Nothing fancy but clean, good shower, comfortable bed, and pretty much what we needed. We loved the location and just off the square for easy access to the downtown shops and restaurants. We'd stay there again.

Great location, not so great room

The only thing great about this motel is the location. It is within walking distance of the square in Ellijay. The bathroom was the smallest I have ever seen in a motel/hotel, and I have spent my career traveling. I will say the bed was very comfortable.

Retro Vacay stay. Newly updated, quiet

This stay was a late check in. We we're just looking for a place to crash. What we got was a newly renovated, clean motel. It was cool to wake up in a small mountain downtown area in a quaint room. You could simply walk a block and be in the middle of it all. Its cozy for a couple for a couple of days.

Great place in downtown Ellijay. We stay there every few months to get away from Atlanta. There’s a ton of parking and it’s only a block from ships and restaurants.

Motel-type property, small but clean

Older property but well kept; small room, our closet was also a “kitchenette”; tiny bathroom. Saying that, the room was clean.

Only interaction was with staff at check-in and he was polite and efficient. Was a little worried when we were the only car in the lot, but the room was clean, everything worked (a/c is a little noisy but didn't bother us) although the shower only needed hot water handle and had not as much pressure as I would have liked. It is an older property but for the price and convenience of walking to everything it was perfect!

Okay Stay for 2 nights.

Plain and simple place to sleep and shower. We felt safe there. Very convenient location with walk ability. Staff was pleasant. My only suggestion is maybe step up the cleaning of the rooms, moving furniture occasionally to clean carpet and to get better toilet paper.

This is a great place to stay. The room was just right for one person. Very clean and comfortable. I left my wedding ring on the bathroom counter and drove to Atlanta before I realized I had left it. I called the motel and they had already gotten it for me. I drove back up and got it that day. Very nice people. I will stay there again.

We loved our stay at the Ellijay Inn! We got room 27 (single king bed) and had a wonderful visit. The room was cozy and the bed was so comfortable. Linens were crisp and clean. The bathroom, as others have noted, is snug, but clean with good water pressure in the shower. The room included a mini fridge with separate freezer, coffeemaker, and microwave. Ice machine is just outside in the parking lot. The owners were helpful in giving us maps to the town and recommending local restaurants. The grounds are clean, tidy, and streamlined. After carefully reviewing local reviews, it’s important to note that this is is a motel, not a major franchised hotel like hilton. This is a locally owned, personally managed motel, and it is clear that the owners take great pride in a clean and comfortable stay. We slept soundly and enjoyed every aspect of our stay. They were available for any issues we had, and luckily we did not have any to speak of. We camp and stay in/near Ellijay often and Ellijay Inn will most definitely be a place we return to in the future. Can’t wait to come back!
