This is a very well updated motor lodge in the heart of Townsend absolutely loved it! We had a king bed with a fireplace, and it was very cozy and plenty of room and everything felt updated and clean!
Very clean room. This is an older facility, but very rustic feeling. Make sure and pay attention that this is a pet friendly hotel. I did not read that before booking and we were woke up at 2:30am to a barking dog next door.
The room was more spacious than we thought it would be which was really nice. It's only a 20 minute drive to Cades Cove. It's very peaceful, and the balcony was nice as well. Check in was super easy and fast.
Very nice property and friendly staff. This is an older hotel but it was exceptionally clean with nice updates to the interior of the rooms. Will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Townsend.
Pool closed. Winter. Very friendly to my little old terrier, and have handy dispensers to help me clean after her. Best place I've stayed in years, esp in this touristy area.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and very nice. We had an issued with our room and they gave us new room that was an upgrade and discount. Outstanding service.
The first room had a moldy Oder, however they moved us to a different room and it is nice and clean. It smells nice.
The place is old, but well taken care of. I would recommend.
