Reviewed By GulfSouthTraveler

I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained the Jonathan Creek Inn and Villas was. My room was very comfortable, and it was very relaxing to sit on the balcony and listen to the creek below. While they don't offer breakfast, they are directly across the street from the well-known Joey's Pancake House. This is a great option if you're staying in Maggie Valley!

Do not stay here. Was priced high even without the bedbugs. Very poor breakfast selection. I will not be back. I make it a point to stay at Wyndham motels when I travel. Was very disappointed in this one.

Good enough for government work

Reviewed By Michael M

I've stayed at this hotel as it went through all the names in the Choice Hotel franchise. It was Quality Inn when I started and now it is Roadway Inn. Overall, I liked my room and the desk clerk did put me away from other guests. I usually get put next to the Brady Bunch or Over-the-hill Bikers. My room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Noise was minimal and I am grateful for that. That said, there were a lot of little quirks and no-go appliances in the room. The A/C unit made a squeaky noise when it cut on but it did cool the room. The bathroom sink had no warm water and only cold. The hallway sink had hot and cold water but the drain lever did not work. I filled it up once and could never empty it again. Luckily the shower had hot and cold water and good pressure. Housekeeping did not come around with new towels or to empty the trash cans or replenish the coffee supplies. I had to ask at the front desk about those things. Front desk help ranged from overly-chatty clerks to surly "what do you want" clerks. It is a tough job and people are pretty horrible these days--I get it. The no-housekeeping while you stay policy was a new one for me. I did not pay a discount rate for my stay. I will come back but probably only for off-season rates.

Drove 8hrs to stay in the hotel memorial day weekend, made 2 seperate reservations for separate people riding g together but because there was a scheduling issue between the passenger in my car and the hotel we were all declined our reservations. I had nothing to do with there conflict but I had to find a way to accommodate my 13yld and myself at 215am Everything from 2 stars up priced at 150 and up plus reaching capacity I was horrified. Needless to say I won't need my wyndam rewards in this area ever again and may just avoid wyndams all together considering I didn't even get an apology worth hearing if any at all!!!
