We were very happy with this hotel. It was very clean and we loved having the river view and the river was right below us. We walked to two restaurants while we were there and there was also a close place to catch the “free” trolley! We will go back for sure!

Hotel staff were nice. Hotel was in a good location to walk into town or the smokies. The breakfast selection was good, I especially liked the bear waffles. The only downsides were that the room smelled a bit musty and that there were only black out curtains. we were on the ground floor and everyone could see straight into the room so we kept the curtains shut but that meant we had to use the light to light up the room and it wasn’t very cosy.

Although an older property, this location is excellent. Easy walking to the village, forest and access to great Smokey NP. The room was clean, the breakfast was more than adequate. Not a complete hot breakfast, but toast, muffins, cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit and juices with tea and coffee. The best and most unique aspect is it is located on the river channel. The balconies each face the river, with many birds; geese, robins and more cruising the grass slope between our patio and the river. We fell asleep to the sound of rushing water each night. Again, it is older but the beds, furniture and linens were nice.
