Appearances can be deceiving. When we pulled up I didn't expect much from here, but, when we got to our room, it was clean, and everything was in great working order. The back side of the motel has a fire pit, picnic table, and wooden swing. You can sit out and relax. The check in lady was nice, everyone we saw here that worked here was nice. It's not the Hilton but definitely not a hotel 6.

It was obvious the place is trying to turn a 30 yr old business into a modern one. The bathroom was upgraded with new fixtures and was presentable. New fake wood flooring throughout helped keep it clean. It had a microwave and mini fridge. On the CON side. The HVAC system did not heat the room AT ALL and the fan was extremely loud. It was mounted at floor level so you needed to lay on the floor to read the controls. They did supply 2 drinks at the even social. (Bottles of beer (1 brand) or a glass of red or white wine. Breakfast was typical of the 2* motels. It is pet friendly is a plus for some

Wonderful girl’s weekend with my BFF! The room was well decorated. The only issues were the barn door to the bathroom kept coming off the hinges, and we had trouble locating the ice machine. The breakfast was great with good options. Keurig in the room was also a plus! Highly recommend and would love to stay again.

It was not clean, floor was dirty, bed had grass on it. Shower wasn’t clean. I had to go to the store and get cleaners to clean the room so we could stay there. K Cup that was left for us was used. It was like the owner had tried to get it updated but it wasn’t updated well. The paint job was sloppy as well as the grout job. If there wasn’t enough tile they just filled it in with grout. Breakfast was not really a thing. On Saturday there were 4 adults (2 in my party) waiting and they brought out 4 pieces of bacon. The waffle iron wasn’t working correctly so we went somewhere else to eat. I never saw anyone at the front to talk too about any of the issues. Even at check in, we had to call and the maintenance man came to check us in about 10 minutes later. There was a strong skunk smell at check in and my instinct was to refuse the room but I wasn’t sure how that would work since it was past the time to cancel the room. And I didn’t know if we could get another room for the night, so we roughed it out.

Room was average, grounds were lacking upkeep, there were absolutely tons of huge spiders in our room , the water pressure in the shower was barely enough to take a shower A couple times the room filled with the smell of weed and cigarette smoke so I ran the bathroom exhaust fan full-time There was a giant RV in the front parking lot often on couple times which was weird The staff on site were nice For the price that we paid it was definitely overpriced, but that’s about as good as it gets in that area I guess

Room was extremely clean. Seem to have a minor bug problem. Killed three small bugs while staying there for the week. My not giving this location. A total five star was of the upkeep of the exterior. Rust needing paint, grass, cutting and general condition inside of the main lodge area. Seems like they’re in a transition.

We were told it would be a very good breakfast and bacon was even mentioned, however the breakfast had a few eggs and no bacon. Basically there was no breakfast and no attendant. Very disappointing!

Pretty cheap and quiet place. Good breakfast as well. I was just expecting what the pictures showed with a nice walk in tile shower. We got a tub shower. and the bed was very weird, at first it felt soft, and then you just slowly sank to the bottom and there was no box spring. so it made for an uncomfortable night of sleep. I'd call it a 2 star motel with breakfast.

The room was clean, beds adequate, but the A/C struggled to overcome the heat and it was very noisy. We had only one hand towel, but they readily provided more when we asked. The breakfast was skimpy. They had a waffle maker and scrambled eggs but no bacon or sausage and no pastries. The only juice was a bottle of Sunny D and the only fruit was a small lunch packet of peaches or mandarin oranges. The place did not live up to its reviews. We were safe and it was quiet, but we were disappointed.

Amazing, they allowed me to check in over the phone which I’ve never heard of before! Additionally the rooms have high tech door handles that require a key code. The room was clean and looked just like the high end hotels and provided many things that smaller places usually don’t like a freaking makeup towel, hair dryer (a good one), shampoo etc! The beds were even comfier than some nicer hotels. As a female solo traveler, motels usually creep me out to the max but this place made me feel safe! Highly recommend when looking for a stay in blue ridge

Employees were friendly. Continental breakfast was VERY minimal. Beds were not the best and our bathroom door wouldn’t close. Overall, it’s what u would expect for the price point. We spent more time sleeping in the room than anything else.

The value was great! Either pay $350 or $450 for one night at the only other 2 options you would consider, or stay here and pay one third the price. They have a nice breakfast as well. No other lodge in the area has the acreage for your pet or fire pit to relax by while looking at the. Occasional beetle gets in your room but what do you expect when visiting the mountains. Food places are one mile away and downtown is 1.8 miles away.

I very nice older mom & pop hotel/motel. People were super friendly and helpful, going out of their way to bring extra ice for me for example. Place shows its age, but it is not a resort experience, just a clean, place in a good location between Ellijay and nearer to Blue Ridge without the high prices.

This small motel is conveniently located just outside of Blue Ridge, but it appears to have seen better times. The front desk staff, when at the desk, are friendly and helpful, and there is a phone number you can call to get help. However, service, including breakfast, ice availabiltiy, and other simple amenities are lacking. It seems that workers use this location for nightly stays and it is catering more to this clientele rather than out of town guests. Otherwise, room was small and spartan, but clean and comfortable. Good for a short stay if passing through this area.

Hidden gem if your simple. We came to blue ridge for an overnight couples trip. We stayed at this location after having tried some others in the area before. This place is significantly cheaper but a good option for a cheaper price. We can’t complaint and the staff was very friendly. We would definitely recommend others give this spot a try for a short trip !

The motel was quiet other than noisy air units (these hopefully will be updated with ongoing renovations). Overall nice stay, and bargain for the $$.
