Some guests mention traffic or AC noise and report varied mattress firmness. A few experienced limited lobby hours with missed or late-opening breakfast, while many praised proactive after-hours check-in communication. Expect a cozy roadside stop with easy access to Dunlap and Fall Creek Falls.

Check-in was easy and fast, breakfast was very nice (plenty of choices and to go choices - especially when leaving early to explore the state parks around), newly remodeled feel. Room was super clean, cute theme and having a bar close to it was super convenient! I read a review mentioning their burger and it did not disappointed! It's not too far from Falls Creek State Park.

Absolutely blown away with how great our stay was! We were only passing through and spent one night at the honey bee. We weren’t arriving until after the office closed and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. Everything was ready to go and the room was HUGE, smelled good and immediately felt nice and clean. They had everything we needed, the beds were comfy, the parking was good. Next time we visit the state park I’m certain we will be staying here again!

Rooms
Rooms are spacious, remodeled with cute themed decor and practical touches like a fridge, microwave, and in-room coffee. Comfort varies due to firm or soft mattresses and occasional road or AC noise, plus some reports of low water pressure and limited counter space.

The room was well lit, which I appreciate a lot. Everything was was with a great theme decor making it very charming. The room was very big but had minimal surfaces for your things, everything had to be on the floor, toiletries suit cases and such. No towel bars, no real sink counter. Heater / AC unit was very loud but worked. The bed is a very soft memory foam so it’s like sleeping in a hammock once it warms up (it lacks the firmer foam support). Overall the place was very nice, well done revamp of an old motel.

The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable. I appreciated the fact that there was vinyl plank flooring and not carpet. Very cute. Area isn't the best but it was the closest to my business meeting. If you need a room close to Fall Creek Falls, i do recommend it. I did have a hard time regulating the AC but some may like their room colder than others. Don't let that deter you from renting a room there. The room had a king bed, large closet, mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The bathroom was fully stocked. Also had a hairdryer and nice TV.

This place is the cutest place ever. Location is great, the room is clean and comfortable and decorated just so perfect. We were checking in after 6pm and the staff texted to let us know a password for a key lock that was going to be put on the door. Really enjoyed our stay and wish we would have booked more days there. Safe neighborhood, restaurant options nearby (driving distance)

Went to see my son for a long weekend, it’s a small town but this place was amazing, we arrived after they had closed and Jacob called and let me know they would put a lock box on the door and checked us in prior to our arrival. Cute continental breakfast every morning. Very cute remodeled room with everything you could need. They even had a make up towel for us girlies, just make sure to not get towels dirty and no suit cases on the bed because if you get any dirt on any of their white linens they will charge you. Not one to trash a room but I felt I had to be extra careful that no make up or any speck of dirt got on any of their white linens…over all a cute remodeled motel.

The Honey Bee Motel is located in a quaint town of Dunlap, TN. It is nestled in the Saquatchie Valley. Dee was handling the front desk and was quite pleasant to meet. She even sent me a text just before we arrived to let us know how to check in if we showed up after the lobby was closed. The room was very well done and clean. Motels are usually avoided by us but this was close, affordable, and better than even the pictures and other reviewers stated. The beds were as comfortable as home. The room even came with complimentary coffee and mini Keurig coffee machine. We look forward to free continental breakfast in the AM before we head off to see Falls Creek Falls.

The Honeybee is a cute little motel, renovated and fixed up nicely, and was comfortable, clean, and near everything we needed. The staff reached out to us to check us in and gave us the door code since the lobby isn't open on Sundays, and everything was easy peasy with that. The next morning their breakfast offering was sufficient, and the in person staff were very pleasant and helpful. Overall, this is a nice little overnight spot!

We weren’t arriving until after the office closed and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. Everything was ready to go and the room was HUGE, smelled good and immediately felt nice and clean. They had everything we needed, the beds were comfy, the parking was good. Next time we visit the state park I’m certain we will be staying here again!

Quick overnight stay but previous reviews of cleanliness were all accurate. Friendly staff and nice breakfast, especially for a motel. We would stay again if in the area!

Bed wasn't comfortable. It was too hard and pillows too soft. We could only get ice in lobby which closed at 6. Breakfast was donuts, bagels, or sweet cereals with whole milk. Lobby didn’t open until 730a for breakfast. Since hotel is in central time, but very close to eastern time, it was hard to get to things for sightseeing early since breafast was 830a eastern time.

Motel on line advertised a continental breakfast and a lobby opening time of 7am. Neither of these happened- no breakfast at all and lobby was still closed at 7:20 am

Simple and cute motel, comfy and cozy. Check-in was easy and fast, breakfast was very nice (plenty of choices and to go choices - especially when leaving early to explore the state parks around), newly remodeled feel. Room was super clean, cute theme and having a bar close to it was super convenient! I read a review mentioning their burger and it did not disappointed! It's not too far from Falls Creek State Park.

LOVED this motel! It’s been completely renovated by the new owners & is very well done. Rooms are spacious & the cleanest that we’ve stayed in during our 3 week vacation. Appreciated the personal service from the owner who contacted us prior to arrival to ensure that our check-in would go smoothly. Top notch service in every way, and the bakery goods at the continental breakfast were the freshest I’ve ever had at a hotel. Delicious donuts! Thank you for taking pride in your business - it shows and is much appreciated!

The Honeybee is a cute little motel, renovated and fixed up nicely, and was comfortable, clean, and near everything we needed. The staff reached out to us to check us in and gave us the door code since the lobby isn't open on Sundays, and everything was easy peasy with that. The next morning their breakfast offering was sufficient, and the in person staff were very pleasant and helpful. Overall, this is a nice little overnight spot!

I highly recommend this motel in Dunlap, Tennessee, the Motel was extremely clean and nice, the owner is extremely out going making sure your stay is enjoyable. The only negative I would say is the beds are just like all hotel and Motel beds Hard. The burgers and wings next door at the Bar are out of this world good.

We had to use the lock box to gain entry and there was no one around. But, the instructions for using the lock box very helpful. No problems.

Very noisy, hard to sleep there. The hotel sits very close to a main road and either you hear vehicle traffic or the a/c unit is very loud.
