The restaurant supplied a typical eggs, meat, potato & toast complimentary breakfast included with the room rate. Very good food and great staff. Room was comfortable, clean, quiet and hotel was conveniently located just off the highway and beside 2 cardlocks. Restaurant on site was a great benefit. Was a bit difficult to figure out room location as there are 2 separate buildings to the hotel but not too bad.

If the owners would put new flooring in the rooms my rating would have been much higher. The carpet in the room was nasty and needed to be replaced 20 years ago

Positive- next time I’m in White Court. I will definitely eat at the restaurant. I had French onion soup and a bacon and tomato sandwich which was without parallel. Even compared to popular restaurants like Mr Mike or Boston Pizza. Service was fast, friendly, and the meal was only $10. Negative- what was called a non-smoking room had evidently been smoked in and did not smell good. Overall cleanliness of the room similarly was not great.
