Not for us.

If you are not fussy about room to move around in and just a bed…it would be ok. Bathroom was completely unacceptable! Surprisingly quiet at night being right on a busy corner. We stayed 1 night, cancelled for our return trip.

Stay

Was centrally located to our destinayion. Small motel, definitely dated, no frills. Felt it was a little over priced.

Great room

This was our first time in this area. When you first open the door your a bit worried, but we had nothing to worry about. The room was clean and cozy. When we went to sleep that night and the next it was so quite and peaceful. The curtains made the room dark that you slept so good. The other people staying there were also friendly. We left our car at the hotel and walked everywhere. Very nice town. The owner was very helpful and polite. It was a very nice visit. N

This motel is excellent! One of the best motels we’ve ever stayed in. We booked it for our visit to the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad, which was only about a 5 minute walk so super convenient! About 5 minutes to all the stuff in the downtown area as well! The staff here were very friendly and attentive, when we came back to the motel from our railroad trip they had straightened everything up and gave us more towels. The property and the room were also super clean. No complaints!
