Highway noise is loud. Ask for a room away from the highway. Access road needs some work. Walls between rooms are lacking sound insulation.

In my commending the “quality furniture”, everything was heavy and strong, built to endure. Especially appreciated were the metal front doors. Now for the four stars, hospitality should be number one with hotels and motels. Air BnBs tend to show this by gracious additions of amenities and other little perks. Hotels will often allow for early checkin, even it it means changing the room of stay. We needed that early checkin. After an all night flight which included a switch of airplanes, we were tired. We were an hour early. We willingly paid the extra fee. But the “tight ship” attitude marred an otherwise pleasant multiple days stay. It was a “business” over “welcoming” methodology that, to us, was unnecessary.

Terrible experience

The free my desk person was terrible and wouldn’t speak to the possibility of an early check in, less than two hours before checkin. I asked nicely, but she lied about there being a room ready and insisted that she would know until after 4:00. She also said I could check in early for an extra $40… so obviously there were rooms available The hotel wasn’t full or busy. She shouted at me to “get out” and said she would call the police if I didn’t leave. My wife and I felt very uncomfortable with staying there and booked a different hotel a few miles away and were able to check in immediately. I asked to cancel the reservation and she said she already had charged my card. I complained to Best Western and Hotels.com and was charged for the room even though I didn’t stay and have not received any feedback from anyone. We had booked 4 nights and haven’t been contacted by anyone about this terrible experience.

The toilet was dirty. The water in the sink would not go down the drain. There was no hot water in the sink - I never bothered to try the shower! My room had no complimentary water or cookies as did my sister's. I called for the maintenance person who never came. We left early and did not stay for the second night even though it was paid for.

First and last time...

It's a motel, not a hotel. We asked for a 2nd floor window and they charged $10 extra for it! Lots of construction next door and large construction equipment blocking the view we paid extra for! Not worth the cost.

Wonderful Long Weekend

From check-in to check-out the service was great! Room was very clean and comfortable for our long weekend stay. We enjoyed the views just wished it was warmer to sit in the rocking chairs right outside our door and have our morning coffee or evening coffee. So many things to do and see. We chose to eat at local places to help with local economy after the Hurricane affected so many. A walmart is just over the hill as well as so many wonderful places. We ate at Clyde's (long time family diner) and decided next time to share a plate as portions are huge. Downtown was fun to explore as well. Small scale Gatlinburg is what it reminded us of. More our speed. We enjoyed the 2 exhibits at the Museum of the Cherokee People. Need to explore the river/park area though next time. Went to our 1st gun and knife show. Learned to take cash. Went to 1 antique store. A LOT of stuff and will check out another next time. Saw snow tubing area with lots of families enjoying the opportunity. Drive up and back was a nice drive. We will be back and recommend this hotel highly!

This an average budget level motel (doors open to parking lot). Area appears generally safe. Off main highway, road entrance in need of repair; parking lot generally clean. The first room had a definite smoke and mildew odor, but staff was accommodating in assigning a new room.

We stayed here 5 or 6 times through the years for conferences. Good price....basic but adequate. Bed was more comfortable than some other higher price hotels. When you are not in your room for the entire day, you really just need a good bed and clean room.
