Rooms are clean and the staff very friendly. I am working part time in Bryson City and have stayed multiple nights in multiple rooms. No issues with comfort, noise, heat, hot water, mini fridge. For the price this is the best hotel in Bryson City hands down.

Room was not very clean, old motel that needs updating. Very small room with very small bathroom. We stayed here overnight after riding the Polar Express. The next morning when we tried to shower there was NO HOT WATER. We could not wait to get out of there.

We booked this room as a last resort because the other motels in the area were full. We made the trip to Bryson City for the Polar Express train ride. We stayed on the first floor I believe it was room 127. For $50 we got what I expected it was a small room you could barley walk around and... More

After reading many reviews we decided to try the Ridge Top Motel in Bryson City for 2 nights. We requested a Second floor Pet Friendly room. The room was shockingly out of date with furniture from the 1960s! The bathroom was especially nice with a stainless steel kitchen sink, I wasn't sure if I was in a kitchen or a... More

My wife and stayed at the Ridge Top 20 Oct 2012. It is an older two story motel. As it turned out we had stayed at this property in the 1980's. Some updating has been accomplished in the bath room. The problem was there is not anywhere to lay out tolietries. The room was very clean and the King bed... More

If I had seen the room before I paid I probably would not have stayed there. It is and older motel so I should not have been surprised. The king sized bed barely fit in the room and the sheets seemed to be more for a queen size bed. But the owners were great and got things for us when... More

I booked this motel because the rate was low and I read good reviews, but I wasn't sure it would be nice enough to stay there, however, after checking our my room, I was pleasantly surprised. This is a nice place. The owner went out of his way to accomodate my health issue. This is an older motel, but they... More

My husband and I spent 7 nights (August 5th -12th) at the Ridge Top Motel. We also used the motel as a motorcyle riding "base". We enjoyed our visit very much. The owners, Sanjay and Rina, were very hospitable and made our stay very pleasant. We were impressed that they both were constantly cleaning and maintaining the motel, grounds, and... More

We have stayed here a couple of years ago and looked on the Internet for info. We were almost put off by a bad review in November 2011, but knew it was away from freeway traffic and staff was very friendly and helpful before so went ahead and booked for several days for motorcycle riding "base". It was definitely the... More

The Ridge Top is in Bryson City, NC which is a GREAT "base" of operations if you are riding motorcycles in the NC/ TN area. The rooms are clean with wi-fi and nice TVs. Not a whole lot of extra floor space. The management is nice and provides rags in the morning to wipe down your motorcycle. I would stay... More
