The room was clean and the room was what to expect for the price. The manager was very nice. The only reason not five star was the toilet ran in and off all night.

Made the reservation specifically because their hotel said they are pet friendly. After driving seven hours and not getting there until 11 PM we were told they are no longer pet friendly and they turned us away. We had to find another place to stay. Not at all happy that their information is not updated.

Our reservation said we could check in at 3 pm but they had a sign that said 4 pm check in. No one was at the office window and all doors into the office were locked. We rang the bell several times but no one came to the window. We left and returned later.

I have never been to Ellijay and was visiting family who recently moved there. I was worried about getting a hotel that was affordable and clean. I was very impressed with the room and was shocked at the value for my stay. Will be going back anytime I’m in town. Thanks so much from a northerner!

Annoying But Cheap So Fine

Almost ran out of toilet paper. Didn't get shampoo for the 3rd and last morning. Things are pretty noisy, especially the air conditioning and the refrigerator. Had to turn the air conditioner off in order to sleep. Still would go there again because it was cheaper than the alternatives and that's what I care about
