We have stayed here twice in the past year and have truly enjoyed it. It’s a little older property but has had upgrades and is very well maintained and very clean. It is quiet and away from traffic.

Nice quiet place to escape to the smokies

This was a nice family-run place to stay. It is a little dated, but the rooms were clean, and the staff was very helpful. It was a lovely stay, no-noise they had breakfast, but we didn't try it. very close to many restaurants and attractions. will stay there in the future. Not too far to drive if you want to go to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge but with way less traffic.

This is an older well maintained motel. Our room was clean, quiet, and had a view of the mountains. The free breakfast was much more than just donuts and coffee. Staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. Great place to stay for business or leisure.

Great stay but breakfast closes early on Sun

Overall it was a great convenient one-night quick stay for us. Convenient location in Townsend. Room was clean and comfortable. Only minor gripe was that it would've been nice to get a heads-up that they apparently stop their breakfast service a half-hour early on Sundays, as we didn't see that stated anywhere so missed the breakfast when we came down at the time that was posted.

They need to get the ice machine fixed. It's kind of aggravating when you are paying $150 a night. Otherwise it was pretty nice.
