While it is an older style facility, it is nicely furnished and very clean. The staff was very friendly and efficient, and the goody bag of assorted snacks was a nice touch.

Liked the location. The wheelchair ramp was very steep. My older daughter had to push my younger daughter up and down the ramp because it was to steep for me to do it.

We stayed one night here before going to Cades Cove. The staff were great, but the facilities are a bit old for what you pay. The bed was not super comfortable and the air conditioner made a screeching sound all night. The place is super convenient to the national park and I’m sure it would be great if they did a little upgrade and modernization.
