We arrive late on October 10. We’re anxious to get a good nights rest however our room was so filled with smoke odor that we had to leave the door open all night to get any fresh air.! we could not stay a second night and rented a room at the Claridon Road around 15 miles away from Ellijay. We were overcharged from the original quotation and have emailed a request for a refund and also a refund on the two nights that we did not stay.

The bathroom was not clean—random hairs around toilet, on the floor. The bathroom door and walls were sticky. Beds were fine, a little tired, but at least clean

This is the worst dump I have ever stayed in. I was unexpectedly horrified by the check in experience and the room. Checking in there was no welcome, there was a hard plastic barrier and when the "person" came and he said all he needed was for me to sign the credit card form which he slid under a tiny slot at the bottom of the barrier, and then gave me the key. You'd think we were in a high crime area but not at all, this is a small farm and orchard town in the north Georgia Mountains! Then the room. An age of filth baked in. No drain stoppers in sink or tub. Dirt all over the light switches, no overhead lights, old tv with a remote that didnt change channels. The onside of the door was unbelievably filthy. I wouldn't put my belongings on the floor, I'm glad I brought my slippers because I'd never put my feet on the floors. The bathroom was about 4 X 5 if that, toilet and tub in there. The bed was miserable, the pillows thin flat boards. I was stuck because I was there for a 2 night wedding event. Everything else was sold out because of apple and pumpkin fall festivals. The first morning after terrible sleep I realized I'd have to leave and forfeit the 2nd night I'd already paid for. So I left in disgust. Not a chance I'd stay. GROSS EXPERIENCE I've had difficulty reaching hotels.com because they should remove this property ftim their site, it is far below their reputation. I need a direct way to contact them.

The hotel is older. We stayed on the back side and the rooms smell a little moldy, but they were clean. There is not a lot of pressure in the shower. The bathroom is super small. The bed was comfy. Overall nice place for the money.

I liked the area but the pillows on the beds were so thin. It was really noisy also at night when it should be quiet. So for me the price was a little much considering how old it is.

The bathroom was very dirty and had pubic hair in the tub and on the floor. We had to buy cleaning supplies to clean it. The beds were hard. The room stunk. The pool was closed off. The host was not helpful. I wouldn’t stay there again and will spread the word about this place.
