Top Blue Ridge Parkway Balsam Entrance Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn near Great Smoky Mountain National Park

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful. The refrigerator in the room was broke when we got there and we told the young lady behind the counter and just a few minutes later a new refrigerator was delivered to our room"

Smoky Falls Lodge

8/10 Good

"Very nice facility with clean rooms and a great bar/grill/pub attached. One drawback was it was quite noisy with multiple guests having multiple dogs. You could hear the running and playing in the room above us which is kind of expected in a facility of this age with wooden floors. This will not keep us from staying here again on our next visit to Maggie Valley."
