We have found our new go to!!! From the time I booked the room to when we checked in the experience was beyond perfect. The phone calls were so polite it was like talking with family. When my wife and I arrived I was afraid we would have a problem at check in as I forgot my wallet. The front desk staff were super friendly and understanding and it wasn't a problem at all. The room was so perfect it was crazy. We even had a balcony which we never have had before while stsying in the area. The bed was super comfortable for us. Wife and I both are picky sleepers and didn't miss a moment sleeping. Te room was very spacious. Bathroom was perfect. It not only smelled clean but was. Some places will mask it with the if it smells clean.... Norma Dan is perfect in our eyes. We didn't use the pool but did peek at it and it looked super clean and well kept. They do offer a continental breakfast but we didn't partake as we left just as it was opening but we will next time for sure. If you're looking for a family owned business that makes you feel at home, this is the place....did I mention how quiet it was? And the price....very we ry very affordable compared to others in the area. Again....hands down our go to place and highly recommend it to all.

We had room 209. It is a very clean place and family owned which we loved. It is located in a great spot with Waffle House and the Stampede right across the street, it was easy to get in and out of, and the prices beat everyone elses and the hospitality was wonderful. We have finally found our home away from home for when we visit. They also have an indoor and outdoor pool that is well maintained. I'm so glad we found them.

We visit Norma Dan every year with our church group. They are always accommodating anything we need. The staff is the friendliest we have ever come across. Everything is always kept up and kept clean. They have an indoor pool with a hot tub, and outdoor pool with a hot tub, breakfast every morning, and very clean facilities. I have never had to worry if anything was going to get stolen or messed with here. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful. I will always recommend this place to any of my friends and family.
