Great motel, clean rooms and gracious staff
Pros:

Great location! It's a few miles from the Tennessee line of the Dragon. The staff were very nice and accommodating. The gentleman that greeted us on our arrival was so gracious and thanked us multiple times for staying with them. There was gas available just next door. The rooms were spacious, clean and I loved they had snacks and drink options in the room. Also has towels to dry off your bikes. The food at Pit Stop was decent and the gelato was delicious! They offered lots of food and beverage options. The souvenir options were immense. Just a really neat hotel, lots of Route 66 vibes. I liked they has chairs outside your room to watch the cars and motorcycles pass by.

Cons:

This was our second time staying and the first time we stayed the air conditioner and dehumidifier were really loud. This time around they didn't seem as loud. I am also sensitive to that kind of stuff. I brought earplugs for sleep and that helped. It would have been nice for alcohol options but I understand they probably can't provide that. They did have plenty of NA options and offer BYOB. There is a place down the road that has beer but didn't venture there. These points were not significant enough to lower the rating. It's a great hotel and plan to stay again!

Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Couldn't park my truck with a motorcycle trailer in the parking lot even though it fit in the parking spot and the room smelled like dog piss. Don't know if the smell was coming from our room or the room above us that had a dog there

What we expected and more
Pros:

The rooms at Dragon City Resort exceeded our expectations. With the rooms decor, extra goodies left for our enjoyment, coffee for the coffee maker. Comfortable beds, dehumidifier, AC all worked and made us comfortable. It can get loud from all the show offs passing by, but that is what we were there for, so we enjoyed the show. Being at the end of the trail of the dragon, it is what you would expect. But at night it was nice and quiet. Next door was the pitstop restaurant and the staff there were very helpful and made sure you were taken case of. Also the cleanliness of the room was excellent. Good value for the money

Great hotel with friendly staff. Great scenic drive to the dragon too.
Pros:

Had everything one could need in the room. I was even able to cook up some eggs on the hot plate.

Cons:

No fault to establishments but I wasn’t aware on Sunday’s that everything closes early so wasn’t able to eat locally as I arrived at 5:00 as things were closed. The locally 129 hub was also closed and didn’t open until 11:00 so couldn’t check it out.

Great place, great location. Minutes from town and shredding the dragon.
Pros:

Rooms were very clean and insulated well. You barely heard any of the high horsepower cars and bikes passing the hotel while trying to sleep. Beds were super comfortable and got great sleep. Shower was large and helped after a long day of riding. Dan was super nice and friendly. A very hardworking guy that wants you to have a great stay and enjoy your time at dragon city. Will come back again just because Dan made us feel so welcome and at home. Super stay and great staff.

Cons:

The way the door opens on the gravity cavity room it makes it difficult to carry anything in and out without having to do a little dance haha.

Excellent riding followed closely by excellent accomodations, will definitely return!
Pros:

Everything from parking for my truck and trailer to motorcycle parking right by the rooms. The rooms themselves are hard to compare to a traditional “hotel” and feel more like an AirBnB. Really a nice place!

Cons:

Can’t think of a single thing.

Pros:

I loved the location, it was right at the end of The Tail of The Dragon. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The experience was great and we would love to visit again

Cons:

I didn't like that the restaurant wasn't open. We were looking forward to it as well

Very satisfied and recommend a visit.
Pros:

Pleasant staff, comfortable rooms and nice atmosphere. In room snacks were supplied at no extra charge. (This came in handy as I had let my sugar get low one evening and the restaurant had already closed.)
I was able to use the restaurant one time. Had a very good chicken sandwich and sides. (Try the Phoenix)
Location does not serve alcohol due to proximity to churches and state mandates. (Not an issue for me, but some may not like it.)

Cons:

Gravel lot will be tricky for inexperienced riders. Use caution and take your time if this applies. But not a huge issue. More of a minor catch.

Worth the trip
Pros:

The staff was extremely helpful with check in. I was really exhausted after riding in the rain and received help along with patience. Breakfast at there restaurant was exceptional. Will definitely go back.

Cons:

There isn't anything that was negative at all about my stay.
