Could not find our reservations so almost did not get a room. The lady at check in worked really hard to find it and then accommodated for us to be on bottom level due to be on motorcycles. Had to take batteries out of smoke detector at 1:30am. But over all decent place for a quick overnight.

This was a decent place to stay but there was no hot water. The staff was great, quickly accommodating our request to store our ice packs in their freezer. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The inn is on a major highway so it was a bit noisy.

Don't waste your money. Let's start with the positives: the mattress was reasonably comfortable; the mini fridge and microwave worked. But, the room was not clean. The sheets smelled like I slammed my face into a bowl of clorox and had (what looked like cigarette) holes in them. There was hot water the first night we were there, but not after that. There was only one wash cloth and hand towel. This place is not worth the money.

We requested a pet friendly room but Expedia didn't convey that to the motel and all pet rooms were full. Very disappointed with Expedia! You need to make sure that request gets to the motel.

Great experience staying in a traditional motel. Reminds me of growing up. The only thing missing was the bed that vibrated if you put a quarter in.

We've stayed at the Split Mountain Motel several times for mountain bike races. It's conveniently located and a good price. My only concern was the bathroom was worn out and the shower didn't work well.

Not cheap enough to be worth it

The vent in the bathroom did not work. The shower grout was full of black mold. There were ants in the breakfast buffet room. The room smelled so strongly of lemon scent cleaner it was choking. The toilet seat was very loose. I would not recommend anyone stay here.

Beds were ok. The bathroom was so dirty. The tiles haven’t been cleaned in a very ling time. Staff had to come into the room and show us how to turn on the shower and flush the toilet. If you need instructions on how to operate the plumbing, it needs to be fixed. There are no additional locks on the door, just the deadbolt.
