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.
Room was very clean, check in and out was easy, location was ideal. Wifi worked and had plenty of TV channels. Shower was a little small but that was the only negative, pretty minor.
A good choice if you are staying in the area. Basic accommodation that is clean and comfortable at a good price. The owner really cares about his guests. I would stay here again.
The parking area was excellent. We had a spot right outside of our room. The staff was excellent.. The AC was excellent. Everything was in walking distance to our motel.
