Great rates, nice to have an in-house restaurant, we really appreciated the free breakfast in an actual restaurant that served an actual breakfast offering with quality food, thank you! I wish more hotels had partnerships with local restaurants to offer an actual prepared breakfast included in the room price.

Place slaps it's exactly the correct amount of dated motel for the person that prefers the quiet and more relaxed vibe of a old motel. It is what it is and you know what it is it fills its role perfectly.

Positive- next time I’m in White Court. I will definitely eat at the restaurant. I had French onion soup and a bacon and tomato sandwich which was without parallel. Even compared to popular restaurants like Mr Mike or Boston Pizza. Service was fast, friendly, and the meal was only $10. Negative- what was called a non-smoking room had evidently been smoked in and did not smell good. Overall cleanliness of the room similarly was not great.
