Nice stay in Ellijay

We had a wonderful stay! We could walk to everything in downtown Ellijay. The family that owns the place is so friendly and welcoming and that was very appreciated. I read some reviews of the property being outdated, so what! Look at the price you are paying. The room was super clean and the bed was comfy. I couldn’t ask for more! We will be back!

Quiet cheap property. Friendly owners but woke them up to check out. Not given instructions to leave keys in room. I read reviews that the beds were high. But I never in my wildest dreams thought you’d need a step stool to get in them! My older mother couldn’t get up there without someone holding a rolling chair for her to climb on. The carpets were old and wet. The bathroom was so small you had to be careful not to hit your head on the sink when sitting on the toilet. The toilet paper was so far behind you it was hard to reach. The toilet was leaking water on floor enough to leave puddles. It smelled like they spayed some serious air freshener in there. The beds were up on metal boxes. I’m assuming they had flooded before and they didn’t want to have to replace beds. It was quiet. But that is pretty much the only thing it had going for it. Probably because very few people stayed here. Only double beds if more than 2 people. Didn’t have appropriate number of towels. Pedestal sink, so no where to put bathroom items. No blankets on beds. Closet was tiny with mini fridge and microwave and little shelf in closet area.

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.

Very small room but excellent use of space, including fridge and microwave. Light on curb appeal but room was clean, very quiet and the bed was scrumptiously comfy.

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!

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.
