Room and bath were clean, but the property was not well cared for. Shrubs overgrown, trash around, carpet in room 203 was stained and dirty. AC was fine. Breakfast was minimal at best. Coffee was weak, waffle machine did not work properly, apple juice machine was water. I had to apologize to my wife several times for booking this place. I would not recommend it.

The reviews painted a picture that did not exactly match reality. Although it was a perfectly good stop over for a night, it is still a motel. I’m not sure what some consider a hot breakfast, but apparently a waffle iron fits the bill. The front desk clerk was very nice especially for his second day on the job. Great location for a stop on the way to the S Carolina coast.

This hotel was perfect for our trip to Mt. Airy. Room was very clean. Loved the water pressure in the shower. Enjoyed the coffee maker with the disposable coffee with filter. Bed was comfortable. The breakfast was small but good. They had a waffle maker, bread to make toast, bagels, muffins, cereal and a little fruit. The price was extremely good.It was quiet and I felt safe.It IS NOT fancy,but great value
I would the definitely stay there again or recommend it to a friend.

Bryson Inn has a very retro style, perfect for the Mayberry theme of the area. The inn is nestled back off the main road and is pleasantly quiet. The rooms were very clean and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. There was plenty of parking It was very hot while we were there and the pool was so refreshing. We would definitely stay here again.

I liked that it was an older motel kept up nicely. Our room was spacious and clean. They have put money and time into grooming it and selecting decent furniture. We did not use the pool but others did and the whole area around and in looked sparkly and clean. The staff at the desk were helpful and friendly.

I did not like the stifling hot room when we arrived. This the temperature around 90 degrees, the afternoon sun coming in huge windows and the AC was either turned off or way down. It took at least 3 hours to cool down enough to sleep.
The other thing is the breakfast was meager.

None of this was a great big, big deal. We adjusted fine.
If you are traveling with kids, they will love the pool.

Our stay was terrible. Arrive and carpet and pillow cases had stains on them. Wallpaper was peeled back where you could see mold. We asked to be moved to another room which has dirt marks all over the walls. The free breakfast in the morning was less than desirable. Out of apple juice had to ask for spoons and plates. When walking past our room a door had a makeshift “do not disturb” on the door. A woman walked out dressed in a waitress uniform thanked the person inside as i got hit with a smell of weed, it was either a drug deal or prostitute. Very shady.

Staff when at the desk ( not a sign that says call this # if you need help) Does not smile and only word she said was ID then handed me the key.
Breakfast is a few items. Waffles, cereal and pastries.But pastry bread box and dining room had quite a few little fruit flies.. ( We didn’t eat there) No one arrives to start putting things in the room until 6:30 so you still wait after it opens.
Rooms were dirty but not disgusting. They show shampoo conditioner and hand soap placed on the walls. the only thing that wasn’t empty was the shampoo. Saw approximately 6 cockroaches in the bathroom right before bed. I told her about it in the morning and she looked at me like ok we know.
Nextdoor is a truck stop but that was fine no problem.
Restaurant across the street The copper pot
Pro: Excellent comfortable Beds!!!
Pool was clean
We will not stay again. Not a bad place but issues we don’t want again and friendliness and A smile a free. The front desk should learn this when greeting and interacting with PAYING Guest

There was no internet our entire stay even though when we checked in, they said it was gonna be out a couple of hours before it was back on. We stayed three nights. Never had it.
Our bathroom towel bar was falling off the wall. Our shower curtain was ripped and tied back up instead of being replaced.

The pool was closed the entire time we were there and When I went to check out, I could hear someone talking from the back office and I said hello loudly yet no one would come take my keys for me so that I could check out so I left them on the counter and left- all in all not the worst but definitely needs improvement!

The wive and I have stayed there for yrs. Used to be a very nice place to spend a night on the way to the ocean. The last few yrs it’s started to go down hill with new owners. The pool was closed because the heath department shut it down. The once generous breakfast was a disappointment had hot waffles but the orange juice was watered down to the point of no taste and the selection of other items was minimal. Took the adult kids with us this yr. Their air conditioning didn’t work their shower was ether scalding or cold and they had dead insects on their floor and they had a 14 month old with them. It’s time to explore other hotels sadly.

When we arrived we found out the pool was closed pending a Health department inspection. After talking with the manager it was because it wasn't clean enough and the health department gentleman couldn't see the drain. They had the cleaner in for a long time but the pool was still closed when we left. The breakfast left a lot to be desired. There was a waffle maker with thin runny batter that was awful. The orange juice was old. It is right next to a Flyin' J truckstop/scale that shared the road. We were blocked from leaving by tractor trailers for almost 30 minutes when leaving to get a meal. We were blocked again when we got back for about 15 minutes to get back into the parking lot. The parking lot and grounds seemed to be okay except all the outside trash cans were running over full. During the evening someone from a second floor room came running down the stairs by our room with only a T shirt and underwear that was barely there and ran around the parking lot yelling. The room was clean and beds comfortable. The managers were friendly enough but overall not my cup of tea. The truck stop really made it an issue to access the property on several occasions.

The room and bathroom were clean and smelled fresh. Not much furniture besides the two beds, but it was okay. ALL of the light fixtures were rusty, like they had been left outside in the rain before they were installed, so the electrical was a bit worrisome. The shower curtain rail and metal towel rack were both bent/wonky... but they worked.

The property is located on a hill with a shared driveway with the Flying-J Truck Stop next door. In the evening, it was impossible to enter/exit the property because semi-trucks were backed up down the Interstate and trying to get in. There was NO room to squeeze past them. We waited about 15 minutes before we could turn in and come up the drive. Then we had to wait longer to get off the property again.

My husband went for breakfast around 0730 and there was toast.

For starters, the staff was great and very helpful. Check-in was quick and efficient, and I was in and out promptly.

My only complaints were related to the room and amenities. While the overall cleaning was decent, there were a few areas that appeared to have been overlooked. The linens were clean, and the shower/tub was well maintained, but the bed itself was very uncomfortable, which made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.

I also noticed that housekeeping did not fully clean my room during my stay and mainly provided fresh towels, which I found a little unusual.

The breakfast was a standard continental breakfast. Based on the reviews I had read beforehand, I expected something a bit better, but personally, I was not very impressed with the selection or quality.

The Wi-Fi was also very disappointing. The connection was unreliable and did not perform as well as I expected, which was frustrating during my stay.

The pool was not operational during my stay, which was disappointing. However, the hotel is conveniently located next to a truck stop, and despite that, I felt very safe and had no issues during my visit.

Overall, the staff and location were positives, but the uncomfortable bed, limited housekeeping service, average breakfast, poor Wi-Fi, and pool being out of service affected my experience. I would rate my stay around 3 out of 5 stars.

I am really disappointed in Expedia's rating of 8.6 - Excellent. Bryson Inn has a low price, but... We had reserved 2 nights and we checked in, staff was OK, and I carried all of our bags up the stairs to our room. When we opened the door we could see big stains on the carpet and the room had 2 upholstered chairs that were also very stained. The bed looked old, but the cover looked clean, but when I sat on the edge of the bed I could feel the springs, it was very uncomfortable. I went into the bathroom and there was toilet paper floating in the toilet already. My wife told me we were not staying there so we promptly went to the office to check out but since we had went in the room there was no refund, but we were OK with that just to leave. One other thing, the location is OK if you are passing through town on the hiway and don't plan to go into town, but it is out of town a bit and it is a 15 minute drive if you want to go to the downtown attractions like the Andy Griffith museum.
