Tennessee Motel

Staff, cleanliness, sand pot for cigarette, outdoor hut for coffee and hot sausage burrito grilled cheese! Sunrise Cafe s interior and Vicky awesome batista who listened carefully for my fresh milk cream Coffee. Parking in front of the room. Location surrounded by mountains and lake. Peacefully. Love this Motel.

I like everything!

Love love love this motel!!💕 We're from San Diego CA. So it's always a loooooong trip out there (about 3,000 miles) but well worth it! This was our third time staying here since I have to go to Tennessee every year to visit my father. It's very quiet and very cozy and comfortable to stay at. Mina and her sons are absolutely wonderful and always very accommodating and make us feel welcomed, like we're at home. They're very personable and we consider them like family. There's everything you'll need that's nearby; Walmart, Shoney's, Waffle House, grocery stores, and other restaurants. Our favorite is El Pueblito. They have great Mexican food and great service! Rickard Ridge BBQ that's right on the lake is also wonderful! The motel even opened up their own café and have lots of options to choose from. The coffee is great, and breakfast/lunch options were delicious! We'll always stay at this motel, hands down! My service dog pup loves it also and loves walking the peaceful trails nearby! Thank you Mina! ❤️💟❤️

The room was clean and the staff were very kind. The check in was easy, and I was coming late due to an afternoon engagement, but they called when I hadn't checked in to make sure I was OK. That was a nice touch.

Minor repairs are needed to the facilities like caulking in the bathrooms and washing off the back of the door where the maintenance person left black finger prints on a white door.

Very convenient off I-75. I wanted to support locally owned. The room was clean (sheets were very dingy but appeared clean) and a nice refrigerator and microwave is provided. Interactions with the staff was through a window. Didn't get to meet the friendly people others mentioned. They take pets and the property although very old is being well maintained. They have a nice swing set for kids and a place to sit out front.

For me, the bed was way too firm, but that's a personal thing. As others mentioned the pillows aren't fluffy or plentiful, thankfully i brought my own. Also the toilets sit very low so if you have mobility issues this could be a problem.
