This is a basic motel but is clean, has easy parking, and attentive management. My only complain is a lot of local road noise throughout the night (which clearly isn’t the fault of management but travelers should know and come prepared).

This motel is in a great location for walking around Bryson City. The staff that we interacted with were kind and helpful. Our room was good with enough space to move around and a comfortable bed. The bathroom was relatively updated but kind of small and I can't imagine a larger person being able to get into the shower. And there was no way to just have the light on without the noisy fan. All in all though it was a good affordable place to stay while we explored the area.
