"Great place to have a week of fishing. We always stay in the motel. It is all we need to fish and sleep."
"What a dump! Plus side: Beds and linens clean and in good condition. The river is right out the back and my friends caught several nice fish-there’s very fishy spots there. That’s where it ends. I only went here because a friend organized a a fishing trip. The place is dingy, dirty and in poor condition. The rooms are dark, made of cinder block and painted battleship grey. There are holes in the wall in the shower, the back door sticks and there is plenty of light to be seen around the window heating/ac. The parking lot is dirt/stone and there’s no way to even wipe your boots or shoes when you enter. The larger room with a full kitchen was in deplorable condition. The table was super wobbly, there were minimal utensils, the kitchen chairs were in poor condition. Plus there were ants."
"stayed 2 nights in apartment wife and kids had a great time, we loved the area and cant wait to go back,, We had accepted that this was a fish camp. kids caught plenty fish, I left my wallet and had money in it. And went back and my belongings were still in it.. that said enough for me to return soon, see you guys in feb."
"Disappointing at best. I understand having a two-night minimum stay, but make it a place I want to stay for two nights! With a price tag of just under $250 for two nights I expect a.clean, fresh and completely functional room no matter where it is. This wasn’t the case at Green Cove Motel. The room had a musty, damp, unpleasant odor when we first entered. The window air conditioner wasn’t on and hasn’t been on for some time, but even after the room cooled down, the odor remained. The view out the back window and door was very nice as it’s literally right next to the river. This was a definite plus! The room was not clean. The floor needed at least a sweeping, the drop-ceiling needed a dusting to remove the many cobwebs that had been accumulated, the bathroom commode needed a good plunging, which we provided at no cost to the owners. At least one outlet had no cover, which was nasty looking and probably a bit unsafe. We’ll stay in the area again, but we’ll find different accommodations."
"Great location for a wedding!! Plan ahead though this hidden gem is truly in the mountains! We locals keep this place hopping as a home away from home getaway!!! The back deck is entirely right on the river. This is a definite must stay if your looking for a real experience in our beautiful mountains!!"
