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.

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.

I did not stay. It was disgusting, filthy, unbelievable. The man at the front desk was so rude and I’m so glad I asked to see the room first. It hadn’t been cleaned yet but it wouldn’t have mattered. I told him I could never stay here cleaned or not. Unreal

The restaurant supplied a typical eggs, meat, potato & toast complimentary breakfast included with the room rate. Very good food and great staff. Room was comfortable, clean, quiet and hotel was conveniently located just off the highway and beside 2 cardlocks. Restaurant on site was a great benefit. Was a bit difficult to figure out room location as there are 2 separate buildings to the hotel but not too bad.
