We had a great stay after a 12-hour drive. The property was clean, quiet, and comfortable. It was the perfect place to relax and recharge after a long day on the road!
The Smokey Mountain Inn was perfect for our weekend. We were in town for a fishing tournament and the Inn was walking distance to all the regestration and awards activities. The Inn is also located walking distance to food and shops in town. The room and property were very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The staff were so nice and I love the coffee service in the lobby in the mornings. Great property and a great price.
Better than expected for the money. One of the cleanest motels I’ve ever stayed in. Very well kept. Staff was attentive, responsive, professional, and courteous from check-in to check out.
My favorite place to stay, great staff & great location to get to restaurants, local attractions & entertainment. Will definitely stay here every time we visit.
