    the little creek that ran behind and when you went out on balcony it was really nice , I am a smoker and there wasn't no comfortable place to smoke at I understand not smoking on the balcony or in the rooms but I would at least like a comfortable place to smoke at most of the staff was very kind and courteous I found one that I didn't care for and I spoke to the manager about Her . he was very attentive to my opinion about that member of the staff , I think one thing the whole staff needs to do when someone checks in make sure they are fully cautioning about the presence of bears around the city and the Hotel I was there for jeep invasion and there were several soft top jeeps that were torn into by the bear and it seem to be the same bear every night .but anyway I was over all very pleased with my stay there .

    Nice place for the money, nothing fancy but everything you need for an affordable stay in The Smokey Mountains.

    The room overlooked a stream out back which was nice. There was a lot of moisture in the room it felt like you were walking on damp floors. I think a dehumidifier would benefit the hotel. The staff was nice the location was nice I would recommend

    Best part of the whole stay was actually having a bear walk right passed our balcony to get a drink from the beautiful little creek behind us.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I loved the newly renovated room right on top of a gorgeous creek !! And we saw a bear in the creek around 5:30 at night !! Great room and unbelievable view !!

    There was a strange wet substance on the floor. We enjoyed the river view from the balcony.

    What you get in a tourist town these days

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Room was not as described, elvator was filthy and no inspection certificate displayed chairs on balcony was so small they could only accommodate someone 138 lbs or less. Waited 15 or more minutes outside in sun before staff came to check us in. Not the cleanest room and lighting in room was horrible

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very basic hotel but the rooms were clean, the balcony and creek view was perfect! We slept with the door open the first night and just listened to nature. Nice size rooms. Staff was friendly. Will definitely stay here again

    Our room was very clean and cozy. The creek side balcony was very satisfying. We even had a pleasant encounter with a bear while enjoying the creek and balcony. I would definitely stay here again.
