    Enjoyed the hotel and the spacious room. The beds were very comfortable. Only negative was one of our beds squeaked.

    The property was lovely and they kindly checked us in early. It was our first time in TN and we can’t wait to visit again!

    Clean, Convenient, and a Couple of Bears! The room was spotless, check-in was a breeze, and the location couldn’t have been better. Traffic, however, was a different story — thankfully, the bypass saved our sanity (and possibly our marriage). We actually spotted two bears in the creek behind the hotel our first night — a true Smoky Mountain welcome! Unfortunately, we visited during Slammedenuff weekend, so traffic was a nightmare and the kids roaming around were... let’s just say “enthusiastically obnoxious.” Still, being slightly off the main strip gave us a nice noise buffer, so nights were surprisingly peaceful. The beds were a bit firm and the bathroom was cozy (translation: don’t drop the soap or you’ll have to exit to pick it up), but the air conditioner worked like a champ. Overall, a solid stay and definitely worth the money!
