Top Blue Ridge Parkway Balsam Entrance Hotel Reviews

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."
