Clean room but not comfortable. Hard bed, harder pillows. No place to sit but on the hard bed, a worn out cushioned chair and a hard back wooden chair. This was a BASIC room. No mini fridge or microwave. Bathroom small and vintage. Only one light in bathroom that does not illuminate the shower stall.

The room was more spacious than we thought it would be which was really nice. It's only a 20 minute drive to Cades Cove. It's very peaceful, and the balcony was nice as well. Check in was super easy and fast.
