Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast

8/10 Good

"I had never been to a bed-and-breakfast before, and this was a pleasant first experience. The furniture and decor and charm of what you would expect were all there. Including olden dolls and stuffed animals lol The breakfast buffet served in the morning was pretty impressive. A lot of options and everything was tasty. It does start at 8am, so you early risers might not enjoy that. The screened in bottom patio and open second floor patio were really nice with lots of seating. I will say that the room itself was a bit smaller than expected (I think I booked the smallest 1 bed) I also barely fit in the shower… So I’m not sure how larger adults would fare in there….The sheets and comforter were recognizably thin. Mattress a little lumpy but I still slept decently. Clean property and aside from some pretty old furniture, it looked maintained."

Clarion Pointe-Dillard near Blue Ridge Mountains

10/10 Excellent

"Every time I stop i stay at this place in Dillard Ga. Great staff . Very clean rooms. I would recommend it to anyone."

Hampton Inn & Suites Cashiers Sapphire Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Very satisfied"

The Skyline Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Always a pleasure staying here, nice rooms and a huge plus to have the Oak Restaurant on-site! A big shout out to the great bartenders! All the staff was amazing! I highly recommend this place, we will be back for our third time here!"

Hotel Cashiers

10/10 Excellent

"Good stay. Will stay again. Good staff."

Kingwood Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing and MICHEL WAS HELPFUL EVERYDAY!! ANDREA GAVE US A GREAT WALKING IN AS IF WE WERE FAMILY. SHE TOOK TIME TO GIVE US A LIST OF PLACES I JUST TO GO AND SEE"

Outpost Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful stay! Such a vibe! Friendly and helpful staff. This quaint mountain retreat is full of thoughtful details that make it feel cozy, almost like home. You can get wine in the lobby or bring your own. They even thought to include a wine opener in your room. Having a fireplace right in our room, an amazing showerhead, K-cup coffee, snacks, drinks, and a TV made it tempting never to leave. The light breakfast available each morning and the cozy lobby hangout added to the welcoming atmosphere. But the outdoor fireplaces, cozy seating areas, and even a fireside movie under the stars made the experience even more memorable. The town was super cute too and we loved having dinner and drinks at their sister property, HmH. We loved every minute and can’t wait to come back!"

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Franklin

10/10 Excellent

"Didn't use any of the amenities. We were just looking for a place to spend the night. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable."

Mountain Valley Inn Dillard

8/10 Good

"Place had 8.2 star which was a little high in my opinion for the type of place. There was a lot of “junk” around the front office that appeared renovations maybe were being done. The room was clean but definitely could use updating. Had to turn heater on and the smell was horrible. Could hear everything going on upstairs most of the night. There was a lot of young people hanging around outside a good bit of the evening. The staff was very pleasant checking in. Not sure I would stay there again though."
