Clarketon Motel - Maggie Valley

My husband and I stay here every time we come to the mountains. The owners have always been very hospitable from the first time we stayed. It might be every couple of years before we visit each time, but to wake up and drink coffee and watch the sunrise over the mountains is very beautiful and dear to us. That is why we spent our 10-year wedding anniversary here.

We enjoyed the room that had a comfy bed and was super clean. The appointments were simple and adequate. The staff was very nice and enjoyable to speak with. They have chairs outside each of the rooms where it seemed most guests chose to spend some time enjoying the evening out there, being social. We enjoyed that. The not so good, was internet/Wi-Fi and the TV. T-Mobile has virtually no signal at this location so for us to map out our next day's plans, getting onto the motel's Wi-Fi was important. Nothing in room 3 and very hit and miss service when stepping outside. It got no better at any point between our room and the office. What little I did get, while standing in the parking lot, was super slow, lacked sufficient connections, constantly disconnected and used very outdated security. I got better signal from the neighboring motel, across the street restaurant and cars driving by on the main avenue. There simply is no excuse for Wi-Fi being that bad and that outdated it this type of business. The world series was on and the TV cut out and needed to be switched off and on several times during the game. Finding good service and a team that does quality work is the hard part and they got that right. Having functional internet and tv is the easy part, but that part they didn't get right.

Loved the chairs outside had that quaint back home feeling. No complaints. Exactly as described.

This place does not charge what ******* told you it would charge. Very old but appeared to be clean. Ok for a 1 night stay.

The property was close to all the attractions I had planned to go to, it was clean and well kept, friendly staff, plenty of parking, and the pool was great!

Our room was clean and inviting. We had everything we needed. Staff was fantastic. It did seem cluttered outside the property. Maybe a shop or something on the premises but it was quiet. We would definitely stay again.

The owner is fantastic!!

It just what we wanted.

Room was small but clean and the owners and workers were super nice, pool was the cleanest hotel/motel pool I have ever seen. It was a great place to spend the night! We would definitely come again! We were on a motorcycle to if it helps!
