I had a fantastic experience at this hotel. The staff were welcoming, the room was spotless and comfortable, and the amenities were well‑maintained. Breakfast was fresh and far better than expected. Every interaction felt genuine, and I left feeling relaxed and well cared for. I’d gladly stay again.

This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at across the United States. The area is close and convenient to everything. Right in the middle of the parkway. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The food at the breakfast buffet was fantastic. All homemade and delicious. Room was clean with a great view of the Smokies. I can’t say enough great things about this hotel. They also gave us a tiny loaf homemade bread on our way out the door as a thank you gift for staying. Just phenomenal.

We loved everything about the hotel, especially the retro feel of the rooms and common areas. It was central in town, near everything and walkable. The only complaint was the water pressure of the shower was weak. We would have also liked a refrigerator in the room, but we had a cooler and there was ice. The breakfast was superb, the woman in charge of the breakfast area was freindly, informative and made delicious homemade breads. Loved the front porch, the fireplaces and gathering areas. If we travel there again, we will stay here!

The entire hotel smells extremely musty, especially the hallways and rooms. We absolutely loved the location of the inn, but until they make serious and considerable upgrades to the facility, we won’t plan to return. The staff was wonderfully kind and helpful, and they provided an excellent continental breakfast each morning.
