Top Clayton Hotel Reviews

Lake Chatuge Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"A bit dated, but it was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Good location next to the lake and main road."

Mountain Valley Inn Dillard

8/10 Good

"Hotel was noticeably old and there was a lot of active construction items laying around. Lots of junk items laying around. Under the awning there was an old drink machine laid on its side being used as a catch all for empty cans and other trash. At one time I told the room attendant that we did t need total room service but if we could just get two towels and would Be good. She told me that ALL the towel were used up and she didn’t have any more to get me any. I must say this upset me that “there were NO MORE TOWELS at the property”? So I told her to go to one of the empty rooms and get me two, which she did. Other than that it was a place for me to sleep out of the rain."

The Ridges Resort on Lake Chatuge

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean great staff. Great views of lake"

Hampton Inn Helen

10/10 Excellent

"Close to to main strip and nice area to relax on tbe river"
