The location was nice and safe. The rooms need a major upgrade.
The place is a bit dated but, very clean! Cool dragon decorations in front of the property. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I'll be returning and telling all my friends about it!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was fine for what we needed. It just had a few maintenance issues. Nothing big it was comfortable and clean.
The owners are so nice and the property is a unique place that encourages guest interaction. Cool sculpture in front and plenty of outdoor seating. I personally appreciated the friendly cat on the property. Only a 15 minute drive to Dragons Tail.
As outdated as this place looks, it was actually very clean and comfortable. The bed was nice, the shower pressure was great, the water was hot. Bill is super friendly and accommodating. I would absolutely stay here again.
It's always a pleasure to stay here at the Historic Phillips Motel. I'm up here twice a year for Tougefest. Will continue giving them my loyal business
Owner is extremely nice! I love how this place has old charm about it. Really makes me feel at home. This is my second time staying here and i will stay here again when i come to the area again. Very clean and charming!
Phillips was very clean and the guys at the desk were super friendly! The property out front had many cool sculptures. It is located close to several gas stations and fast food restaurants as well as an Ingles. In spite of being close to these things, the property was fairly quiet. Only complaint is that there is limited parking out front, however there are a few more parking spaces affiliated with the hotel behind the restaurant next door that we utilized. Overall was a clean and comfy experience.
Nice size room, very comfortable beds. Bill was very accommodating. We were traveling on motorcycles and got caught in bad weather on the way there. We were afraid we wouldn't make it before he closed. He told me he would leave the key out for us and we could settle up with him in the morning. This motel is old but clean. No bugs!!! Great location and covered parking for motorcycles.
Very friendly staff and no pressure approach. They offer maps with the loops and for the money paid, the deal was good for a full house accommodating two families. The house was clean and everything provided worked. A bit dated maybe, but functional. Slept well.
Group of 5. Stayed in two rooms then changed travel plans and stayed another night in a 3 bedroom. Change to 3 bedroom was simple and easy. Staff supplied us with anything we needed. Will definitely stay again. Place is clean.
