Property had a nice homey feeling as you check in. Rooms were clean and sanitized.Friendly staff. Time of year pool was closed. No hot tub. No breakfast. No daily room cleaning. Fresh towels provided on request. Coffee provided. Several great resturants within walking or easy drive distance. This is the gateway to the Smokie mountains, right off hwy 441. Fuel available across street and a great breakfast place. Overall a good stay at a reasonable price. Will stay again
