DO NOT STAY HERE
This was the nastiest place ever. Sheets on the bed had turned yellow. The room looked like it was decorated in 1940. The room smelled like it had been closed up for years. They gave me a room behind the motel. It was scary and looked like behind the building had not been cleaned up in many years. My advice is to NOT book this place!

Great little motel in Maggie Valley! Owner was very nice and helpful during check in. Room was very comfortable and clean. Rocking chairs outside to sit and relax in. Great little restaurant at the front of the property too!

The receptionist was rude and charged more than what Expedia had told me it would be. There was spiders in the corners of the room but other than that it was clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable and the shower worked good. Would I stay here again? No I won't.

Wonderful Retro Experience
We stayed here for a weekend visiting to Maggie Valley. The hotel was a wonderful throwback to days gone by. The beginning of our great customer friendly experience was a phone call from the owner asking our planned check in time. Since we were arriving after regular office hours, he walked me through the checking in process and told me which rooms would be ours and made sure to have them prepared. When we arrived. The rooms were just as he'd described. They were clean and very inviting. My favorite addition to the hotel was the wooden rocking chairs next to each door outside so you could enjoy the beautiful view or chat with your neighbors. The hotel is in walking distance of many of the sights in town. It was an amazing family friendly experience, family run, and we plan on going back for our next trip to Maggie Valley. We love to shop small and support local business. Staying in a small, family run hotel like this is the perfect way to achieve that rather than a large chain.

The motel reminded us of the1940,1950 era. Our room was very clean, the bathroom had been updated and even boasted a walk in shower. Everyone was very friendly. There were two rocking chairs outside our room, which we took advantabge of. While sitting outside we spotted a mountain goat. The nexf day we found out that there is a family of mountain goats. Also, there are elk that come down every evening

hiking trip
Another great trip to Maggie Valley. This is my second time staying at A Holiday Motel, very happy with my choice. Room was spotless and a very friendly and easy check in. The only problem that I had was the inconsiderate people in the room next to me, tv left on all night, don't know how they could sleep because it sure bothered me. Not the fault of the hotel though. Won't stop me from staying here again.

Hotel is convenient and close to food and shopping. We have stayed here when it was warm and when it was cold. The rooms are roomy and clean. The only negative we have is that the bathroom was very cold, but the room was toasty. Owners are nice and helpful. Will definitely stay again.

The only bad point was the lack of soundproofing. I could hear every word of every argument, every phone conversation, and every...well...let's just say they were very amorous later. Both nights. Two different couples. Maybe this is the place for hot action and I just didn't know it. But, the owners are absolute gems and so kind. Rooms immaculate, updated bathrooms, beds clean. Maybe just bring earplugs.
