Anybody out there who can recommend a clean and inexpensive motel for a few nights (Aug. 23-25) not too far away from the Dragon? I am coming down from Ontario, Canada. I figure 2 days to get there, 2 days of riding the Dragon etc and 2 days to get back. Hopefully the weather will be ok.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

There are rooms at Deal's Gap if you don't mind noise.
Microtel in Robbinsville.
2 Wheel Inn just south of Robbinsville.

For me, I found Robbinsville to be best central location. If you look at the map your at the start of Deals Gap and Cherohala Skyway. Just south, would lead you to the falls. I stayed at Microtel and was very happy with the accommodation.

Just South of Deal's Gap and a GREAT place to stay. Nice lodge or double cabins w/covered parking for motorcycles.
Good location for the Gap, Cherohala Skyway, and other interesting points in the area.
Here's a link to learn about the many great rides there:

We love the TWO Wheel INN in Robbinsville, NC-http://www.twowheelinn.com/. They have small garages for your motorcycle. Refrigerators and microwaves in every room and NO PHONES. Stay there at least twice year. Best,

Microtel & 2 wheel inn are the best in Robbinsville. They get my vote.

 

[djoyner]

+1 on the TwoWheelInn.

We stayed there back in 2008.

The couple that runs the inn are nice, biker-friendly folks.

The ride to the Dragon from Robbinsville is nice also.

Fontana Village Lodge. I think it's about $70 if you join their Dragon Slayer Club. Memebrship is free. It's about 15 mins from the Tail of the Dragon on Hiway 28. I stay there every year. BTW, they have great food.

:agree:We stayed there 2 years ago, and it was great. The last year, and this year, we stayed in some nice cabins (Elk Springs Resort) in Gatlinburg. The cabins were great, but the garages at the Two Wheel Inn, were the best if it is just a couple of you.

Thank you for the many recommendations. I will book it soon. I will let you know where I stayed on how I liked it.

Consider the Tuskeegee Motel on Hwy 28 just south of Fontana.

Scenic View Motel, simple place not fancy at all. But, the owner used to be a rider. When we arrived last year it was pouring down rain. We were wet,cold and hungry. No delivery in Bryson City so they went and picked up some food for us. Let me park my bike on the covered picnic area. I will not stay any where else in Bryson except with them.

It is close to the dragon, BRP, highway 28...highly recommend 28 all the way to South Carolina. Great road low traffic waterfalls and scenery. (but everywhere is scenic)

Enjoy your trip.

Here is a good informative video of the dragon, it is a bit long. It explains some of the history of the road, names of corners ect.

Ride the dragon without crashing!
