Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and the proprietors were very friendly, kind and helpful but the property is a bit run down. Bathroom recently renovated, though, and the beds were fine. Towels were skimpy. A fine, relatively inexpensive place to sleep for one night.

Oldschool

A small, quite, old fashioned hotel....clearly well taken care of considering it's age...simple, clean, was honestly like staying at my grandma's in 1996. Some people like fancy ammenities and modern updates, if it's not broken, why are we fixing it? Basic and extremely clean.

Needs updating

Check in was farcical. Beds reasonably comfortable and rooms were clean enough. Toilet didn’t flush properly. Shower kept dripping all night keeping me awake. Premises generally needed attention.

Eclipse Visitors NOT Welcome

The hotel was ok, the staff was friendly, but the town of Johnson City was not welcoming to visitors. We went to a local bar in town and they would not serve us. All of the residential streets were blocked with residents only signs. I will not be returning to Johnson City EVER. If i were you, find somewhere else to go.

overcharge and misrepresention of property

It was an overdharge and misrepresentation of property. We reserved on line and quoted $80 room, $90 total. Office charged $90 , $105 total. said booking agent was to blame. Lights didn't work, holes in ceiling, one bed was unsleepable! Roll to the center and can't pull yourself out. Wife moved to other bed for relief., no security chain on door. I could go on.... Don't stay here! Owner would rather have extra $15 than a good review. First of all we were overcharged, we were given a guaranteed price of $90.00 to be paid upon check-in we were charged $105.21 we also asked for a king bed when making the reservation when we checked in we were told the property did not have king beds. We were also charged a 3% for using a credit card. We expect a refund on the overcharge and we will not book with you again. Please reply.

Pricey, but at least it is clean.

This is a cleaner place than expected. It is dated but everything works and it was a place to sleep. It was more expensive that you would expect for similar accommodations in town. No carpet, so no funky smell.

Do not stay here. The door wouldn’t completely close - we could see daylight between the door and frame. We also killed a handful of bugs in the room. The shower/tub was gross. We didn’t even shower.

This modest motel is conveniently located to restaurants, convenience stores, and state and national parks. The room was clean, bed and pillows comfy, and for the very low comparative price, it worked well. Water was hot, lots of clean towels, plenty of parking space, and a manager onsite to get you extra coffee. Internet was not as fast and sure as usual, but it did get the job done.
