Super convenient location for the GSMNP. The hotel could use some upgrades. Lighting was poor in the room, shower provided only lukewarm water, and the internet and tv went out our final night about 7:30 and was still out the next morning.

My stay was good. Typical motel style. Breakfast was ok, make your own waffles, meat, potatoes, eggs. One thing that was nice that I was not expecting was a walking/biking trail in front of the hotel, which was nice and went for a few miles in either direction. Staff was friendly.
