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.

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!

The room was clean and comfortable, and a nice surprise was the new (and quiet) AC & Heat unit. The front desk attendant was courteous and helpful. It is an older property located well away from the main road traffic noise.

Not sure where the negative reviews came from because, for the most part, it was an overall good experience. Pretty clean room and good tv. The only issue was minor and it was the key for the first couple tries of the door, but front desk fixed the issue. For the money, worth the stay. Very convenient to downtown.

I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the room was for the cost. Nice brand new very large TV, shower and tub felt brand new, and lets face it, besides the bed, the bathroom is the other critical piece of what makes a good hotel room. I actually really enjoyed my stay here and the price was beyond reasonable.
