We stopped at the Smokey Mountains for a day of hiking on our way to a Knoxville music festival. This hotel was a delight, we were placed in a “scenic” room, it was in a separate building, behind the one that faces the highway. We had our private balcony on the upper level of a 2 story building, facing the mountains with a set of rocking chairs. It was quiet and wonderful to keep this door open and let the breeze flow into the room. We highly recommend this motel.
