The price was better than all others. It's American owned and operated and the staff was more than welcoming and respectful. The rooms were up to date and the beds slept very well. The rooms were extremely clean and spacious. It has the vacation in the smokies feel but it also has that home away from home feel. I will recommend this place to everyone and this will be where I stay every time I'm in the smokies and will be sending more customers for sure. Thanks to the owners and staff for a great experience and stay and for the hard work you all do to make this experience as home feeling and clean as possible!

We stayed here and thoroughly enjoyed it. They had all the amenities of a high priced hotel for half the cost at $62. There was a fridge, micro, tv, hair dryer and more. It was much quieter there than the last hotel I stayed in, so I could get some good rest. Everything was clean and had a nice, new coat of paint. I had a non smoking room and it was just that. No dripping sink. All worked perfectly including good water pressure. It was really hot outside at about 100 but the ac kept up just fine, and I don't usually need ac. The whole place had a retro feel with push button phones and a real hotel key with your room number attached! The office staff was nice and the cleaning staff was great! I'd stay here again, if I have the opportunity. The price was a real bargain for a top quality stay.

Stayed here this past Saturday night as a last minute decision due to heavy rain and storms at the campground we were at. The room was very clean. It is outdated as far as decor is concerned but still had all of the things you would expect for a motel on the parkway in Pigeon Forge. Checked the beds and surrounding areas. No bugs of any kind. Slept well and had no issues. The pricing was good, $50 for the night. Owners were kind and held a room for us until we could get there from packing up our tents and things from the campground in the park. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a clean place to stay for a good price. We will stay again next time.

The place was very clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The maid service offered towels before we asked. That was nice. We have stayed two nights and contemplating on staying a third. Like the place the price was good from Saturday night to Monday morning was 135.00 I thought that was pretty reasonable. Close to everything.
