Check in was a real aggression. You wou think it was a govt secured facility. One desk clerk refused to help. Another stepped in and completed the registration.

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.

Well if water would not have sprayed out of the toilet after every flush it would have been better. Also finding the driveway after dark kinda sucked.

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.
