Needs sprucing up and an exterminator.

Beds are very uncomfortable. Ants both inside and outside the room. Deadbolt did not actually lock the door. Shower plumbing was loose in the wall. It definitely needs a lot of modernization, sprucing up, and an exterminator for the ants!

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.

Service was excellent, very happy with the staff. The room was also generally very clean and pretty comfortable. The downsides were primarily in room condition. There is a lot of fit and finish that should be done to bring the rooms up to a suitable standard. I appreciate the historic nature of the motel and don't expect remodeling, though there were issues like missing/damaged trim, pretty poor paint, poor seal around the window AC, etc. I also would have appreciated black out curtains or blinds as a lot of light came through the existing, small curtains. My only complaint cleanliness wise was that I saw what appeared to be black mold growing beneath the showerhead on the wood panels. Otherwise the room was very clean.

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 The property is very old, dark and outdated.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 Things I didn’t like: The walls are very dark, the electrical was outdated and converter boxes plugged into them for 3 prong plugs.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.

No ice and snow clearance

paint peeling off the walls in the shower, severely outdated. The thing that stood out the most was that they didn't clear the walkways or driveway of snow which turned to ice. If you were in a wheelchair, the ramp was covered in ice so good luck getting into the office let alone the room. I wouldn't recommend this hotel. The only decent thing was the price which is a bit much considering the condition of the property. I see a liability suit in the future for this facility.
