My husband and I stayed at this motel for 2 nights. We were house hunting and arrived at the motel…read morebeyond their office hours. But motel staff was kind enough to leave our assigned room key in a coded lock box so we were able to get into our room.
THE ROOM
The room was meticulously decorated. There are personal touches here and there (see submitted pictures) which I think will make any guest feel so much at home. We had a king sized bed, a small dining/sitting area, and a meal prep nook where you can make coffee, heat in a microwave your meal, and a mini refrigerator to keep you perishables cool. Beside the king bed were two side tables and one of them had a flashlight, which I think was thoughtful because a guest will not be groping in the dark should there is a power outage. Both sides of the bed had access to an electrical socket so one can charge their phone while they sleep. And we appreciate the black-out curtains and shade!
THE BATHROOM
I appreciate that everything was provided. I just got to say, they do not give the cheap stuff. Even the toilet paper is not your paper-thin kind but the thicker, softier ones every family uses at home. I think it is clever to provider a black face towel to use when washing off one's makeup. Likewise, a black hand towel was provided for any kind of spill. Bathroom also had a box of facial tissue. Bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths are all soft, fluffy and white.
THE BREAKFAST
Their continental breakfas is good. Though they do notserve the hot kind of breakfas of cooked oatmeal, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, bacon, or sausages, what was served is equally filling. They have a good variety of cereals in a cup, bread, mini muffins, pancake, egg-vegetable fritata, sausage sliders, fruits, and coffee. The dinning area is likewise nicely put together with yellow tablecloths, decorations, and honey-bee inspired coasters.
THE STAFF & THE BEE'S KNEES
They are friendly, accommodating, and attentive to our needs. We missed the order cut-off time for The Bees Knees (9pm) so we only saw the inside but wasn't able to try their famous burger. The place looks cozy and staff are friendly as well.
VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY
For the price we paid, this is a good motel. We had a great experience staying. Some of the reviews complain about the AC, which, yes, it is noisy. But if you are like me, it doesn't bother me as when I am asleep, I am totally gone. Some reviews also complain about the road noise, which, yes, there is because the motel is right smack on a busy street. But that being said, you are on easy access to everything from the motel. Again, doesn't bother me. For the price we paid, you will not find another comparable place to stay. You can have something better but at a cost. Overall, I will definitely recommend staying here is you are ever in Dunlap, TN and looking for a place to stay.
