Ok. The reviews tell a lot There is no Continental breakfast.just the way it is, and the pool is currently not available. Call them directly to confirm yes or no. The room has a nice refrigerator but no microwave. Plan for that. The bed and sheets were wonderful. The ac / heater worked just fine. Water pressure was good and there was plenty of hot water. Shampoo and conditioner were available, too. They do have nice microwaves in the office area. We used them while there. The price of the room was great. Not expensive. Its an older motel. If you are in the area, and not wanting to travel so far, this is a good place, just remember it's not a high dollar "Hotel" with all the amenities you get to pay for in price. We have relatives in Mountain City, so we were minutes away. If you want non-smoking room, ask for it. They have both and pet friendly too. We stayed a week and it was good enough for us, and cheaper than a Holiday Inn. Thanks again Americourt.

I stayed here for almost 3 months while I was looking for a place to live here in Johnson county the rooms are clean the staff is awesome here and the manager Lisa is friendly and helpful. I recommend this place . If you are looking for a warm friendly cozy place to stay while you're here in Johnson county this is the place to stay. It is very beautiful here and has beautiful views. Also the county puts out a local newspaper once a week and you're able to get the paper free which is very very great.

This is an older hotel that shows its age outside but the interior was fine and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean with new hard floor (instead of carpet). Bathrooms were clean as well with no mold or mildew in the shower. I’d stay here again with my family.

My family and I stayed there this weekend. It was amazing! The staff was super friendly. Our room was very clean. The hotel smelled really good. I love the rustic feel. I love the rocking chairs in the lobby. I loved looking at the lobby over the rail on the second floor. We had coffee in the morning. The hotel is in a very convenient location and is very easy to find. We will be staying here for now on anytime we are in the area.

Out of the two motels in our city to choose from..this one is definitely the best choice..the other one is never cleaned well and did have roaches. To be fair, I heard MTN. Empire Motel is now under new management and ownership so for the new owners sake I hope they debug the place and get some decent cleaning staff! Americourt is clean, reasonable on price, located in a good area, hàs wifi and no pool.

I was VERY worried about this hotel. I prayed a lot. I saw that it was one of 2 in the area. And when we called they no longer offered breakfast( the whole reason I booked with them) and the pool was closed. I had read a couple of reviews that made me nervous. And we had JUST stayed in a similar hotel in Danville VA for my son’s karate tournament. Our room there had not been cleaned. So I was worried about a reoccurrence. When we called, we were told our room had recently just been updated. I was STILL worried. We came out to Mountain City to see the braves VS Reds game in Bristol. As we pulled up, it did look a little run down. But upon entering I’d smelled good. It was clean. I saw the lobby had been updated some from the photos online. The people there were genuinely kind and you can tell they care about their jobs and service. The room was clean. Smelled good. And HAD BEEN UPDATED. The pillows were a little too soft for my liking. But that’s a preference. The bedding appears almost brand new. The shower is brand new. Looks as if most things are brand new. The vanity lighting is real lighting that so that you can actually see while applying makeup or doing hair. (I will show how bright it is on my skin) The floors are Genuinely CLEANED. You can walk barefoot. The vibes are GREAT. So peaceful. So quiet. No chaos or crime. It feels safe. The carpets in the hall look clean. They don’t smell. (Smell is a big issue to me because I have a nose like a dog!) The people working are clearly working hard. They are not rude. And they actually hold conversations with you and treat you like a human. We will be back (hopefully in September) But we will definitely use THIS hotel every time we come out here. I won’t even bother looking anywhere else. We also did add an extra day after the game was rescheduled No bed bugs. No cockroaches. No mold. No smells. No dirty stinking smelling anything. And I love they still put bibles in the night stands! Thank you guys for a peaceful, clean stay!!! Oh! The plug did not work by my sink. Forgot to tell y’all. And there is a little more caulking that needs done around the edge of the bath so it lasts a long time, and a leak out of the shower faucet at the bottom. Coming out the back by the wall. Didn’t bug me, but want yall to be able to alleviate future damage.
