The owners are so nice and the property is a unique place that encourages guest interaction. Cool sculpture in front and plenty of outdoor seating. I personally appreciated the friendly cat on the property. Only a 15 minute drive to Dragons Tail.

Nice size room, very comfortable beds. Bill was very accommodating. We were traveling on motorcycles and got caught in bad weather on the way there. We were afraid we wouldn't make it before he closed. He told me he would leave the key out for us and we could settle up with him in the morning. This motel is old but clean. No bugs!!! Great location and covered parking for motorcycles.

Phillips was very clean and the guys at the desk were super friendly! The property out front had many cool sculptures. It is located close to several gas stations and fast food restaurants as well as an Ingles. In spite of being close to these things, the property was fairly quiet. Only complaint is that there is limited parking out front, however there are a few more parking spaces affiliated with the hotel behind the restaurant next door that we utilized. Overall was a clean and comfy experience.

I arrived early around 1 pm and was able to check in, the man behind the counter seemed nice and friendly. The property is very old, dark and outdated. It is not a place that I would recommend to a family. However this area caters to motorcyclist and I would stay there again for an overnight bike trip especially since they have carports for motorcycles to use. The room was also a fairly large size and easy to access. Things I didn’t like: The walls are very dark, the electrical was outdated and converter boxes plugged into them for 3 prong plugs. The bathroom was somewhat updated but was not done professionally and the hot water only lasted about 5 minutes. There was a traditional full size coffee maker with everything to make a pot of coffee but the ground coffee was in a sealed pack and I didn’t have scissors or a knife to open it. There were ants on the nights stand both dead and alive. The carpet was very old, dark and dirty and I was not comfortable walking barefoot on it. This could be a very nice place to stay with some cosmetic updates. But it is a nice place to stay if you don’t care about that and want a short drive to cherahola skyway, the tail of the dragon and the moonshiner.

Wonderful lad running the place. I came at the worst time, after the hurricane, no wifi, no cell service, no way for him to know for sure our card would work other than our word. Lovely small town inn, nothing special, but everything is very thoughtful. Homey feel.
