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 rooms where advertised online as queen beds, they was full beds. Stood outside for check in for 15 mins before someone finally came. Check out was just as bad. There was nothing comfortable about the beds

Disliked: Staff & service
Booked on Expedia but the receipt amount was 30% higher than agreed to on app- I have proof. Expedia states it is the hotel that charged the wrong amount. Just a warning to double check the amount on your credit card.

Expedia said check-in until 1am. Got here at 12:58 and no one here. Sign on door says no guarantee of room after midnight. Very inconvenient
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.
