Pros

Located on the Historic Nature Trail with direct access to trolley stops

Less than a mile from Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance

Rooms feature both refrigerators and microwaves

Walking distance to multiple dining options and attractions

Cons

49.5 miles from McGhee Tyson Airport

No on-site restaurant

“This budget-conscious property stands out for its pet-friendly policy and proximity to Gatlinburg's attractions and dining. While some rooms present maintenance issues, the advantage of a clean bed and floors, coupled with helpful staff, contribute to a satisfactory stay. The central location and budget-friendly price, in my opinion, outweigh some of the reported functional drawbacks.”
