My stay was pleasant. This is my second time coming to this establishment for a trip to the mountains. The staff is very helpful and the stay was quiet and comfortable. The room was clean and the staff EVS cleaned very well. In a perfect world I’d love if the facility had rooms that had more high tech amenities like all digital window shades or a more sophisticated air conditioning unit. What was there was normal and acceptable. I had a pleasant stay.

Check-In was awful. They ran my credit card 4 times due to a “room error” in their computer. Once the attendant worked the issue out and my balance was $0, she left the front desk to go check our room to make sure no one else was in it. WHAT??? She came back with an all clear. I got to the room and received a text message from my bank stating a fraud alert with my card. I couldn’t use my card the rest of the trip. Huge inconvenience trying to move a college student into the dorms and not being able to purchase food and supplies. I just arrived home and checked my bank account. The hotel charged me twice!

We had a great stay. Our room was clean, and the hallways even had a fresh clean smell. Breakfast was plentiful with sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, potatoes, and waffle maker, cereal, juice, milk, coffee plus standard grab and go type items as well. Check in/out was a breeze. We stayed in the same hotel last year to attend the Singing in the Smokies. It is a recently renovated hotel that was just as nice this year as it was last year.
