"The Elk Inn is conveniently located in Elkin, a nice town with a few dining options. The motel is a two-story standard motel with convenient parking. I was there for a few nights. The bed was comfortable and the heater worked fine. But the motel is very long in the tooth. Feels old and a bit neglected. Electrical outlets are very inconvenient, and one was connected in line with a light switch. The TV system was inscrutable. The bathroom facility was ok, but the operator seemed to think that one roll of toilet paper was ok for 4 nights. No backup. There was a very dead roach on the floor, making me think I was walking on a layer of insecticide. The lower floor is not very private. Overall, I found this place to feel really old and not up to the standard for a weary traveler, expecting comfort and modernity. I would not return unless nothing in the area was available. The desk staff was friendly and helpful."
