We have stayed here many times, and we have been pleased every time. The staff are nice and always helpful. I flyfish and the location places me close to plenty of opportunity. Mabel’s, Native Brews, and Wize Guys are all within walking distance too.It’s not fancy, but Great Smokies Inn is comfy and a great place to stay. Almost forgot to mention the fire pit and picnic area stocked with firewood.

Clean and comfortable stay with exceptional/friendly staff and is conveniently located for families who want to explore the mountains or just hang around town. We were only really in the room to sleep but it was more than enough room for our family of 4 for a few days.

Thw staff was great and the property was well kept. It was a little noisy with the car show in town, but our main concern was the room above ours was smoking weed on the balcony/in the room. They were also throwing cigarette butts down to the lower level. With the great prices comes the not so great clientele.

Adequate older motel
The inn was older than I expected. It has more of a “motel” feel. The room was spacious, clean, and adequate.. The bed was comfortable. I could hear the heavy traffic which was disappointing.
