Very Good

Beautiful site on top of a hill overlooking the mountains. Clean nice pool. Friendly staff. decent breakfast bar. Clean comfortable room. You will enjoy this property.
Rooms are a bit run down. Mattresses are definitely past their prime with a dip in the middle. Balcony is nice with rocking chairs but it does face the highway so it is loud. AC and shower worked well. However in the king bed room the sink is around the corner from the bathroom and bathroom door opens up right to bed which was an odd layout. Overall, I'm not sure that I would stay here again.
I loved that this hotel had an amazing view of the mountains. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. The rooms were large and everyhing was very clean.

They need to renovate and learn people skills
Not so good anymore. We've stayed at this location 3 other times and it would appear that it has changed owners. Not a friendly arrival, rooms are suffering from lack of attention, breakfast was stale with minimal choices. Balcony is soooo loud. Too many other choices, too expensive for what it is.
Cute motel with a great view on the smoky mountains. Having a balcony was fantastic. Room was renovated too. However, the A/C was blowing the air directly on our faces so we had to turn it off and got hot at night. The bed needs a new mattress too. And watch out for the black bear. There was one behind the garbage bin in the parking lot !!!
