Top Blue Ridge Parkway Balsam Entrance Hotel Reviews

Smoky Falls Lodge

8/10 Good

"The room was clean. Bathroom was clean, but no complementary breakfast and coffee. Coffee maker in the bedroom other than that everything is OK."

Jonathan Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It was wonderful. Everything was decorated for fall. Rocking chairs on the porches. So relaxing and close to many shops. Loved the fireplace and hot tub. Told my family all about it so they could visit."

Balsam Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, old fashioned place!"

Comfort Inn near Great Smoky Mountain National Park

8/10 Good

"Really great place to stay. I have stayed here 3 times and have been very pleased. The last room I stayed in seemed to have been updated. It was very clean and the mattress had multiple layers of protection To prevent unwanted guests. The only issue I had with this past stay was the moisture problem in the room. It stayed very humid and I was not able to get the temperature adjusted without it being too warm and muggy or too cold and wet feeling. I did not bring this issue to the attention of the staff. Wasn't sure anything could be done to resolve the issue. Other than that, I felt safe and well rested during my stay. I would stay here again."
