Hamilton Inn Jonesville I-77 is the last true roadside motor inn just off Exit 82 at the gateway to Yadkin Valley wine country. Technically a two-star property on the lower end of nightly rates, this is primarily a stopover for travelers making their way by car between such dramatically scenic areas as Blue Ridge Parkway and Charlotte. An exterior-corridor building allows convenient front-door parking to all rooms—still appreciated among road-trippers laden with heavy gear or perhaps traveling with pets. Across the river in Elkin are newer chain hotels more polished and better appointed with modern amenities; here works an affordable base functioning for those out all day hiking within Stone Mountain State Park or sampling local vineyards touring needing only someplace simple to sleep.

Highlights - Hamilton Inn

  • ✓ The place is excellently located for wine tourists, just within a 20-minute drive among more than a dozen top-tier wineries including Raffaldini and Elkin Creek.
  • ✓ This happens to be one of the cheapest accommodations in the area, sometimes massively undercutting either the Hampton Inn or Fairfield Inn nearby.
  • ✓ It allows pets. Dogs can stay for what most would consider a fair fee. That has made it quite popular as a stop among those traveling with animals along I-77.
  • ✓ There is a seasonal outdoor swimming pool available on the property. It is quite basic but serves well in helping to cool down during those extremely hot North Carolina summer days.
  • ✓ Free parking right at the doorstep adds another dimension of convenience and perceived safety for travelers with motorbikes or fully loaded cars.
  • × The rooms are old. They show their age with older carpets, worn furniture, and bedspreads that seem to be stuck sometime late in the ’90s.
  • × Poor soundproofing, thin walls, added to the noise from the interstate highway and other guests late at night.
  • × Inconsistent cleanliness, musty smells in some rooms or simply dust overlooked in a corner typical of an older budget motel.
  • × Very limited breakfast. Coffee and juice with cold items cereal or toast rather than a full hot meal.

Complete Review - Hamilton Inn

  • Worth the Cost Value is the main reason to stay here; private rooms and pool access are offered at a very low rate.
  • Service Quality Service is friendly and casual, staff more than willing to point out where the local antique shops are.
  • Location Convenience Location gets a 5/5 for highway and winery access, but only a 3/5 for walkability to dining options.
  • Area Vibe Purely commercial. Gas stations and fast food dominate the area, though the mountains can be seen in the distance.
  • Cleanliness Level Average cleanliness for a 2-star motel; usually tidy but lacks that deep-clean feel of newer properties.
  • Breakfast Quality There is barely any food on site; this supposed continental breakfast is more of a "grab and go" snack than an actual meal.
