. There’s a ton of parking and it’s only a block from ships and restaurants.

We loved our stay at the Ellijay Inn! We got room 27 (single king bed) and had a wonderful visit. The room was cozy and the bed was so comfortable. Linens were crisp and clean. The bathroom, as others have noted, is snug, but clean with good water pressure in the shower. The room included a mini fridge with separate freezer, coffeemaker, and microwave. Ice machine is just outside in the parking lot. The owners were helpful in giving us maps to the town and recommending local restaurants. The grounds are clean, tidy, and streamlined. After carefully reviewing local reviews, it’s important to note that this is is a motel, not a major franchised hotel like hilton. This is a locally owned, personally managed motel, and it is clear that the owners take great pride in a clean and comfortable stay. We slept soundly and enjoyed every aspect of our stay. They were available for any issues we had, and luckily we did not have any to speak of. We camp and stay in/near Ellijay often and Ellijay Inn will most definitely be a place we return to in the future. Can’t wait to come back!

Very clean and economical.

Always clean and quiet at the Ellijay Inn.

The room is clean, and doesn't come with strange smell like other chain hotels do. The front desk, both father and daughter, are nice people.

Clean place within walking distance to downtown Ellijay. Older but clean motel. I would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay! We could walk to everything in downtown Ellijay. The family that owns the place is so friendly and welcoming and that was very appreciated. I read some reviews of the property being outdated, so what! Look at the price you are paying. The room was super clean and the bed was comfy. I couldn’t ask for more! We will be back!

Quiet cheap property. Friendly owners but woke them up to check out. Not given instructions to leave keys in room. I read reviews that the beds were high. But I never in my wildest dreams thought you’d need a step stool to get in them! My older mother couldn’t get up there without someone holding a rolling chair for her to climb on. The carpets were old and wet. The bathroom was so small you had to be careful not to hit your head on the sink when sitting on the toilet. The toilet paper was so far behind you it was hard to reach. The toilet was leaking water on floor enough to leave puddles. It smelled like they spayed some serious air freshener in there. The beds were up on metal boxes. I’m assuming they had flooded before and they didn’t want to have to replace beds. It was quiet. But that is pretty much the only thing it had going for it. Probably because very few people stayed here. Only double beds if more than 2 people. Didn’t have appropriate number of towels. Pedestal sink, so no where to put bathroom items. No blankets on beds. Closet was tiny with mini fridge and microwave and little shelf in closet area.

Great place to stay. Friendly staff and clean facilities.

I turned the water on to take a shower and it was Rusty Brown

Water was brown, dirty. Could not bathe. Staff was courteous.

Check in was in the evening, staff was unfriendly and only spoke to each other in another language giving an uncomfortable feeling. Only comments to me were to ask if I smoked and if we had pets. There were overwhelming cooking odors in office but not in good way. Room was very small and gross. Carpet was dirty looked 20 yrs old. Walls were 3 different colors.Light by bed was yellow and too dim to be able to read. The only other lighting was overhead fan but that would have disturbed my mate and it looked even older than carpets. Cost was 3 times higher for Saturday than weekend and wat overpriced. I am just thankful it was fall and cool enough not to run A/C because who knows if filters get changed and what would come out with the air. All I can say is never again.

Small rooms, but had everything we needed.

Older property but well kept; small room, our closet was also a “kitchenette”; tiny bathroom. Saying that, the room was clean.

Only interaction was with staff at check-in and he was polite and efficient. Was a little worried when we were the only car in the lot, but the room was clean, everything worked (a/c is a little noisy but didn't bother us) although the shower only needed hot water handle and had not as much pressure as I would have liked. It is an older property but for the price and convenience of walking to everything it was perfect!

You barely fit in the bathroom you sit on the toilet and literally have no space to move.

The only thing great about this motel is the location. It is within walking distance of the square in Ellijay. The bathroom was the smallest I have ever seen in a motel/hotel, and I have spent my career traveling. I will say the bed was very comfortable.

Very small room but excellent use of space, including fridge and microwave. Light on curb appeal but room was clean, very quiet and the bed was scrumptiously comfy.

Although the room was small, it was clean and had a comfortable bed. The property is around the corner from the small-town square with cute antique shops and some restaurants.

Well located to County offices. Noisey window air conditioner (but worked well).

Nothing fancy but clean, good shower, comfortable bed, and pretty much what we needed. We loved the location and just off the square for easy access to the downtown shops and restaurants. We'd stay there again.

These people charged my debit card twice for the room and played it off as it was only once. Despite proof paid!

This is a great place to stay. The room was just right for one person. Very clean and comfortable. I left my wedding ring on the bathroom counter and drove to Atlanta before I realized I had left it. I called the motel and they had already gotten it for me. I drove back up and got it that day. Very nice people. I will stay there again.

The service was absolutely terrible. Will never stay again. I suggest staying away.

Staff was outstanding.property is well maintained.convenient to ellijay downtown.would recommend .

I booked through Expedia for 3 nights. We own property near Ellijay so we come often and normally stay at another hotel in the area however we decided to try Ellijay Inn this time because it’s in the heart of downtown. We finished what we needed to do in 2 days and decided to go home a day early. I went in and asked the owner if I could get a refund for the last night as we were going to check out a day early, she told me that because i booked through Expedia that I needed to go through them. I thought that was weird because I paid the hotel directly at check it, but said okay I will contact them. Expedia customer service was great, they said it shouldn’t be a problem but needed to confirm with the hotel, I was put on hold while they called the hotel. The hotel owner (the lady I had previously talked to) told Expedia I would not be eligible for a refund even if I checked out early due to the “Policy”. The customer service rep from Expedia thought she was being unreasonable, but there was nothing she could do as they said “No”. There was absolutely no reason why they could not refund me one night for leaving early other than she just didn’t want to. That is bad customer service…so we will never go back and recommend that you stay somewhere else.

Front desk staff are excellent and very helpful,very clean and comfortable we will stay again.

Convenient great location and great place to stay

Great place. Clean and literally a block away from all the restaurants. Motel life!

This stay was a late check in. We we're just looking for a place to crash. What we got was a newly renovated, clean motel. It was cool to wake up in a small mountain downtown area in a quaint room. You could simply walk a block and be in the middle of it all. Its cozy for a couple for a couple of days.

Clean place within walking distance to downtown Ellijay. Older but clean motel. I would stay here again.

Walking distance to downtown

Property is old but super convenient to historic Ellijay
