The front desk staff was very friendly. The beds slept really well. I have a back issue, but the mattress made it a lot less stiff and painful. The hotel is in a walkable distance to several restaurants. The room was a good size. I will definitely consider staying here again.

I liked this place because it was clean and inexpensive. Friendly staff. If you are looking for extras, this is not the place to stay. It is a simple, no frills, clean place to stay. Only issue was the bed made noise when getting in and out of it. Older building, but I would stay again if I was on a budget.

Great Basecamp For The Smokies

This motel is a great bascamp for exploring the Smokies. It's been remodeled and is clean. Nothing fancy, but also in better shape than most Cherokee hotels

Check-in was not smooth because they had given our room to some else and had to relocate us. They had some trouble locating the room change information and precharged us $50.00 for a pet fee, that was refunded upon check-out, even though we didn't have a pet. The room was a good size, clean but no printed TV guide. Guide was on the TV scrolling quickly, so it was a little hard to read the screen. We stayed one night on Labor Day weekend and thought it was a little overpriced for not having some type of breakfast offering. It was a clean room with ample space and near some resturants.
