Nice hotel on the edge of the Great SMOKEY mountains *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

Nice motel-like hotel on the edge of the village, near to the GSM. Free FR, although not FR booked in nice restaurant! Very friendly staff, nice gift shop in the lobby area. Clean, tidy (but had sheets a hole). Unfortunately there are no really good restaurants nearby, only fast FOOS-style. Great museums, and of course the Great Smokeys in the summer but note that rainy season and therefore the mountains are always cloud. (bug spray!! )
