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.

It was supposed to be a non smoking room, but smelled of smoke. The toilet continually leaked all over the floor. There were no glasses or cups even though there was a coffee maker. There was a dirty towel on the rack when we entered the room.

Place slaps it's exactly the correct amount of dated motel for the person that prefers the quiet and more relaxed vibe of a old motel. It is what it is and you know what it is it fills its role perfectly.
