Don’t let the word ‘budget’ fool you! It’s simply an amazing value!!! Amazing hotel, amazing team, amazing location, amazingly clean and amazingly convenient! Highly recommend! BETH, Assistant Manager, was professional and handled everything perfectly! Great service!!! I also love the fact that the owner and staff will respond to negative reviews professionally but also forcefully to counter have-told truths or stories from bad customers! Good for you!

Annoying But Cheap So Fine

Almost ran out of toilet paper. Didn't get shampoo for the 3rd and last morning. Things are pretty noisy, especially the air conditioning and the refrigerator. Had to turn the air conditioner off in order to sleep. Still would go there again because it was cheaper than the alternatives and that's what I care about

I have never been to Ellijay and was visiting family who recently moved there. I was worried about getting a hotel that was affordable and clean. I was very impressed with the room and was shocked at the value for my stay. Will be going back anytime I’m in town. Thanks so much from a northerner!

The rooms where advertised online as queen beds, they was full beds. Stood outside for check in for 15 mins before someone finally came. Check out was just as bad. There was nothing comfortable about the beds

Booked on Expedia but the receipt amount was 30% higher than agreed to on app- I have proof. Expedia states it is the hotel that charged the wrong amount. Just a warning to double check the amount on your credit card.
