Great spot
Very good location for a one night stay on a longer drive. The hotel itself has been updated and the rooms are nice generally. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the building has a beautiful view of the mountains. Will definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Very cool place. Easy check in process. There was food left in the microwave so that was my biggest complaint and we had hoped to watch the Monday night football game after a long day of driving but TV wasn’t equipped for that. Overall great experience for the 💲

Disappointed
The place was nice but the location is too isolated. Code for the door didn't work & no remote. Replacement room lock was busted. Someone was supposed to fix it next morning but never showed up. Sink & shower clogged also..👎👎

Kind of "motel" looking on the outside, but dont judge a book by its cover!! The room was super clean and cozy and had everything we needed! Highly highly recommend. We'll definitely be staying again if we're around the area.

We took one look at the room and the hotel and decided not to stay. It looked unsafe, not very clean and lobby wasn't finished. No one was on property to help us so we forfeited our money and left. The pictures on the internet made it look much nicer than it is.

Very nice interior, staff was great. Had a family next door to us and since we're leaving early, called and asked to switch rooms did so in minutes and resolved the issue without any fuss.

Pro's & Con's
Pros: Convenient location, friendly staff, comfortable beds, newer amenities in rooms, recently remodeled.
Cons: Not a real breakfast, more like a few packaged snacks, walls are thin, television service/wi-fi was poor, low signal.

Surprising nice stay!
Very nice stay at the Mallard! It was a last minute pick because our Airbnb cabin wasn’t going to be ready due to no power. For the cost I was very pleased! The rooms had been updated and looked really cute but mostly the bed and pillows were amazing!! We had a great rest that night! What was different and strange is that there was not an employee on property…….. sign outside the office says check your email for room and key code! Weird! Our code work first try so we had to go back and get phone number to get new code and were helped quickly.

Disappointed
Disappointed big time, it looked and was nothing like the listing on hotels.com. Room had a horrible smell due to swamp cooler ac unit. TV Remote broken also. Just very disappointing and it was located in a remote area of town, with no front desk and self-check in made the whole experience even more sketchy. Felt like an abandoned motel 6, that they slapped some new paint on to reopen for business. Would like a refund.

This is a motel, not a hotel. The rooms have been updated, but they used a very cheap contractor and it shows everywhere. There was less than half a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom when i arrived. I Stripped the bed down to check for critters, it appeared to be clean, it had a full mattress protector, never the less my wife woke up covered in bites. Gaps under the door and the doors look like someone has tried to break into the room. I couldn't tell you anything about the staff because we literally didn't see anyone while we were there. Waste of $220. Do yourself a favor and drive 20-30 minutes to Blueridge GA and get a better quality room for the same price.

Don’t let the photos deceive you, this place is horrible. The customer service is even worse. They have attempted to update the property but whoever was doing the work must be 12 years old from the looks of it. The outside of the property is horrible and looks like a pay by the hour establishment. Bathtub in the room was disgusting along with the towels and washcloths they gave you to use. The towels I use on my car are better than the things they give you to use. Tv didn’t work and we called to get help and were told that someone would call us back but never heard a word from anyone. The cleaning people tried to come in before checkout and then an hour after checkout we received a call asking if we were extending our stay because the maid was unable to get in our room. TERRIBLE customer service. Overall disgusting hotel that I would never recommend to anyone.
