Perfect location
It's an older motel but the owners work hard to keep it clean. The proximity to all Ellijay has to offer is phenomenal. We will definitely stay here again.

Retro Vacay stay. Newly updated, quiet
This stay was a late check in. We we're just looking for a place to crash. What we got was a newly renovated, clean motel. It was cool to wake up in a small mountain downtown area in a quaint room. You could simply walk a block and be in the middle of it all. Its cozy for a couple for a couple of days.

Nice stay in Ellijay
We had a wonderful stay! We could walk to everything in downtown Ellijay. The family that owns the place is so friendly and welcoming and that was very appreciated. I read some reviews of the property being outdated, so what! Look at the price you are paying. The room was super clean and the bed was comfy. I couldn’t ask for more! We will be back!

Great place in downtown Ellijay. We stay there every few months to get away from Atlanta. There’s a ton of parking and it’s only a block from ships and restaurants.

Motel-type property, small but clean
Older property but well kept; small room, our closet was also a “kitchenette”; tiny bathroom. Saying that, the room was clean.
