We loved our stay in this small hotel. Quiet and a little remote. Only trouble for seniors would be access to the garden tub shower. Too hard to climb into! However they seem to be remodeling units so maybe they are putting in walk in showers ! Great location close to the national park

"Decent low cost motel in good location"

Decent low end motel. Good location towards the Smoky Mountains national Park entrance and a lot of restaurants and wine tasting places The Ober skyway is right by.They are doing some remodeling. ice machine is on third floor. They have a small pool in the back. We got called out for an evacuation at midnight for a bomb threat, which wasn’t fun. Apparently was not their fault. No bathroom in their check-in lobby had to go next-door to the Hilton we were told. bathrooms need some work. We had a big garden tub combo shower, which was hard to get in and out of. decent outdoor patio with furniture so you can have a drink or whatever.

The welcome staff was friendly. Very convenient location and very close to downtown. Only a few minutes walking from several attractions. We had a double bed room. The room was spacious. The fireplace was a nice touch. The bathroom is small.
