Greet peaceful location, friendly owners, but the rooms are not satisfactory because shower don't work, air conditioner doesn't work, and no wifi, if these things can be addressed it'll be a great motel

The kindness that was shown to me was outstanding!!! Things aren't always as they seem. Looking from the outside in looks so much different than looking from the inside out. That's a blessing. Thank you

I grew up in Etowah and stayed there for that reason. The owner saw my arms full and went out of his way to unlock and open my door for me. Very courteous and polite. Again the prices were more than reasonable compared to the inn just up the street.
