This motel is excellent! One of the best motels we’ve ever stayed in. We booked it for our visit to the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad, which was only about a 5 minute walk so super convenient! About 5 minutes to all the stuff in the downtown area as well! The staff here were very friendly and attentive, when we came back to the motel from our railroad trip they had straightened everything up and gave us more towels. The property and the room were also super clean. No complaints!

We would go back and stay again

Amazing this is one of the best places we have ever stayed. The owners were so nice. Anything we needed they was so helpful. We had our truck and a trailer that we needed to park so we could ride our trike on the mountain roads. They were so nice to let us have a place to park our truck and trailer. It was a very clean room. We would go back and stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Just. Don’t. Do. It. It’s worth it to drive to Birmingham or stay back in Meridian, The only good think I can say is our beds were clean and there was a roof over our head. The office staff was polite enough. Like someone else, I had to show my confirmation on the app, but they had no idea we were coming at 11pm. Apparently she had an issue with housekeeping earlier and the coverlet covers weren’t ready. She showed me a room for my approval and I said it would be fine. Upon further inspection once our stuff was in, I noticed the lampshade was torn, there were no towels, no tissues. Glad I didn’t look further around after reading others reviews. I had asked about breakfast at check in, and basically got the drift that there was no breakfast. My standards are not very high, but this has to be, hands down, the worst place I’ve ever stayed. And apparently the rate I got online was higher than everyone else’s 52$
