Pefect Basecamp for A Mountain Visit
It is on older motel, but it is in good shape. The rooms have recently been remodeled and are clean. The staff is helpful and friendly. It's the perfect basecamp for a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Would definitely stay again
Clean and comfortable stay with exceptional/friendly staff and is conveniently located for families who want to explore the mountains or just hang around town.
We were only really in the room to sleep but it was more than enough room for our family of 4 for a few days.

Adequate older motel
The inn was older than I expected. It has more of a “motel” feel. The room was spacious, clean, and adequate.. The bed was comfortable. I could hear the heavy traffic which was disappointing.
